THE BLURB:
Four randomly selected spectators are chosen to come on
stage and each select a card. Then comes the
difference...instead of the mentalist revealing the names of
the selected cards, one of the spectators on stage finds
themselves able to accurately divine the name of each of the
chosen cards, with apparently no knowledge of how they are
doing it.

Not only that, but it can be stressed that this mind-reading
spectator has never met you before, that nothing has been
set up, that the performer isn't signaling to the spectator
(touch, sound etc) and that at no point prior to naming each
card does he know any of the selections. At no point does he
see the other selections and the effect works every time!
The mind-reader can even be blindfolded.

This is perhaps the closest you can get to the real thing...

This pack comes with everything needed to perform this
effect*, including in-depth instructions and full script as
well as performance ideas and extensions to what is one of
the cleanest and outrageously impossible mind-reading
effects around!

*Excluding one ordinary deck of blue-backed Bicycle Playing
Cards.

MY COMMENTS:
If you're a fan of Kenton Knepper or Luke Jermay use and if
you don't mind using playing cards, then this can be a very
powerful effect for you. The package comes with two
additional gimmicked Bicycle cards which need to be added to
a regular deck which you supply. However, as stated in the
blurb, the color isn't necessarily blue. The cards I got
were red-backed. Those cards, and some very clever
scripting which takes advantage of dual-reality principles,
do all the work. Incidentally, these gimmicks are unusual
cards and might make some performers nervous about using
them, but then dual-reality routines are always bold and, if
you're comfortable with that, then this wouldn't be a
problem at all.

Also included in the polybag package is the 4 page, 5.5" x
8.5" instruction booklet that contains all the info you'll
need to perform this. I will add that this is a stage
presentation and, as written, it needs to be performed for a
large audience. It could be adapted for a smaller audience,
though.
