Talking String
Posted on May 7th, 2008 by John
A COLLEAGUE RECENTLY GAVE MEÂ an item that I first saw fifty years ago that I believe used to be sold by magic dealers.
A piece of string that talks!
A card is selected and the magician shows a piece of red string and pulls it between his thumb and finger nail. And unbelievably you can hear the muffled but distinguishable words “You chose the ace of diamonds” – the chosen card or whatever.
I haven’t see this for years but it’s a great talking point when you show it to lay people. And with a second piece of string you can repeat it with a different card. Anyone else come across this item?
