THE BLURB:
Release #9 in Devin Knight's Psychic Sight series.
Clip-Sight is a utility tool that will allow you to create
miracles that defy explanation. You can do all of the below
effects and MORE with this gimmick. These effects will not
only fry your audiences they will fool the majority of
magicians as well. None of the below effects require any
sleight of hand! All are easy to do, yet are some of the
most impossible effects ever created.
Encircled Thought:
A person is handed a clipping from a newspaper (any
newspaper and not specially printed). He is asked to look
over the words in the article and focus on any word. To help
him focus on the word you ask him to circle the word with a
pencil. Once he does so he folds the clipping up concealing
his circled word.
All this is done while your back is turned. You give him an
opaque envelope and asked him to drop the folded paper
inside so it can't be tampered with. Magician never touches
the folded newspaper at anytime nor is there any billet
switch.
Immediately with no fishing or questions, you reveal the
word. NO SWITCHES or any kind. You can also have two people
circle words and reveal both words.
IMPOSSIBLE COINCIDENCE:
Before the show a lady is given a deck of cards to shuffle.
She puts them behind her back and secretly reverses a card
unknown to her. The cards are returned to the case and she
is asked to keep the deck until asked for it during your
show.
During your show, a man comes up and is told to think of a
card. You give him a slip of paper and asked him to secretly
jot down his card but not to show you or the audience.
Magician NEVER touches the paper the participant wrote on.
The lady brings the deck forward, and the card she reversed
is removed. The card she reversed turns out to be the same
card the man just thought of! Neither person is a stooge or
instant stooge!
INVISIBLE INK:
An extremely novel effect. A person is given a pen that
contains invisible ink. While you turn your back he is asked
to think of any word and write it on a piece of paper using
the invisible ink. Later, he shows the paper to the audience
who sees it is blank. You say, so actually you wrote nothing
down, and the word is only in your mind. WITHOUT TOUCHING
THE PAPER the performer reveals the word he just thought of.
NO FISHING...100% sure fire!
FORESEEN--A NU-WAY HEADLINE PREDICTION:
A new way to do a headline prediction that involves NO
STOOGES, NO SLEIGHTS and NO SWITCHES. This is a one-man
effect. A sealed envelope is mailed to a VIP who is asked
not to open it and bring it to the show. The envelope is
brought to the show and is seen to be sealed, with the seams
covered with tape so there it is completely sealed and
tamper proof. The performer has the VIP and several people
sign their names on the envelope to ensure the same envelope
is opened at the end of the show. At the end of the show the
VIP opens the envelope and removes an index card from the
inside. HE REMOVES THE INDEX CARD NOT YOU. Written on that
card are the headlines for the day. NO nail writer or
similar gimmicks used.
POSITIVELY NO SWITCH OF THE ENVELOPE at any time. At the end
the VIP can keep the envelope and predictions. EVERYTHING
can be examined.
These are just a small sampling of the effects possible with
Clip-Sight. More are described in the directions. Comes with
needed envelopes, gimmicks and a clear transparent
clipboard. NO CHEMICALS of any kind are used in any of these
effects. CLIP-SIGHT is one of the most devious gimmicks you
will ever see and the miracles are only limited by your
imagination!!!
"This unique combination of principles and advancements
gives you a powerhouse product you can use onstage for
drawing dupes, gleaning of information, names and words, and
can even be used for pre-show and headline predictions.
Plenty of versatility here for the creative performer!
Getting the information is smooth, sneaky and invisible. A
worthy addition to Devin's Sight series!"
- Tom Jorgenson
"Devin Knight has once again fused together some very old
principles, added some subtle touches, and produced a newly
designed utility prop that mentalists will find many uses
for. There are some intriguing features about Clip-Sight
that mentalists will definitely be very interested in. This
is certainly worth checking out."

"Clip-Sight is unbelievable. Nothing fools my wife and your
encircled thought left her with no solution. The ultimate
test is if something will fool my wife and this did."

MY COMMENTS:
Devin Knight has once again fused together some very old
principles, added some subtle touches, and produced a newly
designed utility prop that mentalists will find many uses
for. This time, Knight has turned his attention to
clipboards and there are some intriguing features about this
package that mentalists will definitely be very interested
in.
There are two main features to this clear plexiglass
clipboard which measures 6.5" x 8.5". One is something that
Devin Knight calls the Thought Shield. It's a black 3" x 5"
square that's centered at the top of the clipboard. The
second feature is a specially constructed impression
envelope which is quite easy to make, though a sample one is
included in the package.
I won't go into details on how these features are used, but
I'm sure you know that, in combination, many effects are
possible. Included in the 22 pages of instructions (8.5" x
11", stapled) are explanations for quite a few effects
including Encircled Thought, Double Take, Mental Vacation,
Question Revelation, Simplex Drawing Duplication, Revealing
a Thought Never Written, Impossible Card Prediction, Totally
Impossible Card Prediction, and Foreseen. All of these
are prediction effects using words, headlines, cards, and
other thoughts.
As usual, Devin Knight supplies everything you need to
perform this right out of the box it comes in - pencils,
clipboard, envelopes, and other necessary materials. Just
like the different styles of boon writers, this is a
different style of clipboard. Some will find great uses for
this style and others probably will not. It is an
intriguing utility prop and this is certainly worth checking
out.
