Description:

Imagine the ability to tell which is a spectator’s card from nothing more than fleeting, unconscious reactions to seeing it amongst several others. This is exactly the illusion you create with “Poker Faced”. Though this mind-twisting feat of psychological magic is 100% impromptu, success is always guaranteed, leaving you free to develop your performance. Presented as a legitimate psychological experiment, this effect will quickly become a regular feature of your close up mental magic routine, with spectators clamouring for a turn.

"I have to say that I really like this effect. It is very versitile, and will happily fit in with anyone's magical style - from "straight" magic to mentalism to bizarre, with just a little imagination you will find a suitable angle to allow Poker Faced to fit right into your routines.

The ebook comes with several suggested presentational styles (including the poker angle that gives the effect its name). I have over the past few days used this effect using all the presentational styles suggested by Tomo, and have also developed a more bizarre presentation using tarot cards. All presentational styles have been well received. Poker Faced is now already a regular effect in my close-up routines.

One other point I have noticed - if you're performing close-up and you are suddenly confronted with some blokes who want to "see some magic", Poker Faced (incorporating the poker angle) is ideal. It's a self-worker, the poker angle makes it a bit blokey, and they'll never figure it out. I had just this situation over the weekend, and where as my usual psychic presentation would have been inappropriate perhaps for a dozen lads on the booze, Poker Faced was absolutely spot-on and I was hailed as a genius. Thanks Tomo!

10/10
