Description & Effect
Experience an Impossible Coincidence
Imagine a card trick where the spectator does all the work, yet you maintain absolute, undeniable control over the outcome. With 'Disposition' by Franco Pascali, you'll present an impossible coincidence using nothing more than an ordinary deck of cards. The magic truly happens in their hands and their mind. Your audience will shuffle the cards repeatedly, making a series of completely free decisions. They'll choose which piles to shuffle, which to turn face up, and which to keep face down – they can even change their mind mid-process. Despite this seemingly chaotic and unconstrained freedom, the final cards left face up will mysteriously align with your pre-determined intention. It's an illusion of choice so profound, it will leave even the most discerning skeptics baffled and amazed.
Your Imagination, The Only Limit to the Reveal
What truly sets 'Disposition' apart is its incredible versatility. The face-up cards aren't just random; they are precisely what you want them to be. This isn't just a card trick; it's a platform for infinite creativity. Picture this: the face-up cards could reveal a spectator's phone number, the serial number from a borrowed dollar bill, or even an entire suit in perfect numerical order, with their chosen card being the only one missing. The power to customize the revelation means every performance can be unique, tailored to your audience and personal style. This flexibility ensures that 'Disposition' will become a staple in your repertoire, offering endless possibilities for engaging and memorable magic.

Original Specs
It’s an impossible coincidence -- with an ordinary deck.
The cards are shuffled over, and over, and over again -- and each time, the spectator makes a series of free decisions. They choose everything -- which pile to shuffle into which pile, which pile to turn face up, and which pile to turn face down. They can even change their mind.
Despite all of that - despite EVERY decision - the only cards face up in the end are under YOUR complete control. The face up cards can be anything you want - their phone number, the serial number on a dollar bill, or every card in their chosen suit in order except for their selection. The possibilities are endless.
