Anyhow, all you need to know is the selected card. Your direction as you lift your thumb up and leave it on the table. Another way to peek it to as you place the card to the table, you hook your thumb underneath it as though doing the move to show both sides of a card the same. Once done, place the card in their hand and return to the reading. There is not much to this, and done in a nonchalant manner, will arouse little suspicion. Indicate for the spectator to place their hand palm up and as you do, tilt the card towards you and simply peek it. Have the deck cut and one card dealt face down into your hand. The method that I use most often is a peek. You should be able to tell what the face down card is using the face up one, as both fall next to each other in the stack. Begin by performing a regular reading with the face up card, before going into the reverse using the face down card. Another way to do it using the stack is to have the spectator cut, then deal one card face up, and the next face down. As you square up the cards, peek the bottom card and this will tell you the face down card. Have the spectator cut the cards anywhere and to deal a card face down onto the table. Once the deck is in a stack, remove it and perform a sly shuffle, retaining the order of the deck. I think that the simplest is to set the deck up in a cyclical stack, so that when a card is selected, you can tell 6 Learning the selected Tarot There are many ways in which you can do this, but here are a few different ways. The first step is to have a tarot card chosen supposedly sight unseen, but you need to know what it is. Although this sounds a bit odd, let’s take a look at how to start the reverse reading and set it up. What is reverse reading? Reverse reading in its simplest form is to have a tarot card selected sight unseen and you peek it, before leading the spectator towards it and making it appear as though they chose it themselves. There is also a lot of versatility within the concept and can be applied towards effects within mentalism itself. While it’s not an actual full system, it can be used before going into a full reading of any kind. REVERSE READING This first chapter revolves around a new idea that can be used alongside normal readings, whether you do tarot reading or cold reading. Except, of course, the trick that lies in Roger Curzon's 1992 unpublished notes, but that's another story. (See, that's the best I could come up with.) And finally, I feel like this goes without saying, but all the effects within here are of independent creation. One thing that really annoys about mentalism books is spelling errors, so hopefully there won't be any of them in this boock. This is my small offering to the mentalism community, and hopefully you can get something worthwhile from it. A friend of mine Steve Brownley suggested I should write up some of my effects, so I did. The idea for this book came about while at the Magick Lounge in Sheffield. And that although I've sat here for 15 minutes trying to think of something witty and clever to write here, my mind is blank.
