Damsel Cull Force Version 4

/

Griffin Watt sent me along this trick that is based on Tomas Blomberg’s version of the Damsel Cull Force. It’s interesting because you’re doing the force with the deck face-up. There is a fairness to this in that they see exactly where they’re placing the card in the deck so you can’t seemingly change anything around, despite the fact there is still a free choice to come on where the predicted card will be relative to the card they inserted.

Does that make sense?

No.

But you’ll understand when you watch the video.

An idea of Michael Weber’s is to show them part of the prediction before you allow them to put the card into the deck.

So you write this…

But before they insert the card, you only show them this…

Thanks to Griffin for sharing this handling. I think there is potential to build upon this and offer even more choices to the spectator. I have some ideas. I’ll let you know if those experiments bear any fruit.
