The Basic Smart Ass Effect:
Imagine this: you plonk a jumbo card face down on a chair, keeping its identity a secret (ooh, suspense!). A brave participant sits down on the mystery card and you present them with a deck of shuffled playing cards. You tell them they’ll rely on their subconscious to figure out the card they’re perched on. They cut the deck into two piles and toss one half away like it’s yesterday's news. Again, they repeat this cutting and tossing, until they’re down to just a handful of cards. After some deliberation, they make a final choice. As they stand and reveal the jumbo card, they’re greeted with a perfect match! (Cue the applause.)
Smart Ass Considerations:
- Perform Smart Ass close-up and surrounded (no escape routes).
- Ideal for large audiences (you'll be the star!).
- Packs small but plays big (like a magician’s TARDIS).
- It happens right in their hands (no sneaky business).
- Resets in seconds (because who likes to wait?).
- Can even perform Smart Ass naked (if you’re feeling daring).
- Suitable for all ages (even the little ones will be amazed).
- No equivocation or magician's choice nonsense.
- No switches of the jumbo card, deck, or final selection.
- Works with any borrowed chair (truly versatile!).
