CARD MAGIC

This effect is pure genius! Rodger Lovins has done it again! Everyone is talking about his Talking Deck! One spectator chooses a card from a shuffled deck of playing cards, and a second spectator reveals the chosen card in a very unusual way. Now this is MAGIC!
The magician has someone choose a playing card, look at it and place it into their pocket. He then tells them to concentrate on their card. He holds his hands up to the their head in an effort to transfer the thought of card into the mind of a second spectator. When the magician holds his hands up to the second spectator’s head, that spectator magically reveals the name of the chosen card, even though everyone else in the room hears nothing or sees no visible signing of any kind. Somehow the chosen card seems to be revealed to the second spectator. Could it be a Talking Deck? You will leave them wondering, HOW DID HE DO THAT!
YOU WILL USE THIS EFFECT!
This effect uses an electronic device and comes complete with gimmick, batteries and instruction booklet.
Reviews
"Everything Rodger comes up with is direct, to the point, magic. The Talking Deck is no exception. Plus, it’s a really funny idea." - Mac King
"This effect is pure genius in its presentation! A novel approach to hide the gimmick is another great idea from Rodger Lovins! The viewers never even suspect the method!" - John Rogers
"Every time Rodger Lovins puts out a new effect, it is a must have for me. The Talking Deck is one trick that I will put in my show. I love this trick. It could be his best trick yet!" - Stephen Bargatze

In this effect by Trevor Duffy deck of cards is set down on a table. A spectator is asked simply to think of any playing card, and the magician says he will name it.
After a moment of thought, the performer declares, "The name of your card is Phil! You know, short for Phillip!" The audience is understandably a bit surprised. The pack is removed and then shown to have different names printed boldly on the back of every card. When the deck is turned face up and the card named by the spectator is found, it is the one and only card named Phil!
(Not Rough and Smooth!)
Historical Note: The basic plot of this routine goes back to Fred Lowe's "Christened Reverse." Over the past few decades, many methods have been devised. It turns out that Trevor Duffy reinvented a version that was created by Phil Goldstein in the early 1980s, entitled "Final Fred." That routine had its debut in a lecture at the 1985 FISM convention in Madrid. The issue of this prior invention has now been discussed by Duffy and Goldstein, along with the ironic coincidence of its title, and we are pleased that an equitable arrangement has been made, and this item is being marketed with Phil Goldstein's approval.
