Abstract
The invention herein disclosed is a forcing magic-trick prop system that appears to have a random, unpredictable outcome but, in fact, forces a predetermined outcome.
Claims2
A forcing magic-trick prop comprising:
- two same-size cards equally divided into tabs;
- a first card with unique symbols and opaque-colored surfaces on the front face;
- the first card has one or more symbols on selected tabs on the rear face that are identical to the same tab's symbol on the front face called the predetermined forcing tabs;
- a second card has tabs with opaque-colored surfaces on the front face that correspond with the location of the predetermined forcing tabs on the first card's front face;
- the second card is entirely opaque colored on the rear face;
- the rear face of the first card is selectively coated with adhesive on all tabs except for the one or more predetermined forcing tabs;
- the rear face of the first card is positioned over the front face of the second card so that their edges line up exactly;
- the first card and second card are pressed together such that they adhere to one another producing a single card that displays the front face of the first card and the rear face of the second card;
- and
- the first card and the second card are scored or perforated along the borders of each tab to enable easy separating of the tabs.
