Wrong Way by Vernet is another version of The Square Compass. Simple in design and concept the Square Compass allows the performer a wide berth when it comes to presentational concepts. The Square Compass has been used by Gospel magicians for object lessons as well as comedy magicians with clever story lines. The Square Compass is appropriate for virtually any venue because the prop itself is just a vehicle for the presentation. The prop has two arrows printed on it, and at one point in the routine the arrows starts to become uncooperative and the direction they point becomes uncontrollable by the performer. It truly is a topographical marvel.
Vernet's Wrong Way is designed to entertain children. The patter provided centers around the importance of following street signs. While explaining when driving a car you must follow the road signs, the arrows start to point in crazy, unpredictable ways. In the end the sign opens up and displays a illustration of a police officer with a cutout for the performers face.
Vernet's prop is very well constructed and I can't imagine it not lasting for years and years. The video instruction is in Spanish but with English subtitles. It is about 9 minutes long and covers all the handling needed to perform the routine. One nice thing about Vernet's version is the flexibility of the prop. You can present it as it was designed as a kid's routine but if you are do adult shows you never need to open the board up for the final reveal. If by chance you do have to entertain some kid's the option of the final reveal is always there.

Vernet’s “Wrong Way” is the latest in the long line of “Crazy Compass” props. It's been called “Crazy Compass”, “Tate's Compass”, “High Sign” and many other names. It's often found in beginners’ magic kits with the tri-color cups and balls, spiked coin and other plastic gimmicks and gaffs.
“Wrong Way” is a nice quality, highly visible prop. It's a kids show performer’s dream as it packs flat and plays big. It will get the kids reacting and interacting. This version has a ending which is a nice feature as most do not. It unfolds into a police officer with a cut out for your smiling face. The only downside is that you have to have high speed internet access or patience as the instructional video is a sizable download from a rather convoluted URL. But if you have experience with any of its ancestors, you may not need it.
Vernet’s “Wrong Way” is a well made addition to “Crazy Compass” lineage.
