Whether you perform magic, mental magic or mentalism Surprise Cinema will fit perfectly!
Perfect for close up or parlor performances.
Here at Alakazam we love movies and mentalism with movies.
We pioneered the movie/mentalism genre with Andy Nyman Killer Elite Pro, Simon Shaws incredible Directors Cut and Steve Dimmers amazing Screen Test and now we are super proud to announce the arrival of Surprise Cinema.
Surprise Cinema is based on Steve Cooks amazing Symbol but the routine was given an even more commercial premise by Redvers John who added the film theme. Add to that Peter Nardi's storyline and presentation and you have a sure-fire winner!
You explain that you belong to a club called Surprise Cinema. Each month you are invited to watch one of six classic movies but here's the catch you choose a screen number and whatever is playing in that screen you will have to watch.
But there is something a little strange. They also send you a little red envelope with a ticket to see one of the movies and each and every month without fail they manage to correctly predict what film you will end up seeing.
Crazy right? Let's try it.
Your spectator now names a screen number one, two, three, four, five or six (there is no force of number, they freely choose whichever screen they like). You reveal what movie is playing in their chosen screen and when you remove the ticket from the envelope the film printed on it is the exact same film, no switching, adding or ditching!
There is no gaffed Envelope (it really is empty at the end), it's not always the same film, no sleight of hand is required. Comes with an alternative ending of a duplicate film post card.
So it's up to you, you can use the poster card ending, the ticket ending or both for a double whammy!
You will absolutely love Surprise Cinema.
Surprise Cinema is printed on our pro-sized high quality cards with custom designed graphics with gorgeous colors that truly pop out!

This is a fun PFPB packet trick that plays well close up or in a parlor setting. The effect is very easy to master, presents an entertaining premise and resets instantly. The cards are good quality with excellent art images and are a suitable size for close up or parlor. These qualities make it ideal for restaurant table hopping and roaming acts. I feel that I received fair value for my investment.
My sole complaint is the explanation video that droned on in a dry, monotone voice about the history and creative process behind the effect for fifteen grueling minutes before reaching the set-up and explanation. Please save the "back pats" for the end of the video!
