I got a packet of Bl*** card but there is no trick i can think of to do. Are there any tricks that i can do?

Try getting Blizzard by Dean Dill.

If u know how the Senvagli Deck works, you show them a bl*** deck then print out the entire deck.

Or just but one of the Bl*** in your deck and do some colour change routine with it.

The possiblities are endless.

There is quite a few routine that uses blank card. (Blank card is not a expose, its a tool)

So, try to brainstorm abit. It get you somewhere.

For me, I will draw things on them, or have a spec sign the card for a effect, since blank face means more space.

Ya come to think of it, by mentioning blank cards it don't really expose anything. But how about other tools like double F**** cards? By mentioning that double f**** existed, it sort of reveal the secret to a few routines.

You can take up few cards from blanks deck and mixed with some assorted pack (Gaff deck). You will get a few routine out from there. Example is 3 blanks with the gaff queen(You will know what i mean if u have the gaff), etc.....

Try using some of your bl*** cards in the deck and mix them with a normal deck of card [ with the same backing of cos]. Playing around with it and you will have some ideas. Maybe a mentalism? Use your imagination.

Ah answing Ace question, no. knowing the ulitily and knowing how to play with the tool is different case.

You know a basketball exist but it doesn't mean you know how to play a basketball.

If it expose a certain effect, it means the performancer performing that effect needs practise. A double face card doesn't mean anything at all. I use double face card for some routine that I do, but I always try to make 2 principal out of the same effect to play around with the same effect but different handling.

Yup, I agreed

Yes that is true as well.

However, in this case, it is not about layman not knowing how to play with the tool. Let’s take another common magician tool as an example, the IT. Yes, knowing the IT exists doesn't mean you know how to use it. But the layman could easily guess what that tool, in this case the IT, is used for.

You know a basketball exist but it doesn't mean you know how to play a basketball. However everyone knows what the basketball is used for, it’s for playing basketball.

You know the IT exist but you don't know how to use it. But you don't need an IQ200 genius to figure out what the IT is used for, especially when they see it in a magic forum.

In most cases there are 2 parts to the secret of magic. One is the method, which you mentioned is unknown to the layman. The other is the secret tool you used. Knowing either one will expose the secret of the trick.

Eh.. guys, you all are digressing from the question already.

Anyway, I came up with a routine to utilize a blank:

-spec freely choose a card and sign on it.
-magician does a colour change to change it into a blank but the signature remains.
-magician restores the card with some "magic ink" and again the signature remains intact.
-ends clean, with only very simple sleights involved

INterested? Selling for..... $$$$

Ok, anyway, there is one mental effects called "Think" which utilize a blank deck. It's a think of any card kind of effect. Quite powerful, but much depends on the cooperation of the specs. Again, from a local shop, so the name may not br original.

Some ideas for you. See if you can come up with something similar based on what sleights you can do.

One thing you could possibly consider is doing an ACR with a blank deck.

Blizzard, as mentioned earlier, is something I would recommend too.

Check out one of John Guasterferro's mentalism effect, I can't remember the name of it, but it's on his DVD.

Thanks guy. I think i have gain some ideas using blank card to do some effects.

well b***k cards means spaces to write stuff on it. So what my friend did was to write Happy Birthday and made ppl sign on it, and did a 2CM on the birthday boy. It was a pretty cool idea.

There was once i had a friend that was leaving to study overseas and we wrote stuff on a 2-of-diamonds cos that had the most space on it and i din't want to ruin my aces cause i had other uses for them. So at the point of time i wished i had a b***k card to write all that kinda stuff. I did a ACR with that one.

Actually b***k cards are really versatile, as things can be written on it and depending on what you write, many different effects can be created. But this is assuming that it is a B***k face, and not totally b***k on both sides.

in fact, if i remember correctly, brian tudor did a card to pocket, and retrieved a b***k card from his pocket, then did a colour change to change it into the spectator's card.

I have a suggestion.
I use this with a Black Tiger deck though...
And you'll need a special shirt from Flesh-imp.
Their outlets are at Wisma, Hereen and Plaza Singapura.

If you can't find a white/black shirt with the Bicycle logo in front,
Ask for Nicolas(boss) and tell him Reuben referred you to get the "7 of spades" trickshirt.

It cost about...
...
I can't remember but I think it was $30?

Anyways,
The effect's like this.
Will not expose or mention any technique,
but you can probably work it into your routine.

-Spectator "freely" chooses a card
-Show the card openly to the spectator and place it on his right hand faced down.
-Ask the spectator to hold a part of your shirt (rolled up corner of shirt)
-Patter, wave your hand, close your eyes, any presentation...
-Flip over his card on her hand - It's a Blank Card
-Ask her to unroll the part of your shirt she was holding on...
-It's her card. Printed. Examinable etc etc...

hope this helps :)

The extent of how your blank card can work...
It huge.
Seriously it has alot of potential as people aren't used to seeing blank cards.
Especially when combined with colour changes or a signed back...

once upon a time there live a man, named Iwantmore, do DL a card with the Bl*** card, point at the card(let said we used 4 of diamond, he had everything in live, Physical; Intellectual; Enjoyment & $, he was happy. Place them back to the pack of card do a square. But one night as he was called by God, God total him everything he had belong to God, and now God wanted them black, and yes, it is gone, show the bl*** card. :lol:

O, yes when i do this routain during my community service in Ang Mo Kio Community Home, was a strong impact to many. They start think of life.... :P

O it was my little(litter) suggestion. B)

wow i like this patter. If you don't mind, can i use this patter? Will target at my Christian friends :lol:

Maybe can also use it on people who have '5Cs'. Use 5 of spades for this. Tell them not to be so greedy otherwise God will take away your credit card, condo etc hahaha sorry if i got carried away :lol:

Thanks, M.A.D. I like that idea.

sean, yes why not i will change it into this patten.

joeltay81, thanks let do it.

I always wanted that T-shirt,but it is always out of stock =(
