French Postcards by Chris Philpott

\n

Chris Philpottowe Karty Francuskie to ekscytująca wersja Paul Curry's Out of this World. "Brilijentna wersja Out of this World! Gdy Chris to zrobił dla mnie, miałem chwilę 'Dlaczego nie zauważyłem tego?'. Présentacyjne złoto!" - Steve Valentine

• Aby przetestować teoria, pokazujesz 12 pozytywnych zdjęć i 12 francuskich kart (to stare nudy – eleganckie, brązowe, górna części ciała). Karty są mieszane; potem bez spojrzenia, widz sortuje je, czując, czy karta ma seksualną energię. Wyniki są idealne!
\n
• Efekt zawiera 24 zrobione ręcznie kartek, instrukcje pisemne i linki do wideo instrukcji, aktualizacji, dodatkowych efektów oraz bonusowy skrypt komediowy od profesjonalnego komika i magiksa, Bruce Golda. Zawiera również Jon Armstrong's "Out of this Blah Blah Blah," najczystszą wersję obsługi OOTW!
\n
• "Ostatecznie, powód do wykonania Out of this World, który utrzymuje uwagę od początku do końca. Dzięki Karty Francuskie, nigdy nie zapomną was!" - Steve Valentine
\n

\n

Paul Curry's Out of this World (wydany w 1942 roku) jest postrzegany jako jedno z największych karty w historii magii. Plotka jest jasna i wydaje się niemożliwa: widz używa intuicji, aby rozdzielić karty czerwone od czarne. Jest potężny, inspirujący i łatwy do wykonania...

\n

Ale to nie jest idealne efekt. Co dokładnie widzi publiczność podczas wykonywania? Widzą kogoś sortujące 52 kartki na dwie pudełka. To nie jest magia, tylko archiwizacja!

\n

Choć istnieje wiele wariantów metodologicznych Out of this World, większość nie rozwiązuje podstawowego problemu – jak zrobić to zabawne? Jak dodać emocjonalne stresy do osoby sortującej karty, próbującej oddzielić czerwone od czarnej?

\n

Przez przesunięcie od kart do Kарт Francuskie efekt osiąga kilka ważnych rzeczy:

\n

\n
• Wiecej zabawy. W "Kart Francuskie" widz nie czuje, czy karta jest czerwona czy czarna - on czuje, czy karta wydaje się seksualna lub nie. To automatycznie staje się bardziej interesujące, atrakcyjne i żartobliwe. Nie musisz mówić ani jednego żartu – sama sytuacja jest zabawna (ale jeśli chcesz powiedzieć żarty, skrypt od Bruce Golda jest świetny).
\n
• Wiecej autentyczności. Ponieważ podstawa efektu opiera się na rzeczywistej teorii, sprawia to, że efekt wydaje się bardziej wiarygodny i aktualny - ten efekt może spowodować łzy jak również śmiech (można zobaczyć oba w trailerze).
\n
• Lepsza widoczność: karty są większe i łatwiejsze do zauważenia przez publiczność. Dwa rodzaje kart są ustawione w dwóch różnych orientacjach (pionowo i poziomo) oraz skierowane ku dwóm różnym paletom barw (czerwone na jednym, niebieskie na drugim), co dalej zwiększa widoczność. Karty są bardziej atrakcyjne niż karty do gry.
\n
• Wiecej sztuczności. Rozmiar kart wydaje się uniemożliwiać małże, zamykając jedno możliwe wyjaśnienie, jak to jest wykonane.
\n

\n

Ale mimo wszystkich tych zalet, Karty Francuskie nie są trudniejsze do wykonania niż oryginalny efekt.\n\n

Oryginalny opis angielski

Chris Philpott's French Postcards is a wildly entertaining version of Paul Curry's Out of this World.

"A brilliant Out of this World experience! When Chris did this for me I had one of those "*^%$@ why didn't I think of that?" moments. Presentational gold!" -Steve Valentine

A study out of Cornell University recently made headlines: subjects could predict if a picture was going to appear on the left or right side of a computer screen but only when they used erotic pictures!

To test the theory, you show 12 postcards from various destinations and 12 French postcards (these are vintage nudes -- elegant, sepia-toned, upper-body nudity). The cards are mixed; then, without looking, a spectator sorts them by sensing if a card has sexual energy or not. The results are perfect!

The effect includes 24 custom-made postcards, written instructions and links to video instructions, updates, extra effects and a bonus comedy script by professional comic and magician, Bruce Gold. Also includes Jon Armstrong's "Out of this Blah Blah Blah," the cleanest OOTW handling ever!

"Finally, a reason to do Out of this World, that holds attention from start to finish. With French Postcards, they'll never forget you!"
-Steve Valentine

French Postcards Key Selling Points:

Paul Curry's Out of this World (released in 1942) is justly revered as one of the greatest of all card tricks. The plot is clear and seems utterly impossible: a spectator uses intuition to separate the red cards from the black cards. It's powerful, empowering and easy-to-do...

And yet, it is far from a perfect trick. What exactly does the audience see in performance? They see someone sort 52 pieces of paper into two piles. That's not magic, it's filing!

While there have been hundreds of methodological variations on OOTW, most don't address the core problem of making it entertaining: how do you add emotional stakes to someone dealing out cards, trying to separate red from black?

By moving from playing cards, French Postcards accomplishes several important things:

- More entertaining. In "French Postcards", the volunteer is not sensing if the card is red or black - he or she is sensing if it feels sexy or not. Instantly, this becomes more interesting, engaging and funnier. You don't have to tell a single joke - the situation itself is funny (but if you want to tell jokes, the script by Bruce Gold is excellent).

- More real. Because the premise is based on a real study, it makes the effect more believable and relevant - this is an effect that can make spectator's cry as well as laugh (you can see both in the trailer).

- Better visibility: the postcards are larger and can be seen better by your audience. The two types of cards are oriented two different ways (vertically and horizontally) and veer toward two different color-palettes (reddish versus blue-ish) to further increase visibility. The cards are visually more interesting than playing cards.

- More fooling. The size of the postcards seems to preclude sleight of hand, cutting off one possible explanation for how the trick is done.

And yet with all these advantages, French Postcards is no more difficult than the original effect.

- Bill Cushman

"French Postcards has a great hook, a justification, a clever prop, and an intriguing involvement of the spectator."

"The best version of the best card effect ever!"
- Rob Maron
