Exo Card Ideas

[Gizmo199]

These are some Ideas, that I had as an idea that Exo can sell on their site, like T11 and E. Of corse the cards are sold in the special exo card designs .

Fan Force

Alright, we here on exo should develope a way to force a card on a spectator without a forcing deck. Like, you fan the cards out, and they pick out any card, but what they don't realize is that you've actually forced it on them. Its like a free choice, but somehow, slight of hand, mabey a gimmick, they choose a card that was forced on them. Not like little symbols on the back of the card either, but a full on free choice thing, not like classic force either, as legit as possible (they think). I have been toying with this Idea for a while, and I can't come up with much, except one thing. If anyone knows of how to do this and it has already been invented, I'd like to know, but if it hasn't, we should definetely come up with a method. If it involves a gimmick, we could make the gimmick for the exo cards that are in the process of being made, and have T11 and E and all those other sites beat...

so... description/effect:
magician fans out some cards, and shows them to the spectator, and they are all different. then he puts the fan down to where the backs are up, and the spectator picks any card. Then the magician does some crazy trick, and they are amazed.

The only Idea I have on how to do this is:
Its like a Invisible deck, except the fronts of the cards are sticky. So you have 26 cards nice and smooth, but behind them (hiddden) are all like 10H or something, so nomater what they pick it will be the 10H because its the only cards on top, but it does have flaws, especially if you get those 'I'll show you magic' and pick the card under the special thing...but its the only thing I've been able to come up with.

Amazing Pip Transfer

This could be like an exo version of E's moving pips, or T11's Distortion. Its kinda original, but here it is.

What you do is the spectator picks any card (with the nifty fan force above,lol. or any force) and they look and show it around. then you get the another spectator to pick a card (again force). Now Spec one has the 4 of Spades, and Spec 2 the 5 of spades. next what the magician does is take the cards from them. First he holds the 5 of spades higher from the 4, and he starts kinda shaking the card down, towards the 4. all the sudden you see the middle pip of the 5 start to come off, and fall down the card. Then the pip completely falls off the 5 and lands on the 4. Then you hand it back for them to keep. (you'd have to do some switching, but thats not a problem.) and when the pip falls its all crooked of corse, but the magician just kinda stares at it, and it corrects itself, then you give it to them to keep (totally different cards of corse). in the end its totaly inspectable.

but thats just an Idea that I had for a pip miracle.lol. I'm sure people would freak out.

Vampire Deck

You take a mirror, and a borowed deck, and hold the deck up to the mirror, and the deck has no reflection.

Simple as that, of corse gimmicked mirror, but I don't have a clue as to how to do it.

Flick thru window

THis is just another card thru window, but here it is. You hold a signed card up to a window, and flick the card and visibly the card goes strait thru the glass. Next the magician takes the card from the other side, and says "alright I'll show you how its done, I'll just slow it down" and then the magician throws it at the window,but this time the card is stuck in the middle of the glass, one half on one side, and half on the other. Of corse no split in the glass. the magician then visibly takes the card out of the window, and lets them have it.

NO CLUE on how to do it. but its just an Idea.

WEll anyway, these are just some Ideas I have thought up when I was bored, and if any of these have already been invented, then I'd like to know...so I can see them.lol. If you notice all these tricks are VERY visible tricks, mind tricks that'll probably if not scare your spectators, at least leave them amazed. Hope I get some feed back, I would like to see what other people take on these tricks.

Well, I really like the ideas, fairly original and creative. However the the mechanisms needed to perform some of those tricks are way beyond what anyone here is capable of creating...and unfourtnatley, exomagic is a fairly long way away from creating our own cards, let alone a whole array of items. The input is great, as for how to do any of the things you talked about, I have no idea's popping into my head. I'll give it a think though...

I like your idea for a fan force deck. Because I can create one

All you need is laquering spray or any roughing spray. Rough the fronts of your duplicate 10's and the backs of your indifferent cards. That way they "stick"

When you fan them they can only pick the 10's or any card. Plus you could just make these with any old deck of cards. No special designs are needed. Now realize though, some of these tricks may sound dumb, and they can't be accomplished, but remember, the effect doesnt have to happen, it only has to seem like it happens. This is kinda like levitating, or splitting your body in half.

A pip falling off...Thatt's damn cool.

[Gizmo199]

WEll I have Ideas on how to do them all, except the vampire deck, so I'd just scratch that one, the only reason I liked it is because you could do so much with it, like tell the spectator to pick any card, and go through the cards and show them in a mirror, only to realize the card they chose doesn't have a reflection. THe flick thru window is alright, its just where half the card is poking out. thats the only thing I realy like about that trick, but I thought, hey I'll put the other thing on there.

Yea I know, like the pip falling off, the Idea I had for it, the pips dont come off at all, they just move from the back to the front, and visaversa. THe pips would be on some of that cellophane type thing, and just move completely around from the front to the back on the 5, and come from the back to the front on the four, but It would take some time to get it to look right, so that no one could see it.

true, but its just an idea, at least if exo can't use them, we can.lol.


A pip falling off...Thatt's damn cool.
yea, it be a neat effect.lol. what would be cool too is if you made them pick the 5 of clubs, and the other the 2 of clubs, and take the middle pip off the 3 and put it on the four, and change the two like that. Kinda like cyrils predicition. and you get it wrong, so you fix it.


well thanks for the input

There is a thing called the fan force.... i have read about it in some book.. Maybe expert card tecnique.... not sure though. that used a step in the deck before fanning, which would make the force card a little more exposed in the middle of the fan, then slight addjustments would make the spec's finger hit the card

[Gizmo199]

ah, I see.

[Pavan R]

Wow flick through window seems fine-magnetic card? You have two halfs, always magentized at the ends. Force the magnetized card. Don't let the spec. take it, just show it.

Then secretly palm half the card and control the other half to the bottom, ask the spec. to hold the deck against a window (without looking at the bottom) and to spread out the cards (like Kaos but the card will be stuck halfway) and the magnetized cards (you palm the original half) and the 2 halfs stick together from opposite sides of the window. And keep in mind if you have them sign it, half their signature is on one side and the other half is on the other side.

Lol-I demand props for this trick if it ever becomes big. Just kidding we'll share this if it goes pro Gizmo.

Cleanup would require:

a) a window such as a car window in which you drag the card out, one hand on both sides and then you click them together when they come off.

Only problem would be letting them feel the card a lot.

You could also probably drag the card along the window like the perfect penetration pen.

Vampire Deck?-You have a switch on the back that when it is clicked, another glass frame comes infront of the mirror, stopping all reflections, and when it is unclicked all reflections show.

Something like that...

Oh yeah-I actually tried the pip falling off trick (sorry if I got to it before you) but people look and say it was a different card. Well people I tried it on saw it as OK.

They insisted on signing the card (which could be done), but the extra pip would always have to be on the card and people could figure that out. While a switch does save this problem, they think it is a different card...Sorry...

[Gizmo199]

I like it, and for a performance you could actually do Kaos, and say "alright I'll show you how I did it, when you put the cards to the window I actually pulled it through as you can see, and show them the piece coming through.

Cool ideas, i like the pip transfer and the window thing but the fan fan force in my opinion it's kinda wierd,for me instead of buying a whole deck for a force , i just use any of the 100 force existing...thats my opinion

"Fan Force" is not an original idea. It's being marketed as the Mirage Deck if I'm not mistaken.
