Ermintrude The Mind Reading Joker - Simon Lovell

The shizz kid (you) shows the joker from a pack and pops it into his pocket.  A card is then chosen by a spectator and cut into the pack.  The magician then claims that the joker will find the chosen card by mind reading.  After some amusing byplay the deck is spread to find one card reversed.  The spectator cannot see their card amoung the face up cards so it would appear that the joker has sone his job.  BUT upon turning over the reversed card, horror upon horrors, it is a joker with a speech bubble saying, "I've no idea!,...the spectator's card has vanished.

The magician explains that this card is not the mind reading joker but is in fact its stupid jealous brother trying to mess up the trick.  The joker is removed from the pocket and is seen to be holding a mini version of the chosen card....Success!
