Paul Richards' Truth is finally available online!

Imagine seeing through a lie and always knowing....the Truth.

The spectator is given a free choice of two colored chips. They choose one and drop it into a black bag, then the second chip is also placed inside. Only the spectator knows the color of the chosen chip. The magician NEVER sees the chips as they are placed into the bag. The chips are legitimately mixed by both the magician and the spectator. The spectator tries to mislead the magician as to what color was selected. But each time the magician knows the Truth.

The magician adds more chips, each a different color and every time the magician sees through the lies and reveals the Truth. The effect can be repeated again and again...it only gets more impossible.

Comes complete with:
•five colored chips
•two mixing bags
•the Truth gimmick,
•and a detailed instructional DVD

The DVD not only covers every aspect of the routine - but also includes bonus ideas for customizing Truth for a wide variety of objects and occasions. Everything may be examined before and after the effect. Remember these important facts:
•Easy to do
•No force of any kind
•Instantly reset and repeatable
•Use virtually any paper bag
•The spectator may mix the chips
•All may be examined
•No peeks or glimpses...you could even be blindfolded!

While not 100% necessary, some people like to use only the bags we provide with the effect. If that's you, you can purchase refill bags here.

I really like the work that Paul Richards does. He is a great guy to chat with and a wonderful performer too. The effects that he puts on the market may be simple, but they are always well thought out. This one is no exception.

The ad copy (as with all his other ad copies) is true to its word. The description below does not contain the link to the refill bags, but they can be found on the Elmwood Magic site.

There is not much to say about this except that what you get is five quality poker chips, the Truth gimmick, two black paper bags and the well-made instructional DVD.

The gimmick itself in the way it works is quite unique. Suffice it to say it is a simple and ingenious gimmick.

The DVD outlines the gimmick, the props and the basic routines using the poker chips and the bags. Once you see how it works, the ideas and possibilities are literally limited only by your imagination. Paul does a great job in teaching, the audio and video are crisp, clean and clear and he gives you plenty of additional ideas for using the gimmick to get your thinking started.

One of the best things about this product? Aside from the gimmick and depending on your presentation, you can borrow everything you need to do this effect! It is angle-proof, it works in any situation and if you prefer, you can even use different containers for this instead of the paper bags.

If you want something different in your arsenal with unlimited possibilities of uses for it, this will not disappoint and I highly recommend it.
