Predict the future using a simple psychological experiment that your audience won’t see coming. Created by David Jonathan and Nikolas Mavresis, this effect blends real science with real magic to predict your spectator’s choices 100% of the time. This is The Stroop Test.

Here’s what happens:

A set of cards is introduced that have the names of the colors printed on them. Each of the words is printed in a different color than what it reads. A spectator is asked to choose a number, and the magician deals down that many cards. The color on the card is shown to match a prediction the magician made before the trick even started.

The Stroop Test comes with custom printed cards that do all of the work for you. There are no complicated spelling procedures or unusual methods of displaying the cards. The number the spectator says is the number that you actually deal. Multiple clever principles interlock to create an engaging and baffling prediction effect. Start testing your audiences with The Stroop Test.

Lovely Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 4th, 2021
Lovely routine, excellent approach. Dan Harlan does a tremendous job in his explanations - Dan at its best ;) ... Easy to blow it up so that you can use it also stand up or stage with some little adjustments - I did already and made up laminated cards in DIN A4 /app. "letter size"). Little hint (helping to strength the theme of influence): I printed the word "Stroop" (only this word...) in blue.

The Effect Outshines the Patter Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 25th, 2021
The Stroop Test is an engaging piece of mentalism that is simple to do and immediately captures the attention of spectators. That said, most performers will want to rework the two different versions of scripts offered with the downloadable instructions. One author presents the effect in a straightforward narrative that lacks the creativity afforded by the effect. The other author couches the effect in some psychobabble about conscious and unconscious minds that most educated adults would find scientifically thin. Bottom line: buy this trick but turn your own creative juices loose and come up with your own novel presentation.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Not just for the great trick (and it is), but, as a fledgling magician, I really appreciated the insights given by everyone in the video. They not only showed three different performances which helps me design my patter, but they gave multiple, very helpful tips after the explanation to clarify ways to make the performance more...seamless. Great job!

Greetings from New York!
I’m a Penguin fanatic. Always have, always will be…

I’m sure that you have seen the trailer and have noticed the STROOP TEST climbing the P3 charts. From known creators David and Nikolas, presented by P3’s WHEESAALL - Dan Harlan, they give you the best instruction, high quality cards, patter, explanations.. even you will have fun performing and practicing yourself. The STROOP TEST will stand out FROM THE REST, and as I put this to rest…. I’m sure you will see strong reviews alike any P3 exclusive. So strong that I would nominate this for Trick of the YEAR 2021.

This is the ultimate packs small plays huge. Look no further… add to cart! I do have some lyrics for you (mainly as a musician/ studio engineer all my young years) I shall make this short and sweet…


David, Nikolas, Dan & the P3 crew,
Have something you’ll do…
For the rest of your days,
You’ll continue to amaze…
A mentalist’s Dream,
So SIMPLE yet so CLEAN!
Go ahead and add this to your cart,

*FYI - I purchased this from the creators directly, so if it does not say verified that is why! Wanted to add this note as some are very picky. Any questions add me on FB. Creators offer the best help/support if needed.*

Stroll Test Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 25th, 2021
Hey There, I purchased the Stroop Test, I played around with the card for a short time, Opened up the unbelievably detailed video and before you knew it, I had the presentation down pat. After showing the trick to several unsuspecting spectators, I was able to put my own pin on the trick. All I can say is, Great Trick, Leaves your spectators wanting more and if you haven’t ordered your, What the heck are you waiting for. Honestly, it’s an easy trick to learn, If a pineapple like me can learn and perform it, you’re way ahead of the game.

Great little gimmick, with limits Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 22nd, 2021
Very fun little trick, can be presented a number of ways. If you're life is even remotely related to psychology, medicine, art, etc. you can naturally present this. It can only really be done once within a group of people - once someone has seen it, you can't perform it again even if they didn't "do" it so its best 1:1. And one reveal is just so much better than the other, I find myself praying for it. But, for what it is, its a lot of fun and the various presentations and methods allow you to adapt the concept to other "make your own" tricks. Worth the buy.

Stroop Test Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 30th, 2021
I just got this in the mail today and I had to watch the downloads. The downloads are amazing. David Jonathan and Nicolas Ma res is came up with an awesome effect and Dan Harlan did an incredible job in teaching it especially with the little details. It is well worth the money and then some.

Fun, Colorful, Simple, & Direct! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 27th, 2021
First of all, David Jonathon and Nikolas Mavresis are both incredible creators, so it is very exciting to see them partnering on this project (and more to come!) Their effects are always fun, colorful, simple, and direct...and this one is certainly no exception! This is a perfect everyday carry effect as it takes up minimal pocket space, provides an easy and interesting premise that instantly engages the spectator(s), has a quick reset, and is easy to learn. The method is very clever and allows the performer to focus on the performance because there are no moves or sleights to worry about. Such a fun idea! Highly recommended!

A really good mentalism effect Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 26th, 2021
First of all, it's fun that there really is such a thing as a Stroop Test. As a mentalism effect, it involves the spectator, is just baffling enough, fits in your wallet, is fully examinable (if you actually let your audiences do such things), and it is easy to perform. Don't overload it with too much mumbo jumbo. A brief explanation is all it needs.

Easy, fun, awesome Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 13th, 2021
I finally get to use my UCLA psychology degree (cum laude) with this wonderful mentalism effect. I've never been disappointed with anything produced by David Jonathan, and the Dan "The Weasel" Harlan part of the accompanying tutorial video is a bonus. This is actually an effect you could easily reproduce on your own and several online discussions talk about creating a larger set of the Stroop Test cards tailored for the stage or in a different language. You don't NEED the larger cards, but this is such an elegant and straightforward method that with only the most basic crafting skills that modifications are trivial. One German speaker has created a version in that language. Get this.
