An out-of-this-world twist that’s streamlined and ready for those moments when a table just isn’t in the cards (pun intended).
BASIC EFFECT:
The performer dives into the realms of intuition, chance, and that nagging feeling we all get when something feels “right” or “wrong.” A deck of cards is introduced and genuinely shuffled (yes, really!). Half the deck goes into the void (or your pocket), simplifying the demonstration. The remaining half is handed to the spectator, who’s invited to deal the cards into two piles using the performer's outstretched palms as a makeshift table. Once the cards are dealt, it’s revealed that one pile consists of all reds and the other all blacks! The spectator has magically sorted the cards without a clue as to how it happened.
BENEFITS:
- Dead easy to do; you could be performing it the same day you buy it.
- No stacks or pre-arranged order—cards can be genuinely shuffled.
- Unlike other OOTW effects, this one’s done in the hands, making it ideal for walk-around performances and offering a brilliant visual for your audience.
- You can carry on with your usual repertoire without the hassle of switching to a gimmicked deck—all you need is the Dichotomy deck.
Dee Christopher has stripped away the unnecessary frills that once made him shy away from the traditional method. He’s crafted a simple, direct, and in-the-hands demonstration, tailored for today’s street and walk-around performers.
“The thing that really stands out from the detail he goes into is the level of thought and consideration for the psychology behind the routine. It's not just a case of ‘wham, they're all red and they're all black, see ya!’ Something else I enjoyed about this presentation and method over others is that it’s performed in the hands. Dee performs mainly in nightclubs, as he mentions in the ebook, so it makes sense that his handling would work under such conditions. Plus, we all know that the impact on someone's magical experience is heightened when we engage more of their senses and involve them physically in the effect. Which this does.”
- Ken Dyne (author of Whispers, Primal Prediction and one of the top corporate mentalists in the UK) “I bought the pdf and all I have to say is ‘congratulations!’ This is a worker, I will use it for sure. Very clever, well-thought, direct, all happens in the spectator's hands!”
- Doriancaudal (from the Magic Cafe) “A very good effect, very well thought out and indeed easy to perform!”
- Nefesch (Author of countless works of mentalism and magic) “I would just like to add my 10 cents for what it’s worth and say how impressed I am with Dichotomy and the pure simplicity of the handling. This is just what this demonstration needs. After all, when you think about it, OOTW should be a straightforward demonstration, and this effect Dee has put out makes it possible. It comes as no surprise when a magician shows off their sleight of hand, but when a real person—your assistant—helps you accomplish the demonstration themselves, that’s real magic. There have been numerous methods to achieve OOTW, but Dichotomy nails it by working in stand-up and walk-around conditions, making it a worthy addition to our collection.”
