Manipulate your audience’s mind to produce a picture that they have only been thought of. This diabolical trick from the devilishly clever Dan Harlan is an amazing piece of mentalism that plays well in a formal performance and a casual setting. Your audiences will discover the perfect picture in Photo Finish by Dan Harlan.

Here’s what happens:

The performer gives the audience a stack of photographs that has been cut into small pieces. The spectator freely mixes the pieces of photos any way they want. The magician then tells the spectator that they are going to perform a sort of photo recall. The magician describes a vivid image and then has the spectator sort the pieces of the photos while they are face down into four piles. The top of each pile is turned face up, and impossibly the spectator has managed to assemble all four pieces of the image the magician described.

Photo Finish comes complete with all of the props needed to perform this amazing routine. It’s part mentalism, part magic, and all-around amazing for your audience members. In addition to the props, you will receive expert instructions from Dan Harlan on how to perform this wonderful trick with minimal sleight of hand. The best part is that your spectator does all the work. This effect is more than a revelation. This is Photo Finish by Dan Harlan.

This is so good. The only trick I have bought recently where after learning ( within minutes) you want to chuck out the cards you receive and make up your own photos. I didn’t realise you can order paper photos online via app practically free of charge. This trick is perfect for customisation for corporate work, weddings is an obvious one with a photo of the happy couple…. or bizarre. It’s got so May applications. Well done Penguin people !

Surprised Me And Now My Favorite Act Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 28th, 2022
Use this to get corporate gigs. Or, buy an insta print camera and print out your audience member’s photo to have them magically perform this trick with a story about finding your true love (yourself). This trick takes an old principle used with cards and expands it to something as personal and unique as photos. If you are not familiar with the principle then as an added bonus you will learn a principle that you can then add to card tricks or ESP cards. So, you really are getting three tricks instead of one. Dan asked us to write a review. Yes. But, this trick IS that good and merits my taking the time to compliment Dan on really great work. Keep it coming Dan!

Love this Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 13th, 2022
The nicest part of this effect is that it is simple to perform and will blow people's minds as it is customizable to whatever situation you may be in. Even before I received my deck, I made another personalized deck. For example ,as suggested, I made a deck in which the last photo set was the guest and told him to picture an event in his life that he would like to return to. The final set was a photo of him as a young man on a date with a young woman. Since he is a good sport and gay, it created a hilarious moment for all at this party. this is why this is a great purchase and Dan Harlan has created another great twist on this effect which seemingly is well known. Not so fast.

Great Twist on a Classic - Easy to Do Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 9th, 2024
Photo Finish is a fun and engaging take on a classic card trick, but with a nice personalized touch using photos the performer and audience can relate to. Super easy to do, and includes a well thought out tutorial video.

Another review mentioned, the photos received in their package were different then shown in the trailer. This is true, and I felt the photos I received were pretty boring and uninteresting, photos I would personally never take or have much interest in - I think Dan and/or Penguin could easily provide far more interesting and relatable photos to enhance the value. The tutorial does suggests you print your own photos, which certainly makes the presentation far more personal and fun, especially if performing for friends and family, just plan on spending another $5 - $10 to do that.

A refreshing update to a old routine, but a box of some sort would really have been a nice touch to protect the cards instead of a ziplock bag.

Great Trick! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 1st, 2022
It’s simple. It uses an old but powerful force that’s really easy to do. Spectators are amazed by it. And because you can personalize it, it really hits them in a way that no ordinary card trick can. Get it!

Such a great effect! This is one of those tricks where your presentation and the amazing magic can blow people away. I plan on using the exact photo he did for the reveal because it looks SO similar to a photo of my daughter around the same age.

Bonne idée pour varier votre show Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 22nd, 2023
Tour facile
Il existe Plusieurs façons autres que celle de Dan pour produire la photo choisie, perso j’en utilise une de Dai Vernon
L’intérêt principal est d’amener de la variation à votre spectacle de cartes grâce à l’utilisation de photos .
Je vais les imprimer au format de quatre cartes bicycle pour pouvoir les ranger dans une boîte bicycle
17,7 cms x 12,5 cms
Mais merci pour l’idée…les photos ça change des classiques cartes de poker
