Audio Psychic

THE BLURB:
For over 20 years, Kenton has kept audiences guessing about
this one... now it can be yours.

A highly entertaining bit of close-up magic to be played on
your I-phone, any MP3 player or CD. Perform it at home, at
school, in the bar, at the coffee house... anywhere you can
take an MP3 player!

The mystery goes with you - wherever you go.

A card is selected and then mixed among nine other random
cards faces down. The spectator shuffles and arranges the
cards freely in any order they wish. The performer does not
touch these ten cards - the spectator can shuffle and
arrange the cards any way they wish.

The performer, taking a guess, turns one card face up. This
is unfortunately NOT the spectator's card. "So much for mere
guessing" remarks the performer.

The performer claims to have an"Audio Psychic" who has
already made a prediction.

The spectator plays the audio prediction. It is a humorous
romp around the remaining face down cards. The Audio Psychic
keeps "missing" the spectator's chosen card!

This becomes more and more humorous and intriguing as nearly
every card is turned over. Never is the spectator's card
found. The audio recording claims that this is bound to
happen due to "REVERSE ESP".

Finally, one card remains face down on the table. Sure
enough, the Audio Psychic has indeed been "toying with the
mind" of the spectator. The final face down card is turned
over and it IS the spectator's card!

Then the audio psychic NAMES the chosen card on the
recording, as a surprising finale.

You get THREE audio tracks so you can repeat the effect with
three different cards.

You also get all of Kenton's devious instructions, the
script and how to act along with the recording, and a few
special notes you will find worthy of considering for other
card effects and card mentalism as well.

This is a highly entertaining, funny and yet entirely
mystifying routine that Kenton has kept hidden from most
performers for over 20 Years. In these times, even
mentalists need to provide a little levity from time to
time. Here is one of Kenton's favorite ways to do just that
- easily.

Have the spectator lay out the cards themselves, play the
audio program, and you'll be entertaining everyone for over
5 minutes... while you listen along with the spectators!

The only "work" (if you can call it that) is at the very
beginning, before the spectator shuffles the selected cards
and sets them on the table. While Kenton supplies many
ingenious tips, if you can force a card, you can do this
routine. If you cannot - the instructions supplied will help
you there too.

Please NOTE:

*The prediction can be sent ahead of time to a client on a
CD

*The effect can instantly be repeated twice more. This is
perfect for friends, at a bar, or for walk-around/table
close-up performances.

*This is real entertainment! The comedic responses and bits
on the audio program keeps everyone guessing what is going
on, while making the utterly impossible fun to watch!

*Pure audience interaction and participation, while you
relax and play along with the CD or audio program.

*WEBSITE HINT: Though not in the instructions, the effect
can be performed over the telephone with the spectator
calling a friend to see if they can figure out which card is
theirs, once the performer's original guess is found to be
incorrect. This is like "The Wizard" phone trick but without
any hinting to your friend. Once your friend knows the
script, they can do it anytime. Just have your friend act
out the part that is on the recording!

*The full set, with instructions, tips, and three special
audio tracks will be in your hands instantly as DOWNLOADABLE
PDF AND MP3 TRACKS. These are zipped as usual, to speed up
the download process for you.

*The instructions include Kenton's secret handlings that
fooled the lucky few performers who were privy to Kenton's
performances of this effect over the years.

LOOK FOR THE ENDING LETTERS OF THE DOWNLOAD NAMES once you
download this set. The last two letters tell you which card
revelation is which. The last letters also tell you which of
the four downloads is the instruction book (look for the
ending of "pdf").

MY COMMENTS:
This is a fun playing card effect and it's based on an old
principle. All you need to perform this is a deck of cards
and the audio files. They can be stored on a cellphone, MP3
player, computer, etc. You can even send this out ahead of
time to someone. Bassically, a card is selected, followed
by some very easy card handling (or you can get fancy, if
you want), and then ten cards are laid out. After that, the
performer only needs to make sure that the participant
follows the easy instructions. It's an almost self-working
effect. I tried this out on my high school class and they
had great fun with it. There's plenty of room for a
creative mentalist to make this even stronger. I know this
isn't everyone's cup of tea, but if this interests you,
you'll enjoy using it.

As explained in the blurb, the whole package is downloadable
and you get three different audio recordings so that you can
repeat this. You also get the PDF file which explains how
to perform this.
