Perfection
by Oz Pearlman

Effect

Imagine this: you shuffle a regular deck of cards (no gaffs!) and your spectator takes about half. She shuffles her half, and you shuffle yours. You both start to deal cards face-up. She deals a red 5, you deal a red 5. Could this be a coincidence? She deals a black king, you deal a black king... she deals, you deal, and every single one of her cards matches yours, in perfect order. EACH AND EVERY CARD. ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE DECK.

Perfection is one of those rare routines where spectators handle the cards and are in total control. They don’t just witness the impossible, they experience it.

In performance, Perfection has a similar feel to Paul Curry’s legendary “Out of this World�--the audience gets to make all the decisions, and as each card is dealt the effect becomes more and more unexplainable. The difference with Perfection is that the dealing sequence IS the climax so you get to the reaction sooner and build from there. Modern audiences are fully engaged and react with spontaneous laughter and applause.
