HARRY
ANDERSON'S THE SHADOW CARD
A deck of cards is wrapped with a rubber band (to eliminate any possible
sleight-of-hand). Three spectators peek at the top card and remember its identity. The
band is removed and a fourth spectator is handed the top card. The three spectators name
their cards. Each names a different card! The fourth spectator shows that the card he is
holding is a joker and not the cards named!
You explain that just like Lamont Cranston of "Shadow" fame, you have
learned "the mysterious power to cloud men's minds." Although the spectators
actually saw the joker, you forced another image into their mind.
By way of demonstration the deck is split in half, one packet goes to a fellow,
the other to a lady. The fellow glimpses a card in his half and removes it. He is asked to
concentrate intently on his chosen card. The lady also glimpses a card in her half, but
when she goes to remove it it's not there. It never was! The card that the lady thought
she saw is none other than the card being held by the fellow! Did she see another card
altogether? Did the fellow's intense thought cloud her mind? Only the Shadow knows!
Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh,...
Comes with two gaffed blue-back Bicycle cards and illustrated instructions. Use
your own deck.
