Simple. Direct. Effective.

Three words that truly describe how great Flushed Out by Eric Stevens is. With a simple, and what looks to be ordinary, gimmicked Poker Guide playing card, you can read your spectators mind!

Here is what your spectators see.

You begin by asking the spectator some simple questions to fully understand how they think. Telling them to imagine a deck of cards and shuffling them in their mind to have a completely random order. Then imagine playing a simple game of cutting to the high card. As they imagine they have cut the deck, you ask the spectator what card they cut to. Now that you know what card they imagined cutting to, you can now read their mind and continue by pulling out a double sided Poker Guide playing card asking them to merely think of any hand on the card. As they are focusing on the poker hands on the Poker Guide card, you then place a small red sticker on the opposite side of the card to lock in your thought of which hand the spectator is thinking. After you have locked in your thought the spectator names the hand they were merely thinking. You then flip the card around showing that you have perfectly guessed their hand that they were just thinking! No outs and nothing is written down previously, you get it right every single time!

Included in the instructions, not only does Eric Stevens teach you how how to perform this killer mind reading effect, but also shares with you a method how you can have the spectator read the performers mind!

With Flushed Out you will receive everything you need, ready-to-perform right out of the box, no DIY needed. Flushed Out is extremely easy to do and we know you will love how simple and direct this effect is!

Method

The Poker Card is ingeniously made using a principle that you have seen and probably have used before but would not expect to be incorporated in this effect. Feel free to hand it out, there is nothing for them to find. Other than your presentation and acting skills, the card does all the work for you. There are no fancy or complicated moves to learn, everything is very natural, you will be performing this soon after you watch the tutorial. The angles are pretty good however as long as your spectator(s) are directly in front of you, all is good to go.

Product Quality

Your will receive a very well made gimmicked double sided Poker Guide made from quality card stock, 48 red stickers and something else (you will actually receive 3) that you will need to make things happen. As the handling of the card is minimal, it will last you a long time. When you run out of stickers, take a trip to any local store that sells stickers and you are ready to perform it again and again. The downloadable video is 25 minutes long and it is a very well produced studio performance with Eric teaching you all you need to know. The quality of video, shots and sound is excellent, very easy to follow. Eric also teaches a second routine where the spectator reads your mind followed by a Q&A, troubleshooting, more little touches and nuances. His teaching is so explicit, you will probably not have to watch the video more than once.

Ad Copy Integrity

The ad description and trailer are very accurate to what you will be able to do with this effect. As mentioned earlier, you will learn a second routine that is not shown in the trailer.

Final Thoughts

This card is completely examinable before the effect and based upon the routine you do not have to allow them to examine it afterwards. So what, it’s just a card and a sticker however if you feel you must, Eric shows a way to let them examine the card afterwards. It is $40 and my first impression was that it’s pricey but taking into consideration the R&D that went into it, making the gimmick, providing the ‘extra something you get', producing a high quality video and getting the amazing reactions from your audiences, it is a recommended buy. I am having fun performing it with the reactions I am getting, if you are into effects like this, I am sure you will like it too.
