This is simplicity to its vey extreme! No forces, no sleights, nothing of such sort. I believe this is one of those tricks where we say ‘Packs Small, Plays Big’. I mean, all you need is a pen and some name tags(or even piece of paper would do) The fact that it’s so organic changes the game and it doesn’t even need a reset. You can perform it almost instantly.

I’ve always been a fan of Rick Lax’s and Spidey’s thinking and they surely lived up to their reputation. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a simple as A.B.C. Trick, yet powerful enough to be remembered for. It's not the trick alone, it's the scripting and connection of them with their names that really matters while performing.

The punctuations at the last of showing that all the names are actually different and there are not duplicates is a small detail but that alone is what affects the spectators mind more than the climax. Before even the trick begins, you know they are going to get fooled.

The one thing I believe that may disappoint some of you guys is that it cannot be repeated for the same group of friends again. I mean, you could do this, but that sells out the trick to the ones too focused. But if you’re planning to do this one trick one time for one group, howsoever genius they may be, trust me, no one can save them from being fooled! It’s that hitting! And then again, first rule of magic- We don’t recreate the magic twice, do we?

The fact that you can slightly mess up with the names and use you owns or names of people that are popular in your country is so cool. The idea can be used in one’s own script. Rick’s Scripting was fantastic but I believe what defines a good magician is doing the tricks their way.
It’s one of those tricks where when you have nothing on you, you can still punch big!

Good Job Rick & Spidey!
