Effect
A deck of cards is plonked down on the table. A spectator is invited to think of any playing card while the magician confidently claims he’ll name it.
After a moment of contemplation, the performer boldly announces, "The name of your card is Phil! You know, short for Phillip!" The audience, naturally, is a bit taken aback. The deck is revealed to have different names printed in big, bold letters on the back of each card. When it’s turned face up, the card that the spectator called out? You guessed it — it’s the only card named Phil!
(And no, it’s not Rough and Smooth!)
Only One Deck Is Used!
Instantly Reset!
No Force of Any Kind!
No Sleight of Hand!
Any Card Can Be Named!
Historical Note: The roots of this routine stretch back to Fred Lowe's "Christened Reverse." Over the years, a fair few methods have popped up. Trevor Duffy has reimagined a version originally crafted by Phil Goldstein in the early 1980s, called "Final Fred." This gem made its debut at the 1985 FISM convention in Madrid. Duffy and Goldstein have had a chat about the prior invention (which has its own amusing twists) and we’re chuffed to say that everything’s been sorted out amicably, with Phil Goldstein’s thumbs-up for this offering.
