fully-inspectable

mentalism

repeatable

Discern their thoughts! Hand the spectator a cube and a small box into which the cube fits snugly. On each of the cube's six sides is a different color. The spectator selects one color, and places the cube into the box, while the magician's back is turned. Handing the box over to the magician is all it takes - the magician instantly knows which of the six colors was selected. Easy to do! No sleight of hand. All the props are examineable.

Why we Love it

It packs a lot of punch for the dollar
It's extremely fun to perform over and over again
It can be examined and examined and examined some more! Everything inside the box is inspectable... except the instructions.

PLEASE NOTE: The actual Box looks like the image shown. The demo video shows an older version.

The tel a vision mind reading trick Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 31st, 2023

I really like this trick because it is really simple and it pulls even adults and can be examined before and after the effect I would highly recommend this to anyone I really enjoy performing this in my mind reading magic show.

Get Ed Marlo's routine Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 10th, 2018

There is nothing wrong with this trick. It plays very well with the proper presentation. Even the standard routine included with the trick is a fooler, but if you want to go a step further, read the book Arcade Dreams and learn Marlo's handling!

Love to perform this one Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 8th, 2014

I love this cube. Although simple looking, it is pretty deceptive and people don't usually figure it out unless you hand it out for examination and they have it in their hands for over 5-10 minutes (and even then some people don't get it). All in all, for the price, this is one of the best little things you can put into your bag.

PRESENTATION IS KEY Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 2nd, 2012

A SIMPLE EFFECT WITH A CUNNING SECRET, TEL A VISION IS A THING OF BEAUTY FOR ANYONE LOOKING FOR AN INTRODUCTION TO MENTALISM. THE REVELATION OF THE SECRET RESULTS IN A REAL DOH MOMENT.
AS WITH MANY MENTALISM EFFECTS WHICH HAVE A SIMPLE EXPLANATION THE PRESENTATION OF THE EFFECT IS EVERYTHING. HOWEVER TWO OR THREE TIMES IS PROBABLY ENOUGH TIMES TO PRESENT THIS EFFECT TO ANY AUDIENCE.

I AM A LOT HAPPIER WITH THIS INEXPENSIVE PURCHASE THAN I HAVE WITH ONES TEN TIMES THE PRICE!

IF TEL A VISION WAS A PIECE OF STEAK, IT WOULD BE "WELL DONE"!!!!!!!!

Are they still selling this? Report this review

Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 6th, 2011

This is a trick that is fully examinable, can be performed over and over again and is easy to do.
Does this make this trick a good trick?
I got this trick not at Penguin, but in my first magic box I got for my sixth birthday. It's really easy to figure out, and far to small to make a big impact.
Does this make this trick a bad trick?

No, no, no.
This is an all right trick, because audiences like it, and ask to do it again. But the cons are making this trick more for kids shows.

This is a trick you might want to have, just to perform once a while, but grown-up audience performers, please stay away from this.

Simple magic at it's best Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 7th, 2010

This is a well-known little trick, but it can still slay an audience with the right emphasis and presentation. The prop is sturdy and well made, and the colors are also nice and bright. If you are looking for something small, easy, economical, and impressive then look no further than Tel-a-vision.

Only for Kids Report this review

Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 5th, 2010

Another great kids trick. The secret is very simple, but yet not easy to figure out. Someone will probably eventually guess it, but they can't really prove it. The kids will really like it but don't try pulling this out for your adult audience because they aren't going to be impressed. If you love doing magic for kids, you'll love this one.

Good simple trick Report this review

Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 5th, 2010

This is a great trick for beginners. It will get decent reactions. Some people may figure it out, but you will still be able to fool a lot of people. Very simple to do. For only a few bucks, why not add to cart.

Good Effect at a Great Price Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 2nd, 2010

I didn't really know what to expect from this effect. I purchased it solely to get to a certain dollar amount spent for another promotion that Penguin was doing.

When I got it, I laughed at it at first. I thought to myself there is no way that people won't be able to figure out how it's done. But I figured I'd give it a try anyways.

It's so deceptively simple and easy to do that I figured that it would get picked up on right away.

Boy, was I ever wrong. After showing it to a few spectators and having them ask to see it again, I started to realize that it might actually be a pretty strong mentalism type trick!!!

The trick is extremely easy to perform, and despite it's simplicity seems to really baffle and entertain spectators. I had many people ask me to do it again, only to still be completely amused at the fact that I was getting it right every time.

For only a couple of bucks, you really can't go wrong with this one!!!
