"I bloody love the way you've taken something that has been restricted to stage/parlour use for decades and made it practical for the close-up or even casual performer." - Ken Dyne

Prepare to ROAST your friends with Iain Bailey's new premium blend prediction effect!

You are sat sipping on a flat white in your favourite coffee shop and your buddy asks to see a little magic...

As long as your Roasted gimmick is in your pocket, you'll be ever-ready to blow them away with an impossible, logical and super organic mentalism routine!

Imagine this; You ask them to think of any drink, and a celebrity that they would like to share this drink with.

After a moment of concentration you write a couple of words on a napkin and toss it face down towards them:

"Would you be impressed if I'd written your drink on this napkin?"

They of course agree, but when the napkin is turned over to reveal the words "Your Drink" they can only laugh at your terrible attempt at humour.

FEAR NOT; before they grind you like a coffee bean, you were just building them up to knock them right down with your finale!

You explain that really this was REALLY all about the celeb they freely named - When they look underneath the cup that's been sat on the table from the start, the name of this celebrity is written in PERMANENT ink! (It can even be a different colour to the pen you were using!)

There are no forces and no restrictions; you can predict ANYTHING that will fit on the bottom of a coffee cup and you can do this with any take-away cup in any restaurant or cafe in the world!

Once the gimmick is set up, you will be ready to go at all times.
The method here is so good because the only “move” involving the cup is hidden by natural misdirection - they will be scratching their heads all the way up to the counter to buy you a refill!

Download instantly and learn the secret today - this has already become one of our favourite mentalism effects, and we know that it's about to become your favourite too!

Excellent Debut Effect by Iain Bailey Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 30th, 2018
First things first, it takes courage to market your first effect, opening yourself up to the critique and criticism of the magic community. For that I commend Iain Bailey, and I hope he continues inventing and marketing. If Penguin allowed decimal ratings, I'd have given this a 3.5. I bumped it up to a 4 because I like Iain's style and think he's an excellent teacher.

This is probably the best coffee shop routine I've seen, though it's limited because performing with a cup of coffee would seem out of place just about anywhere except a coffee shop. (Albeit I bought this for the high school Sunday School I teach, where it does fit in because everybody has a cup of coffee or cocoa.)

It lost a star because "the move" was done off camera. While this frustrates me as a consumer, I can understand why, and this should not be read to mean that the move would be flashed in a real-world application. There's a clever deception that provides a boatload of misdirection at the crucial time.

I also wanted to address the claim that the gimmick takes 20 seconds to construct. While that's true for the main gimmick, the secondary gimmick takes more effort and costs a few bucks. (Technically, you could do the effect with just the main gimmick. But the secondary gimmick adds an additional layer of cover and helps sell the miracle.)

Finally, kudos should be given for the twist that keeps the audience from thinking a step ahead of the magician, detracting from the "miracle." While even the most unseasoned laymen knows where a card trick is going when the magician pulls a citrus fruit out of his pocket, nobody will see this ending coming. Good work Iain, and I'm looking forward to your next release.

Awesome Report this review

Works every time. Would be amazing if gimmicks were provided as I'm a lazy as*hole but the explanations were clear on the crafting process.

Roasted by Ian Bailey Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 9th, 2019
Anyone who works a coffee shop or a restaurant that uses cardboard to go cups should have this trick in their arsenal. It is fun to perform. I make up 12 gimmicks at a time. They are easy to make, I use a disposable scalpel to cut them out but any sharp edge like a model knife will work. Takes about 30 seconds to make one gimmick. I like this trick a lot.

Highly disappointing Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 2nd, 2018
If the video/ live performance would had been recorded or shown from the guest perspective I’m certain I would not have download this. Will not be performing this and feel like I could have just shredded my money and gotten more out of it. Going forward I’ll be rewatching a couple of times before purchasing instant downloads.
I’ve always been pleased with Penguin Magic. This time Not so much.

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 11th, 2019
Explained beautifully and a brilliant utility with so many applications... I love being impromptu and whatever preparation here is necessary is either one time or so minimal its COMPLETELY worth it! Well done, and thank you!

Simple yet effective Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 26th, 2018
The method is simple but at the same time comes incorporated with well timed and natural misdirection to carry out any dirty work. In terms of setup; there is a little 'arts and crafts' if you can even call it that. As long as you have access to sharpies and polystyrene cups then you're good to go and you can prepare a ton of gimmicks in advance for multiple performances. The ad copy is fairly accurate; your drink does start and end on the table (but it may have to be lifted at some point, but don't fear there is good reason to do so and the spectators will be none the wiser). Iain Bailey is a great and funny teacher, being from the UK too I enjoy the sarcasm :) I would also recommend his 'signature trick' on his website which is an add on to 'credit card fraud' - it's great! Looking forward to more releases from Iain!

FUN & EASY TO DO Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 12th, 2018
Good fun trick, it's all in your presentation really. Super easy to make the gimmick (yes you need to make something but it will take you about 30 seconds) There are some other "things" you can do or make if you want which are not necessary to make the trick work just might throw off people who try to analyze or backtrack but if you present well you can get by without even worrying about it honestly in my opinion. I recommend this trick.
