So I posted this patter on an other forum but no one seems to be responding to it. I also want a wide range of opinions so I'll give T11 a try. I don't know if this effect has a name or if it has been done before. If not, then I claim this trick to be mine for I have created it HAHAHA! Oh well, that said, here it is:
Peer pressure is something that we are all familiar with. You may not believe in it, but you probably have been affected by your peers at one point in your life. Sure it might be good to fit in, but there is always a downside to it. Being like others so that you can fit in will take away from who you really are. You see, here we have a crowd.
*Show deck*
A crowd of people that may be different on the inside, but on the outside they choose to be the same so that they don’t stand out.
*Show back and front of cards from the deck*
However there is always that certain person that stands out. A person who can be picked out of a crowd of many.
*Ask spectator to give me a number*
*Remove cards off the bottom until I arrive to the given number*
Out of a crowd of many you picked this one person. It must be a special person, but what is it that makes him special? Let's find out...
*Riffle Shuffle Deck*
Here is a group of five people.
*Pick Five cards off the bottom (picked card is included in the five) Set the packet aside*
*Pick up deck*
This group of five, like the others might look different on the outside, but are the same on the inside.
*Cut deck in half showing front and back of the two cuts*
*Set deck aside, pick up packet*
Our special person is one of these five, but he is different in many ways. Unlike the others he decided to break away from common mentality and thus defeated peer pressure.
*Show group of five cards and reveal that picked card is not there anymore*
Those are the special people.
*Spread facedown deck to reveal face up picked card*
The people, who out of a crowd of many, can be easily picked out.
*Turn card facedown to reveal different color back from the rest*
