Revisiting My Favorite Bedroom Trick

No, not the one where you wrap your penis around your wrist and ask your partner if she likes your “flesh bracelet.”

And not the one where you secretly insert a D’Lite in one of your lover’s orifices while fooling around, and then you say, “What kind of messed up STD is this? And you reach into their vagina or butthole and cause light to come streaming out.”

This is a trick called Paco, that I wrote about back in 2017.

This is a trick for when you’re at the stage in the relationship where you’re spending a decent amount of time together, hanging around in bed.

Over the years, my approach to this trick has changed slightly and I wanted to update you on how.

If you read that old post, you’ll see that I sort of took advantage of something that happened to come up during an interaction in bed. And over the years, that’s how I would usually do it. I’d play the game where you write or draw on the person’s back and depending on what the person drew on me, I would play it off as some weird coincidence with this drawing I found.

But in recent years I switched it around a little. And this allows you to do the trick without being in bed with someone (which, granted, limits your performance opportunities unless you’re a true whore).

In all honesty, I really only do this trick in bed, because I think it’s an interesting setting for the trick, but I’ll describe it as if you weren’t doing it that way.

You have some sort of prediction box that allows you to switch in a business card on a shelf somewhere.

You have a pre-folded business card and a crayon on you.

Your friend is standing with their back to you.

You draw a couple of letters on their back and have them guess what they are.

Then you write a short word.

Then you do a simple shape.

Then something slightly more complex, like a house.

Then you step back a few feet. “This time I’m going to try and draw something on your back, but just in my mind.”

Ask them to imagine they can feel it. Wait a few seconds and then say something like, “It’s probably going to feel like you’re making it up. But I want you to tell me what you think I was drawing on your back in my mind.”

They are still standing facing away from you. Whatever they say, you draw quickly with the crayon on the piece of card and re-fold it. If you find it too difficult to draw quickly, you can write the word itself.

You will need to buy yourself a few seconds, so I say something like, “And did you actually feel that on your back? Or did the image just seem to come into your head?”

Either answer will feel kind of miraculous at the conclusion of the effect.

When I’m ready, I put the crayon away and tell them to grab the small box on the shelf in front of them. This is my first time mentioning the box. The prediction box I use (Mark Southworth’s “The Box”) is no longer available, I don’t believe. But you’ll want a similar box that allows them to see a folded up piece of paper inside. (Vision Box 2.0 by Joao Miranda might be a good option.)

Take the box, open it, remove the paper and give it to them to unfold.

This makes a great extension of this series of effects.
