Introduction :

This is my version of a classic effect that is based on a mathematical principle .It is automatic. I will also explain how to create your own sentences .

Effect :

Four MEN and four WOMEN are displayed, and reassembled in one single heap . The spectators cut it freely , face down.Then, four cards are put in one pile and the other four in another pile.

The men represent four guys who decided to place an ad in a newspaper to seek for ladies for Valentines's day. The ad is spelled with the two piles and amazingly the men and the women end up paired by suit.

Presentation :

For this presentation, it is better to have four ladies or four men as participants.We'll suppose they are four ladies.

Write the four participants names on four different business cards.

Ask them to name four male names they know, or take the names of four men in the audience.Write those names on four other business cards .

The eight business cards should all have the same back.

For the explanation, we'll call the four male names the « Kings » and the four female ones,

the Queens.

Show the four Kings and four Queens . Reassemble them ,turn the heap face down and have it cut (and completed cut) by the spectators.

Take the first four cards and deal them on the side, to make a separate pile.

« Here is a little story about four guys . The week before Valentine's day, they decided to place an ad in their local newspaper. The ad was just : « Men desiring women ».

« They received a lot of replies and selected four ladies .Here they are !

The next step was to decide which lady for each guy ! This was the most difficult part as they were all very pretty! So they decided to play a random game by spelling the ad. » Ask one of the four participants :

« Which pile do you want to start with ?

Now , spell « M » and deal the top card to the bottom of that pile.

The second letter is « E ».

Which pile do you want to choose ?

OK . Spell « E » and deal the top card to the bottom . The third letter is « N ».

Which pile ?

Spell « N » and deal the top card of that pile to the bottom. »

« We have finished spelling the first word. The result is completely random. Please take the first cards that ended up on top of each pile and put them together on your side, face down . This will be the first couple.Maybe it is two men or two women, who knows !»

Now, ask another participant to run through the same process for the word : DESIRING At the end, have the top card of each pile put on her side, face down.

And finally, ask another spectator to do the same with the word : WOMEN Again, the top cards are put on her side face down.

Ask the fourth spectator to take the two remaining cards .This will be the fourth couple.

« All the couples have now been decided randomly and it was your free choice . Please have a look at the result. Remember , it can be two Queens or two Kings ! We don't know. Let's hope the result will match your sexual preferences whether you are hetero or bisexual !»

Each spectator will have a paired KING and QUEEN of the same suit each time ! Secret :

The effect is automatic.Just have the men's names and the ladies'names arranged in the same suit order (for instance CHSD for the Kings, followed by CHSD for the Queens).

The heap can be cut many times, it does not matter.

After the cut, the four top cards just need to be reversed : Just deal them one by one in a separate pile .Then follow the procedure and it will always end up with four matched pairs.

The other part of the secret is the spelling sentence. Each word needs to have a special

number of letters to make it work.

Explanation :

For a pile of N=4 cards , we need 3 words (N-1).

The first word must have N-1 , or 2N-1 , or 3N-1 , etc. letters . The second word must have N-2 , or 2N-3 , or 3N-4, etc. letters The third word must have N-3 , or 2N-5 , or 3N-7, etc. letters.

( Actually, the last word is the easiest one ,as it can be made of any odd number of letters ) For N=4 :

Word 1 = 3 , 7 , etc. For instance : MEN = 3

Word 2 = 2 , 5 , 8 , etc. For instance : DESIRING = 8 Word 3 = 1 , 3 , 5 , 7 , etc. For instance : WOMEN = 5 Generalisation :

I have never seen the explanation anywhere.Here it is.

This effect will work with any number of cards .

For N cards (N = number of cards in one pile – Both piles must have the same number of cards ) , we need (N-1) words .

ELIMINATION

« Predict anything without writing anything ! »

Effect :

A prediction is given to hold to a Spectator in his pocket.

51 cards are eliminated randomly .Only one is left . The prediction is opened : it is the same card.

100% impromptu.

Secret :

Very simple ! The color is forced. Then the Suit and then the Value of the card.

There are many ways to force but the beauty of this effect is the MATSUYAMA force.

Setup :

With the MATSUYAMA force, the effect is 100% impromptu and you don't even need a deck of playing cards.

All you need are a bunch of normal business cards. They can be borrowed.

