Jim Bob

Jim Bob is a card trick for you slieght of hand aficionados. Hope you like it (& that my babble is readable.)

Inspired by Kenners JBO
From "Magic Man Examiner 1"

Setup: 4 of a kind on top
I use Marlo's prayer cull (MINT 1) as I state that I'm searching for a prediction.

Prologue: set the top 2 (as one) on the table (Title this tabled double as "the prediction.")

Note: you can leave the impression the spectator chooses this card by forcing the top section: I like to use the Charlie Miller force for this. Bannon's handling of the Bernard cut as a force also works

Now Spread thru the FDpack, upjogging the 2nd card from the top as you do so.

Ask a spectator (or 2) to touch any card and another. Upjog the cards they touch. That makes 3 outjogged cards all together.

As you remove the outjogged cards, . & flip them face up atop the pack; obtain a break beneath the uppermost 4 cards and continue by lifting the top 4 above the break (by the ends/biddle grip).

Drop this packet onto the FD tabled double and immediately pick up the packet.

Situ: 3 face up cards, the third being one of the mates. 3 matching FD cards which your audience (if thet do such things) assumes it to be a single FD Prediction

Table the deck face up.

Ramble some mumble jumble about the three chosen face up cards as you turn each one face down, placing it below the packet
Ex; "This card indicates a red card and this one that it's even. The last card tells me it's an 8 (assuming your prediction cards are 8's) and (turning over what appears to be the prediction) indeed my prediction is an 8!" Turn this card face down.

"I thought it was an eight, I just wasn't sure which one... "

Bring the effect to it's official conclusion; turn the packet face up and execute an Ascanio Spread to show the four Eights.

To clean up, manuever the "x" cards below the 8's and drop the packet FU packet atop the tabled deck.

Work on it
& of ya really can't figure it out email me ;)

Edit....
Jason Alford's update :
No need to table a double. Just table a single, Then when you flip over the three cards, simply add the next two face down cards and continue. You’re going to the tabled card anyway, why not hide the extra card among the others rather than on the tabled card.

I simultaneously thought of this before nodding off for an afternoon siesta... Timing! Nice catch J
