A great way to present a CLASSIC in card magic!

Cereal Brainwave is just like the original Brainwave effect, but with cereal boxes on the faces!

Effect: The magician shows eight cards with cereal boxes on the faces. The spectator chooses a card which is set down on the table face up. All the remaining cards are shown to have red backs except for the spectators card which is blue! This can then be instantly repeated.

Specially printed cards include color packaging and one page with patter. There is also a link to video instructions!

8 boxes of cereal on the faces - 4 of the cards have a blue back and 4 have a red back.

First things first: This trick REALLY DESERVES 5 STARS! Honestly, it does! The only reason I gave it 4.5 is because the printing/graphics are not exactly perfect. The edges (of the graphics/text) have that cheap printing "jitter" thing going on, so the professionalism could've been amp'd up just a bit on that. However, from 3 feet away, people will never notice.....and with the natural movement contained within your performance, their brain will never register a thing wrong with these.

The "move" required to make this work is VERY easy; It's the standard "brainwave" move- -super simple. I add one or two minor nuances to how I handle the cards to increase the deceptivity of the move, but the standard handling is fine.

Personally, when a trick plays just as well for a room filled with 40 year-olds as it does when performing for 3 10 year-olds, that's what you call "a keeper"!! This trick NEVER LEAVES MY SIDE!! This and Danny Archer's "Animental" are always on me. But this one now. Right now. You'll be glad you did.
