Controversy Is Entertainment - Talk Radio On Broadway
Talk Radio is a play about a late night radio host, Barry Champlain, who has always been controversial and who is also about to expand his popular talk show from Cleveland to move it to a broader nationwide audience. One night, he faces several callers who make him reveal his true feelings live on air. He is known to be abusive and insulting to his callers, and that is what makes him so popular. There are callers waiting in line to speak to him on air because they want to hear his scathing words and insults. He invites listeners to call him and to tell him what is troubling them, and then he deals with them in a cold and derisive careless manner.
The magician then turns around and holds each matchbook to his forehead. By the power of his mind, he is able to tell the spectator which matchbook he tore the match from! Everything can be examined.
Ask him to place his pile back on the table. Then place spectator's pile in between the other two piles i.e. in the middle. Hold the pile of fifteen cards face down and deal five cards on to the table, one at a time, in a row, from left to right.
Again working from left to right, deal another card on top of each of the five cards. Then deal a third card on top of each of the five cards.
Ask the spectator to look at the cards in each pile and tell you which pile his card is in. Once he has found it, ask him to place the pile in his pocket.
Tell him that he mentally selected a card and there is no possible way that you could know which card he is thinking of. Rub your fingers together and then touch his brow with your first finger. Tell him you are trying to pick up a mental vibration about his card.
Reach into his pocket and pull out one car without looking at it. Toss it on to the table and tell him that is not his card. Reach into his pocket again and pull out another card. Throw that card on to the table and say it is not his card. Finally, pull out the third card and tell him "This is the card you are thinking of". You are correct.
So, how do you know which card is his? It is simple. The card he is thinking about will always be the middle card of the three! No matter what card he picks, it will always be the middle card. That is the secret!
Knowing this, you can pull out the cards on either side of it first and then pull out the middle card for your big finish.
You should perform this trick at a quick pace, so the spectator does not have any time to work out the card positions in his mind
