Entourage - SECRET REVEALED

http://www.gordonbean.com/entourage.htm

1. See Video carefully.

2. Need:

~~~~~~~~

4 RED BACK JOKERS

1 DOUBLE FACE CARD - QUEEN OF HEARTS & QUEEN OF DIAMOND (on one side) & JOKER (on

other side)

1 DOUBLE FACE CARD - QUEEN OF SPADES & QUEEN OF CLUBS (on one side) & JOKER (on

other side)

NOTE: The above TWO double faced cards are exactly similat to the cards provided

with the "Twister Sisters" effect or with the good old "B'Wave" effect.

3. No Forcing of any of the QUEENS. Free Choice.

4. See video and carry out the performance as per the demo video. At the end do a 2

card monte effect with the doubleface card to get the desired out come.

I don't use the supplied patter because it's a little too cheesy for me but the

trick itself kills. It's very fair. The thing I have been doing to make it stronger

is: once they get down to 1 face down card, I give them a chance to change their

mind and think of a different queen. Then, once they are satisfied with a queen, I

give them a chance to switch the remaining face down card for one of the cards they

have already removed. Doesn't seem like much but those two additions really help. It

stresses the fairness of the selection procedure without actually saying so, and it

increases the impossibility factor at the end when they realize that you gave them a

chance to change their mind along the way.

GOOD SUGGESION

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also, try this, instead of getting them to name a queen at the start, get them to

THINK of a queen at the start, and get them to name it at the end after they have

eliminated the other three cards. It becomes even more impossible, as then there is

absolutely no chance in the spectators mind you could have switched etc or any funny

business!

Entourage has become a personal favorite for me. I'm not really a packet trick guy,

but this one has brought me back. It's easy to do, has no real sleight of hand

involved, and has less than a second to reset, which for me means instant reset. It

looks as clean as possible and really is as clean as it gets. The other thing that I

like about it is that if a spectator sees it twice, they will never see a difference

in the handling. The wording doesn't change, the movements of the cards don't

change, everything looks the same in their eyes.

I am actually planning to make a set of cards themed for Christmas, and even if I

were to never use the supplied cards, the only proper thing is to buy the original

before making my custom set. Thank you Gordon for another great trick!
