Cut Above

THE BLURB:
As many of you know, Kenton is more than a magician or a
mentalist… He is a Wizard. And to him, that means that
sometimes the lines get blurred between the two.

Often times a spectator wants you to tell them the future. A
Cut Above is perfect for the impromptu `reading' by a
magician, or as an opener for a more in depth session.

A blank card is shown to be the spectators future. Somewhere
along the `path', they choose to make a change. You cut the
card in two pieces - where they want you to - and then you
show that there were many choices printed on the back. Their
choice proves to be a positive and moving experience every
time.

A Cut Above comes with three different versions of cards so
that you can repeat the effect – and with plenty of each to
perform dozens and dozens of times.

MY COMMENTS:
Experienced mentalists should know the classic principle
involved here. (If you're not familiar with it, I'll refer
you to Chuck Hickok's excellent version described in
Mentalism, Inc. Volume One and sold separately as Snipper.)
Kenton has applied this principle to a routine with readings
using blank-backed business cards. The other side has the
"choices" that the blurb refers. I can't go into much more
detail without giving away Kenton's presentation, but it's
the usual Kenton quality. It's certainly a very effective
routine. The package comes with a single, double-sided page
of instructions, plus 75 cards - 25 each of 3 different
cards for three different types of readings.