Alternatively, you can use pieces of newspaper, playing cards,beer mats, flyers, etc...

Presentation :

The patter will vary according to the information you want to force.

This principle can also be used in other routines .

Here we'll do a card effect without cards !This is perfect if somebody is asking you for a card trick ,or if somebody tells you that he doesn't like card tricks or cards .

« Ladies and gentemen, I am going to present you a card effect without cards ! »

« Also, I am not going to ask you to select a card. You are going to eliminate 51 cards ! »

« I know, the result is the same, but doing this way is longer and we have plenty of time ! »

« All I need is a bunch of business cards. Can you please give me your card, and you too... » Do this until you have 20 or 30 business cards. If needed, take your own cards , give them for examination and add them to the ones you collected from the audience.

If you are in a pub, just use beer mats.

If there is a newspaper handy, or a magazine, tear pages into small square pieces.

Take a business card and write the card you want to predict (for instance the QUEEN of DIAMONDS)

Give it to a Spectator to put into his pocket without looking at it.

« We are now going to eliminate 51 cards.

We'll first eliminate the reds or the blacks.

Then depending on the result, we'll eliminate either CLUBS/SPADES or HEARTS/DIAMONDS ,then SPOT or FIGURE CARDS , and so on.

The process of elimination will be done with these business cards. » ( or else).

Give the business cards to a Spectator . RED or BLACK :

For instance, let's say you want to force RED .

Ask the Spectator to take any number he wants without showing you . Ask him if he wants to start with RED or with BLACK.

If he says RED :

Tell him to take the top card and put it on the bottom . Say « RED » Then to take the next card and put it on the table, saying «BLACK»

Then to take the next one and put it on the bottom, saying «RED»

Then to take the next card and put it on the table, saying «BLACK»

and so on, until only one card is left : it will always be RED in this case.

If he says BLACK:

Tell him to take the top card and put it on the table, saying «BLACK»

Then to take the next one and put it on the bottom, saying «RED»

Then to take the next card and put it on the table, saying «BLACK»

and so on, until only one card is left : it will always be RED in this case.

HEARTS or DIAMONDS :

You have forced RED. The suit can therefore be HEARTS or DIAMONDS.

Let's say you want to force DIAMONDS for instance .

Ask another Spectator to take any number of cards , or else ,he wants without showing you . Ask him if he wants to start with HEARTS or DIAMONDS.

If he says DIAMONDS :

Tell him to take the top card and put it on the bottom . Say « DIAMONDS » Then to take the next card and put it on the table, saying « HEARTS » Then to take the next one and put it on the bottom, saying « DIAMONDS » Then to take the next card and put it on the table, saying « HEARTS »

and so on, until only one card is left : it will always be DIAMONDS in this case.

If he says HEARTS :

Tell him to take the top card and put it on the table, saying « HEARTS » Then to take the next one and put it on the bottom, saying « DIAMONDS » Then to take the next card and put it on the table, saying « HEARTS » and so on, until only one card is left : it will always be DIAMONDS again.

SPOT or FIGURE

Now, we need to force a FIGURE card.

Ask another Spectator to add or remove business cards again , without showing you.

Do the same procedure as before .Be consistent with the previous procedure. If you started by dealing on the table previously , say SPOT and deal the card on the table first.

If you started by dealing on the bottom, say FIGURE and put the top card on the bottom.

Anyway, you have now forced FIGURE and DIAMONDS.

VALUE

Now you need to force the Value.

To make it short, we have forced a figure. So the card can only be a Jack, Queen or King.

If you want to force the Queen, just redo the procedure and say MALE or FEMALE .

When you deal the cards to the bottom, make sure it is always when you say FEMALE, and you will always end up with FEMALE in your hand ( or the Spectator's hands).

If you want to force the JACK for instance, then you need to add another pass. First force MALE.

Then force JACK by saying JACK and KING.

At the end , you will have determined a card : for instance the QUEEN of DIAMONDS in our example.

REVELATION :

Summarize and reinforce the fact that you didn't know everytime what the number of business cards was,if it was odd or even, etc.

The elimination procedure was completely fair.

Ask the Spectator to take the prediction out of his pocket and read it aloud.

Final thoughts :

You can use this principle for almost anything.

- OBJECTS :

The force used in here is from Mitsunobu MATSUYAMA Any other suitable force can be used .
