Mark Elsdon
THE INEVITABLE
£10
THE BLURB:
Now available for the first time is The Inevitable and it is
one of the strongest pieces I have ever created. I have used
it as the closer at every single private and house party I
have worked for the last couple of years and it brings the
house down (pardon the pun).
The only other performer who has known about it is Paul
Vigil and this is what he has to say about it:
"I call this "My friend Mark Elsdon's ACAA...," but he calls
it The Inevitable; and it's one of the strongest and most
clever uses of The Invisible Deck I've ever witnessed. It
went directly into my performance repertoire and can quickly
become the perfect closer (or encore piece) for you too!"
As Paul says above, it uses an Invisible Deck, and I
honestly believe it is one of the most powerful uses of the
ID that you could possibly perform. The ID however is just
one part of it - there is so much more to it than that. It
is and it isn't an Any Card At, it is and it isn't a
Prediction, it is and it isn't a Revelation.
Playable as the most impossible magic or the most incredible
mentalism, The Inevitable is as close to a miracle as a card
trick can probably be to a layman.
It is available exclusively from me and the price is £10.
MY COMMENTS:
Even if you don't do effects with playing cards, you may
want to consider this one. It is incredibly strong. It's
easy to do and, as the blurb suggests, uses an Invisible
Deck. In fact, if you know how to use an ID, then I can say
that's the most technically difficult part of the routine.
The plot and the presentation are really what you are buying
and so, in fairness, I'm not going to reveal it here.
However, I can say that this can play as a very strong
coincidence, an incredible prediction, and/or a powerful
display of mind control. As Elsdon also relates in the
manuscript, the principles are old and, after developing
this, discovered a few precursors to this, including one by
Francis Carlyle.
It involves three decks of cards, which you have to supply
yourself. You'll need a red-backed ID, a blue-backed deck,
and a green-backed deck (or any other third different
color/back design). There is some prep work involving a
Sharpie and the ID that should take about 30 minutes or less
to do. Then, to prepare for the routine, each deck is
placed in a separate numbered envelope and all three
envelopes are in a bigger one.
In performance, the one envelope is brought forward and
opened. The performer can have someone else do that. The
three envelopes inside are taken by three different
participants. The performer doesn't need to touch the
envelopes at all. From this point, the envelopes are opened
and the participants are asked to follow simple instructions
as the performer shows the miracles happen. There are two
strong moments of amazement, with the second being the
strongest.
Also, the blurb specifically states, "The Inevitable is as
close to a miracle as a card trick can probably be to a
layman." In other words, this is one of those effects that
plays much stronger than it reads. Some performers may read
this, see how it easy it is to do technically, and think
that many laymen will figure out it and see through this,
like they may have. To me, if one does that, that'll be
great. That means that there'll be less performing this and
when that person sees someone else fry an audience with it,
he'll be envious.
This is a six page PDF available at the more than fair price
of �10. If you're interested in doing any kind of playing
card mentalism/magic at all, this is one easy-to-do,
powerful showpiece that you should definitely not miss.
