Internet History by Tim Baldwin

We always seem to be looking at our devices- our smartphones, our

computers, our tablets. Yet what each of us uses these devices for is unique. Nobody else has the exact same browsing history as

you or uses the internet to do the same activities in the same order as you

do. And now, you can use a spectator’s random internet history to perform an amazing card trick!



Here's what happens:



A spectator is invited to genuinely shuffle a deck of cards. The magician

hands the spectator a random pile of cards- 12, 14, 17, etc, and the rest

of the deck is placed aside. This packet is shuffled further by the

spectator. The magician introduces 6 categories- each one representing a

common internet activity. Among these are Social Media, News, Sports,

Games, E-mail, and Shopping. The magician explains that these are among the

most common things people use their devices for. Each of these 6 activities

has 2 unique questions attached to it- each question with several different

options for the spectator to freely answer from. The magician turns their

back or leaves the room entirely. The spectator mixes up their packet of

cards even further before selecting one, remembering it, and losing it in

the packet. The spectator then freely selects any 3 of the 6 activities and

answers the accompanying questions, which involves moving a card from the

top of their packet to the bottom, one card for each letter in their

freely-chosen answer. If they want, they can even pull out their actual

phone and look through their real internet history to decide which moves to

make! When these 3 activities are complete, the cards are mixed one last

time and placed on the table. Only now does the magician turn and face the

spectator again. Despite all of the free selections from the spectator and the

random mixing of the cards, the magician is, without touching the cards,

able to "hack" the spectator's "internet history" and reveal their

thought-of card!



There is no force, no crimping, no duplicate cards, and the magician never

sees the face of the cards! The deck is a complete 52-card deck and does

all the work, and can even be used to perform other tricks both before and

after this effect! You are also free to customize the internet activities

to whatever you want them to be!
