Equilibrium

Equilibrium was MindFX's hottest selling effect at the 2020 Blackpool magic convention.
Equilibrium is far more than a singular effect, instead, it is a modular system which will allow you to perform a wide variety of different effects. At it's core, this system allows you to offer you a refreshing new way of controlling your participants choices without the use of equivoque.
Despite offering your participants GENUINE free choices, you will always be in control of the end result. This system is versatile enough to be used in both close up and stage environments and lends itself to countless routining possibilities.
This booklet contains an in-depth examination of the equilibrium system and details several possible applications for it's use. This includes a beautiful impromptu demonstration of influence which requires nothing more than a handful of coins and a lottery prediction effect. These effects can be performed one on one, or with multiple participants too.
Note: A link is provided within this book to give owners access to performance videos, additional routines and alternative handlings which will be filmed as soon as the present Covid situation eases sufficiently.
As an added bonus, you will also learn Michael's 'Strike it Lucky' Zodiac routine which we feel is worth the price of the booklet alone.
Important Note: 'Equilibrium' and 'Trident' will also feature in the upcoming book titled 'The Missing Piece'. As yet, there is no scheduled release date for this collective work.

Overview
Equilibrium allows you to have your spectator choose 3 of 6 items which are all different. After a process of them choosing 3 for them and the remaining 3 being yours, you will have accurately predicted the final outcome. Even though your participant(s) will have the freedom to make genuine choices, you will still retain control over the final outcome. Equilibrium is highly adaptable making it suitable for different types of performances and also offers endless possibilities for creative routines.Effect
Equilibrium allows you to have your spectator choose 3 of 6 items which are all different (coins, cards, stones, colored dice or envelopes …). They keep any 3 for themselves and the remaining 3 are yours. The spectator can even change their mind at any point or switch the ownership of any item at any time and you will have miraculously predicted which one was ’theirs’ and which one was ‘yours’. As an added bonus, you will receive Michael's 'Strike it Lucky' Zodiac routine, which some believe is worth the price of the booklet itself.Method
The system devised to pull this off is ingenious and once learned gets easier to understand and perform. This effect is similar to ‘equivoke’ in that it can be seamlessly integrated into your routine any time you wish. It allows you to specify the choices the spectator will make before they even decide on them. There are no angle issues or sleights involved in performing Equilibrium. It can be performed with 1 spectator or with multiple spectators at the same time.Product Quality
Other than the stickers printed with ‘Mine’ and ‘Yours' that you receive, the performer will be supplying the items used as mentioned above. You also receive a 21 page 8.5” x 5.5” booklet which will describe in full the workings of Equilibrium including the foundation of the system, several routines including a lottery prediction, scripting and a bonus routine. A link is also provided allowing you to access and download 5 performance videos - just under 21 minutes teaching the additional routines and alternative handlings.Ad Copy Integrity
