Second Trick: Ashes on Arm

Effect: The magician has a spectator pick a card and memorize it. With the deck in hand the magician loses the spectators card with ease. As the spectator screams the name of the card in their mind the magician takes ash from an ash tray; and rubs the ash, all over his/her arm. The figure of the spectator's card emerges from the ash on the magician's arm.

Set-Up: Take a single card (lets say the King of Clubs) out of a deck of cards, and lay it on a table. With rubber cement draw the representing letter/number, and sign on your arm. Let the rubber cement dry for a couple of minutes, and you are ready to perform.

Method:

1. Force the card you drew on your arm (King of Clubs)

• Card Force (Riffle):
• Put the desired card in the middle of the deck.
• Keep a pink break over the desired card.
• Riffle down the side that faces the spectator.
• Have them yell stop!
• Cut the deck at your break and let them take the card
1. Have them memorize the card, and place it back in the deck.
2. Mix the cards up losing their card.
3. Come up with some patter about ash, and their card to say.
4. Rub the ash over your already placed rubber cement.
5. AND ENJOY!
