This is Ian Adair’s version of the Last Card mystery, in which the spectator chooses one of 9 random cards from a deck, and it is the predicted card. We added a mechanical stand to the original concept for the performance, and the props provide an attractive presentation for a reasonably large audience.
Effect: A deck of cards is examined and shuffled. The performer introduces a display stand with three differently colored panels. Nine cards are removed from the shuffled and examined deck and cut into the three panels.
Spectators freely choose two of the panels to be eliminated, and the six cards attached to them are discarded. The three cards on the remaining panel are redistributed to each panel, and two are eliminated again.
The last remaining card is the selected card.
Finally, the three panels are turned over. They form a giant (A4-sized) replica of the selected card.
Attractively made of wood, laminated cardboard, and metal, and comes with the required cards and illustrated instructions with photos.
