Forget the standard 'pick-a-card' tricks; 'Fifth Element' delves deep into a mentalist theme, creating an experience that feels like genuine mind-reading for your spectators.
The 'Fifth Element' Revealed
Imagine this: you present a spectator with just five cards, asking them to simply *think* of one. No force, no tricky handling during the selection process. One by one, you place these cards into their hand, challenging them to 'trap' their thought-of card by covering it with their other hand the moment they feel it. The suspense builds as they try to keep up, but you're always one step ahead. With a theatrical flourish, you then reveal their exact thought-of card... from your own pocket! It's a truly baffling moment that leaves a lasting impression, proving they 'weren't quick enough' to catch you.
Beyond the Trick: Real-World Applications
'Fifth Element' isn't just a single effect; this PDF booklet contains two powerful routines that Lee Smith has honed in his professional working repertoire. Both tricks share a remarkable quality: they can be performed impromptu, with a borrowed deck of cards. This makes them incredibly versatile and perfect for any situation, from casual gatherings to formal performances. The emphasis on 'thought-of' cards elevates these routines beyond typical sleight-of-hand, making them feel more organic and impossibly magical.

Original Specs
PDF
Spectator is shown five cards and asked to think of any one of them.
The five cards are placed one at a time into the spectators hand and
he is challenged to trap his chosen card as soon as he sees it by
placing his other hand on top. The magician then proves the spectator
wasn?t quick enough by producing the thought of card from his pocket.
In this pdf booklet Lee Smith presents two of his favourite effects from
his working repertoire. There has been a lot of interest in these two
tricks which can both be done impromptu with a borrowed deck and have
a mentalist theme. Both routines seem to the spectator to have
"thought" of cards rather than the standard pick-a-card trick.
