Whiteboard Monte by Leo Smetsers – VIP

Whiteboard Monte by Leo Smetsers (3874)

White Board Monte’ is similar to Leo Smetsers’ 3-shell game, but with a much more commercial angle. A game of luck where the spectator is being challenged to follow a specific disk. That disk can have the spectator’s name, a company logo, or anything engaging which can be written or drawn on white board. What the spectator doesn’t know is that the success of his choice is controlled by the performer!

The three disks are shown and then mixed up. Despite the spectator being 100% certain of his choice, ‘his’ disk will magically be in a different place than expected.

Ease of handling is made possible by the rubber ring around the disks which guarantees an optimal grip and makes sure that even ‘difficult moves’ are a piece of cake.

Hologram by David Stone

Image result for hologram by david stone

The spectator freely chooses a card that is “marked” on the back with a yellow sticker. You clearly lose the card in the deck and shuffle.

Then you explain that you are going to make the card appear on the top… and thanks to the sticker, everyone will see it !

Indeed, with no suspicious movement, the sticker seems gradually appear on the top of the deck! It even looks like a hologram, as if it was unreal. The only problem is… the sticker appeared in red! Whatever, you just snap the fingers and the sticker turns into yellow ! It changes color instantly and on demand ! And to prove that this is the same card as earlier, you immediately give it for examination !

Originally created by the French magician Sandy, David Stone has bought the rights a few years ago and completely re-designed the gimmick. Although already spectacular, the original effect was not convenient in professional situations. David worked to solve all its weaknesses with the resistance of the gimmick as a priority.

Darkwave ESP Deck Trick by Adam Cooper

Darkwave ESP Deck - magic

Every card in this fully-customized ESP deck features a traditional ESP symbol (in Red or Black), a random word and a high-quality image printed on the face. This beautiful design was carefully constructed to look like a genuine scientific testing tool, as if they were taken directly from an organization that was actually testing extra sensory perception.

However, this is just the beginning…

Masterfully hidden within the back of every card is a deceptive marking system that allows you to quickly identify both the symbol and color of the card. Then, using Adam’s devious secondary system, you will be able to reveal both the word AND the picture.

To your spectator, each phase gets progressively more impossible and impressive. Yet, for you, all you need is one brief glance at the crystal-clear marking system to learn all this information. You can turn a single selection into a mind-blowing effect.
