Super Sight - Get ready to FREAK OUT your spectators! You're in the other room, you're eyes are closed, the spectator has a completely free choice!!! Highly Recommended!!!
"Your spectators have absolutely no hope of figuring it out. It's almost not even fair." -- Maxwell Murphy, Penguin Magic
The Effect You hand a spectator a plush velvet pouch and ask her to remove the contents. She removes a solid brass canister (just under 2" tall) with a screw-on lid and 5 different colored brass discs.
As she inspects the contents of the pouch you turn your back. (Alternately, you can leave the room.)
You instruct her to choose a disc, place it into the velvet pouch, and place the velvet pouch into her pocket. Still in a position such that it is completely impossible for you to see the spectator, you ask her to place the four remaining disks into the canister and screw on the lid.
Now, there is absolutely no way that anyone can see into the sealed bag or brass canister. (All props withstand immediate and prolonged inspection.)
Turning finally to face the spectator, you remark that you have the power of "Super Sight." You pick up the canister, making sure the lid is on firmly, and drop it into your other hand. Placing the canister on the counter, you stare at her pocket as though you're looking right through it.
You make eye contact with the spectator and tell her exactly what four colors are in the canister and what color is sealed in the bag.
She pulls the pouch out of her pocket, opens it up, and looks at you with utter amazement. Astonishing!
Everything that comes inside the box is inspectable... except for the instructions.
We love the secret, and we feel completely confident you'll love it too. Super Sight is a quality prop that you will be proud to own and perform.

This is a nice piece of apparatus. It looks like a magic trick yes but upon letting the spectator closely examine all the parts you can sell it as fair. I like the quality and the fun you can have is there for the buck. You can even leave the room while the spectator/volunteer does there thing. It will take a few times and a bit of practice but it is an excellent trick. Also the size is nice and once mastered it works every time. Add to cart.

Too obvious

Sorry, but I really don't like this effect. The props are quite nicely made, so I'll give credit for that, but the problem is that they still look like very much like magic props. There's nothing natural or organic about them. Since they look so much like props, people will naturally want to scrutinize them to try to figure out the workings. If you let them do so, it's really not very hard for anyone to get a pretty good idea as to method. Even without applying any scrutiny to them, the nature of the effect doesn't leave many alternatives as to the method. If you perform this for anyone who is reasonably intelligent and invests a few moments of thought to it, they will not be fooled.
This is certainly a step up from the die-in-canister trick, which is similiar in effect ("see" the hidden item), but it's still too gimmicky and transparent to be something I'd want to perform for an adult.
OK Penguin, lets get this one in stock again. It is truely a great mentalism trick. When you reveal the selected color, they will be amazed every time. The first time I saw this, a magician friend baffled me with it. I took the trick and examined it inside and out. I couldn't figure it out. I just knew I wanted this trick. I waited for Penguin to stock it, and waited, and waited. My local magic store did not sell it, and I was getting tired of waiting, so I offered my friend money. He sold it to me and once he taught me the effect, I was like, Duh, wow, I never would have figured that out. The trick is completely inspectable, and that's what I like the most.

Great Trick
[Verified buyer] by Elliot from Pasadena, CA USA on 01/04/2004 03:11:03
I like this trick and feel that while it's a little expensive it packs a big punch. I've gotten tons of great reactions and it's definately paid for itself. The reason I give it a 4 is because while the items aren't obviously gimmicked too much time out and the audience (if it's small) might figure it out. And no- there is NO other equipment in the box- just the canister and the disks. Nothing to palm- and nothing to hide- and you are VERY clean at the end. I give it an A.

Super Sight

Mixed reviews for this trick I see. I don't understand why. Super Sight is excellent and will be in your magic repertoire for years to come. The secret ingenious, there's no reason to feel anything but satisfaction with this piece of magic. The device is very durable and will not wear out from repeated uses. The price is more than reasonable. It might be wise to get Crazy Cube AND Tel-A-Vision first to see if this sort of magic is what you enjoy.
and share your thoughts with other magicians!
