RED HOT MAMA’S LIPS

Comments: "Red Hot Mama," a k a "Chicago Opener" has been variously credited to

Jim Ryan , Frank Everhart and Al Leech . Dan Fleshman added the idea of the first

selection ending up in a wallet. I have combined these routines with "Lips," an effect by

Gary Ouellet and Tony Binarelli . The result is all one could hope for from a card trick.

Effect: You spread a blue deck, first face up and then face down. Walt removes a card

and signs it, then replaces it in the deck. He taps the deck and says, "I love my card."

You spread through the deck and in the center is a card that is "blushing" (red back). You

turn it over. It' s Walt's signed card! This card is placed aside, as you turn your attention

to Vandella. "I'll do an even better trick for you. In fact, I'll guarantee it!" You remove

your wallet. "You won't even have to touch a card." You go through the deck until

Vandella tells you to stop. Show her that card and then square the deck.

"A card you are thinking of is now lost somewhere in the deck. Please blow a kiss at the

deck. Your card won't just blush like Walt’s; it will also have lips permanently embossed

on its face. If it doesn't, I will give you twenty bucks!" She blows a kiss at the deck but

when you spread it, there's no red card. Embarrassed, you say, "I don't get it! It worked

with Walt's card!" You turn over Walt's card... but it' s not Walt's card! It' s Vandella's

card with lips on the face! You look at Walt and say, "I know what you are thinking. If

that's her card, where is your card? Well, sometimes when they get embarrassed like that

they hide until they've stopped blushing." You open your wallet, unzip the compartment

and remove one blue backed card. It's Walt signed card! You thank Walt and Vandella

for their time and give the lips card to Vandella to keep as a magical souvenir.

Requirements: One blue deck, a "lips" card from the Camirand Academy or most

dealers (or draw lips with a red sharpie), a Sharpie, some cash.

Set up: Assume that the "lips" card is the two of hearts. This card is at the face of the

deck, with the blue two of hearts right above it. The bills are folded in half in your left

front pants pocket

Method and performance: Spread the deck face down in your hands, taking care not to

reveal the red card at the bottom. Tilt your hands up so the spread faces the audience,

covering the "lips" card with your left hand. Bring your hands back down and ask Walt

to remove a card and sign it. Begin to Hindu shuffle until Walt says stop. Have him

replace his card on the left-hand packet then drop the right hand packet on top. This

places the red "lips" card above the selection. Square the deck. Have Walt tap the deck

and say, "I love my card!" Spread through the deck until you come to the red card and

cut it to the top (this brings the blue two of hearts to the face). Double turnover ,

showing Walt's signed card. Turn the double face down, and then slide the single red

card onto the table. Walt's card is now on top of the deck.

Turn to Vandella, top palming Walt's card as you say, "You're thinking, 'Sure, you can

fool him , but let's see you try that on the superior female intellect.' Well, I'll make you a

wager.” Reach into your RIGHT pocket as if going for the money, loading the palmed

card. Act confused. Remove your hand, show it empty and take the deck in the right

hand. Show the left hand empty, reach into the left pocket, and remove the dough. “If I

can’t do it for you, I’ll give you that money. If I succeed, I keep my money. Is it a bet?”

Shake her hand.

Overhand Shuffle , drawing off the last few cards singly so that the two of hearts is on

top. Slip Force it, show it by pushing it over with the left thumb and square the deck

with the two of hearts obviously lost in the middle. Address Vandella.

"A card you are merely thinking of is lost somewhere in the middle of the deck. I'd like

you to blow a kiss at the deck. Your card won't just blush like Walt’s; it will also have

lips permanently embossed on its face. If it doesn't I'll give you the money." Wait until

she blows a kiss at the deck. Spread through the cards, getting more and more concerned

as you go through the deck. In desperation, ribbon spread the deck face down on the

table. No red card!

"I don't get it! It worked with Walt's card!" Turn over the red card on the table. It’s the

two of hearts with lips on its face!

Wait for a few moments. Usually, Walt will say, "Hey! What happened to my card?"

That is the ideal scenario. If no one says anything after about ten or fifteen seconds look

at Walt and say, "I know what you're thinking. 'If that's her card, where's my card?'

Well, sometimes when they get embarrassed like that, they hide until they’ve stopped

blushing." Pat down your pockets, starting with the coat, then the back pants pockets and

finally the front pockets. Slowly remove the blue backed card. Turn it over to show

Walt’s signed selection. Everyone is blown away.

Pause a beat. Turn to Vandella. "But your card has a kiss permanently stuck to its face.

It's never going to stop blushing. I can’t go around with a red card in a blue deck, so I'll

let you keep that as a reminder of our time together, kind of a little souvenir."

Additional Comments: For sheer impact and entertainment value on a lay-audience,

you'd be hard-pressed to find a better card trick. It has an incredible affect on the

spectators. Learn it and use it. You won't be sorry.

THE IDAHO TRAVELERS

Effect: You display the four queens in a fan and then replace them into four different

parts of the deck. They instantly travel to four different pockets. No extra queens, no

false counts, no double lifts, no gaffs.

Set up: Place the queen of spades in your right side coat pocket and the queen of hearts

in your left side coat pocket. The queen of diamonds and queen of clubs are about fifth

and tenth from the face of the deck. The nine of spades and nine of hearts are in the top

half of the deck.
