This was one of my first mental effects as a kid, and i still perform this today. i have made my own
using playing card, esp cards, and even on the back of business for an "impromptu" version where i
draw the images on the back of my business cards. i do the whole routine as a mind control
experiment. with the right patter this trick is great, you just need to make it sound organic for
yourself. without the right presentation this trick is just that, with a decent one, this trick can
be such a powerful one, as in my subliminal mind control routine i do. as a child this trick taught
me how to make great patter. that is why it is on my list of top 10 for beginners and pros. the
only reason for the four stars is that you can not perform this trick for the same group twice,
unless you can make them forget what really happened the last time. i bought this recently as a
gift for my nephew who has been showing interest in magic.
by the way, this is a great ice
breaker at bars.
