Recalculations

Recalculations are necessary in order to, for example, when the readings cards one viewers have seen every single card, but in fact there were a few cards less, that is the purpose of recalculations is hiding a certain number of cards from the audience.

Conversion Elmsleya. Take any 4 card. The second and third cards turn face up, top and bottom cards are face down. Cards should be ground, keep it in the left hand as shown in the photograph. A special role is played by the thumb, so pay attention to his position.

Move the right hand to left hand. At this point, there are no cards in his right hand. You think: "once" and tightens the top card of your right thumb. Again, move the right hand to left hand. At the same time the thumb of the left hand put on the left long edge of the pack of three cards. Between the fingers of his left hand and the bottom of the card package there is friction, because of what the card is retained in the lower left hand and two cards that lie above it (face up), pushed the thumb of his left hand and simultaneously move in the right hand. Viewers believe that one card is moved.

Right hand puts being in her card under the card, which are in the left hand. Fingertips of his left hand tighten the card in the palm of his left hand and leave it there. At the same time grab the right card hand that face the left thumb, counting: "two".

It is essential that the cards that have been taken in the right hand, in the pronunciation of "two", were spread like a fan. How far apart the card in the fan depends on the focus that you perform. But whatever the focus was not, it is necessary to push the card, otherwise the conversion effect will be lost. Then again, move the right hand to the left side where the left thumb moves to the right side of the top two cards that are in the left arm, thinking: "three". This card will go to the two cards that are in the right hand. Finally, the right hand once again moves to the left side and the last card of the left hand goes on top of the cards that are in the right hand.

As a result, despite the fact that the two cards are face up, the viewer only one seen lying face up card.

Note. Two cards are turned face-up, in order to better understand the activities and training, in fact in the performance of tricks in the presence of spectators cards lie as required to perform tricks. This adjustment allows you to hide and a greater number of cards. For example, you want to count the 5 cards as 4 cards, with two cards to hide, that is not to show two cards and one card 2 times to count. Maps that you want to hide, put on the third and fourth places and counting cards do so, as described above. Only one difference is that you will need to move the thumb of his left hand at the same time is not 2, and 3 cards.

 

Conversion Hammond. The aim of this conversion is that, for example, a magician counted viewers 9 cards one by one and gave the impression as if the audience saw every single card, but in fact the audience saw only 5 cards, because after starting the fifth card 4 is already reckoned cards exchanged with four cards that lie under the fifth card. This adjustment is performed as follows.

1. Capture card package top right hand, or rather the thumb on the inner side and the other fingers from the outside of the narrow side, the back side of the hand facing upward.

2. Then, with the thumb of the left hand pull the top card of the package so that the card fell to the straightened fingers of his left hand, the left back side of the hand facing down. When you move back with his left hand to the right then to pull the second card automatically enclose a card that is in his left hand under the front of the card package, which is in your right hand. This process further exchange cards is important. Pull the second, third and fourth cards in your left hand so that now on the fingers of his left hand lay 4 cards.

3. Then pull the fifth card and at the same moment the card is held in the left hand, insert a pack of cards in his right hand. To do this pull the left long edge of the package in the right hand on top of the right edge of a long package, which is in his left hand. Then put your left thumb on the left side projecting part of the package, which is in your right hand and hold it (the fifth and the rest of the maps that are under it) firmly in his left hand. At the same time, previously reckoned card, grasp and remove the front corner of the right side of the ring finger and the back right corner of the right thumb.

Speaking in other words, at a time when you pulls together a fifth card in the left hand, then pass reckoned cards from his left hand to his right hand and the cards that are in your right hand, pass in the left arm.

4. After that, you count down 4 cards that are in the right hand, the usual way for a package that is in his left hand.

5. Compliance with certain (uniform) rate at a given conversion is a critical success factor. In no event it is impossible to do so: "1-2-3-4-5 (substitution) -pauza-6-7-8-9". Rhythm should be only evenly without a pause: "1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9".

Note. This adjustment can be made both with three, five, seven, eleven and a large number of cards. The substitution takes place in the middle of the package, if 5 cards, then a third; If the card is 7, then on the fourth; If the card is 9, then the fifth card, if the card 11, then on the seventh card.
