Cesaral Open Perceptions, by César Alonso

Primary Effect: 

You, the magician or psychic, give a deck of cards and a dozen envelopes to an audience member. You instruct the volunteer to pick a card, memorize it and then insert the card into an envelope. Finally you invite this person to give the remaining cards and envelopes to another audience member. This Audience member is instructed to do the same as the first. You can continue to have them pass on the cards and envelopes to different people until all the envelopes are gone or there are no more volunteers.

The last audience member gives the remaining cards and possibly the remaining envelopes to a trustworthy audience member for safe keeping.

After the above setup has been done the magician says:

"You may be puzzled; wondering why I’ve asked you to secretly select and hide cards in the envelopes you are now holding. Well tonight I would like to conduct both a little survey and an experiment. First the survey, I want your feedback, your opinion of what you think of me, this experiment and my show. To make things a little easier for you, I have prepared this rubber stamp with a few survey comments. Just stamp the questionnaire onto your envelope and check one or more of the options given.”

The stamp could have these options or whatever ones the magician wants:

□ There is no way the magician can divine my card!

□ If he can, he must be a clairvoyant!

□ If he can, he’s too dangerous to be allowed to roam free.

□ You are an amazing Magician! Contact me at ___________.

After they’ve answered the survey, you as the magician or psychic, are able to name one by one each of the cards the audience members chose and hid in their envelopes.

You can vary the presentation so that you have them stamp your business card right onto their envelopes. When the effect is over they can keep the envelope with your contact information and have a great keepsake of your show!

Bonus Effect - Impossible Travel: A freely chosen card, kept by an audience member hidden inside an envelope, travels to an empty envelope that has been present in the middle of the stage the whole time! Methods to do this effect ALONE sell for thousands.

 Important points:

• The best chipped cards on the market are included. Done in Bicycle but other are available: Vintage 1800, Spanish Fournier, Tarot, and others.

• The magician NEVER touches the cards. He can be up to 54 yards (50 meters, or 164 feet) away from them the whole time.

• There are many options for the rubber stamp, and you can custom order any design for it. You can also have several rubber stamps depending on which presentation you want to present in any given show.

• The method is original, clean, and all props look completely innocent.

• No forces are necessary.

• Great for both stage and close-up.

• Cutting edge electronics make this very easy to do, allowing you to concentrate on a presentation that will leave your audience knowing that you CONTROLLED their actions, READ their minds or SAW the future!
