Description & Effect
Unleash an Impossible Card Prediction with 'Route 1' by David Forrest
Prepare to defy expectations and astound audiences with 'Route 1,' David Forrest's ingenious card effect that redefines what's possible in mentalism. Imagine this: you begin by casually displaying a blue-backed deck, placing it aside for later. You then proceed to dazzle with your favorite card routines using a standard red deck. As your performance nears its climax, you propose a truly audacious experiment – a long shot that promises unforgettable magic. You ask a spectator to simply 'THINK of ANY CARD.' No force, no suggestion, just their free choice. Then, you request they 'THINK of ANY NUMBER' between 1 and 52. These choices are openly written on a Joker and left in full view, eliminating any doubt.
The Miracle Unfolds, Effortlessly
With their chosen card and number recorded, you suggest you'll expertly shuffle and cut to place their card at their exact thought-of position. Your audience might seem unimpressed, perhaps skeptical. This is when the real magic begins. You remind them of the blue deck, placed aside moments ago. This deck is retrieved and handed to a spectator. She counts cards face up onto the table, one by one, stopping at their chosen number. The tension builds. Everyone holds their breath. As the final card is revealed and turned over... it's their thought-of card! The impact is immediate, unforgettable, and utterly bewildering.
A 'Self-Working' Revolution in Card Magic
The truly incredible news is that 'Route 1' is almost entirely 'SELF-WORKING'! David Forrest has engineered a deceptive method that eliminates common pitfalls and complexities. Forget memorized decks – there's no memory work whatsoever. Dismiss the need for indexes or complex palming; no cards are added or removed from the deck surreptitiously. The spectator genuinely counts through the cards themselves, adding to the impossibility. The deck used is normal, free from duplicates or gaffed cards (beyond the single, ingenious gimmick you'll construct). There are no 'near misses' – this is a 100% guaranteed, surefire hit, every single time.

Original Specs
David Forrest – Route 1
At the beginning of your card set you display a blue backed deck and place it into your pocket for later. You then remove a red deck and blow everyone away with all your hottest stuff. Just before you end you suggest an experiment, a long shot if you will. Something that, should it work will guarantee many a sleepless night. You ask a spectator to just THINK of ANY CARD. Then you ask them to just THINK of ANY NUMBER between 1 and 52. The choices are written on the back of a Joker and left in plain view for all to see. You propose that you will, through shuffling and cutting, position the card they thought of in the exact position they named. They seem unimpressed. That's when you ask them to think back to the blue deck from way back before any of this began. That deck is removed and handed to a spectator. She counts cards to the table face up, one for each number. Everyone holds their breath as the last card is reached. When it is turned over…it is the thought of card!
