“Open Mic” is an examination of time-tested open handling and discrepancy based forces that can be implemented anytime, anywhere with any deck of cards. The routine provided utilizes 6 progressive effects that involve named cards and spectator-driven choices, concluding with a thought-of card revelation. Even intrusive spectators can be given the opportunity to shuffle the cards throughout the routine.
This project is perfect as a springboard for intermediate/beginners in card magic but it also serves as a reminder to the working professional that simple and open approaches can be powerful.

The KICKER SWITCH
Five cards are dealt to reveal all of the Aces and a King of Diamonds kicker.
The performer places one of the cards face down on the surface and invites the participant to determine the card using intuition alone… No matter which card they name, the performer is in control of two definite outcomes – it will either always be the named card, or never be the named card.

Reveal Thoughts IN BLOOD
A card is selected, memorized, and lost in the pack. The magician reveals the wrong card, appearing to have failed miserably. The magician can then use a knife or the card to give himself a cut. When the blood is dripped onto the card, an eerie revelation forms in the liquid.
