A True "No Camera" Trick

Effect

  1. A card is looked at and remembered.
  2. Three Pieces of "photographic paper" (which bear an uncanny resemblance to double-black cards) are introduced.
  3. One of the three pieces of photo paper are chosen by the spectator and signed on the back.
  4. The signed paper is then inserted between the other two.
  5. Suddenly, a blurry image of the spectator's thought-of card appears on the face. Is your spectator out of focus, or did you just have way too much coffee this morning?
Comes complete with instructional DVD, specially-printed cards and uncontrollable caffeine jitters.

This is pretty commercial effect. It's short sweet and to the point. The entire video is only 20 minutes. It comes with a decent stash of props which is good, because Peterson recommends - and I agree with him - that you have the card signed and that you give it away. You'll be giving away a specially printed card each time you perform.

The effect is visual and is a very cool idea. Plus the DVD comes with a decent lot of props and a handful of really clever alternate handling ideas. There's not much else to say. If you like packet tricks, then you'll definitely like this. If you don't like packet tricks, I think you'll still like this. It's clean, simple, visual and the handling - Peterson is very smooth in this routine - is very clever. For 25 bucks, you'll likely get your money's worth. Gem. 3.5 stars.
