And the award for most aptly named trick of 2011 goes to.. American magician Ryan Schlutz!
In brief, three cards are haphazardly selected in an incredibly fair manner, the selections are then revealed with equal fairness alongside a 'senses' presentation, this is strong! The method/s used combine a mixed array of old, underground techniques & choreographs them beautifully with a loose handling & off hands approach to make all of these ploys almost invisible (even when in the know!) & magician fooling!
As the margin for any suspicious actions is near non-existent, the presentation lends itself perfectly to really mystify the spectators & convince them that your demonstrating a true feat of sensory perception. In the performance clip (probably due to time constraints) each card is found reasonably quickly but there is huge opportunity to really slow each revelation down & create a memorable finale.
So above are the pros, how about cons.. well for such a great trick it feels mean to fine comb & point out what are only minor points, but as a rounded review it's only fair that you know (without exposing) exactly what your money gets you. Depending on your skill level & performance intention these points might be irrelevant. Firstly the amount of table space needed isn't regularly available in a table hoppers environment. Secondly the trick isn't 100% impromptu as you'll need a set-up, however it's really quite minimal & easily achievable for experienced card guys to attain on the fly.
Overall a first class effect, I'm looking forward to using this one, thanks Ryan! Highly recommended.
