Such a good trick. I'm a beginner and I mess up tricks a lot. I mean I am bad. But I was able to
pull off this trick and just kill with it. The method is simple, but the images and associations it
creates in the mind of the spectator as well as developing a proper routine for it makes for a
strong effect. And I was able to do that, and I suck.
Not entirely inspectable, depends on
what the spectator chooses, so I use it as an opener for other mentalism effects. Some choices are
better than others, but if one listens to the tips on the DVD the best choice really does get chosen
most of the time. But if the weak choice gets chosen, the effect is still okay and gets a nice
reaction, but have a strong follow up.
Objectively I should give it 4 stars bc it's not too
inspectable, but I love doing it, I carry it everywhere I go, it's a worker for me, it gets a 5.

You know what I love most about this trick?
The story...
It's such an interesting
premise to the audience and they are really engaged. Now, if you don't KNOW who these "killers" are
you really need to check them out on some NetFlix spree because they will bring up memories with
people and they WILL want to talk to you about them. It's okay :-) That's what a good close-up trick
does! It promotes connections.
Also you learn a VERY valuable lesson in magic/mentalism
through this. For some reason this lesson is dismissed by a lot of people but clearly can lead you
down a GREAT road.
I've owned this for a few years and still love it. That's saying
something.

I love small packet style tricks and this one works well, especially with guys since they tend to
know the movies represented well. Super easy also. If you want something you can carry with you in
a jacket pocket which you can do in a moments notice, this is one for you. The props are pretty
nice also not cheap paper cards etc. so this should last you a lifetime.

This is a great little performance piece. It's short and sweet and is fun to perform as well as to
watch. Take up little pocket space too.

Let me begin by saying that this item is very well made. The wallet provided is very nice, and the
cards will last a lifetime!
The effect itself is very easy to do, in fact it's practically self
working AND it fits in your pocket! A very fun routine to do that it has commercial appeal built
right in. With Killer Elite Pro you now have a strong mentalism piece that you can carry with you,
and perform anywhere, anytime under ANY conditions.

A bit pricey, but the cards are top quality and the wallet is well made. I like the premise, but I
think the movies are too dated; don't think people nowadays know half of these bad guys. They should
keep the gangsters relevant; I wouldn't mind at all buying an updated set of cards. Overall, very
easy to perform, no sleights, quick reset, not recommended to repeat to the same crowd or they'll
figure it out.

It's simple, direct, and makes your spectator look like s/he has ESP.

I really love Andy Nyman (actor, comedian, magician, producer, etc.) and Killer Elite Pro is great
quick & dirty magic. All of the items are top drawer quality and will last a lifetime. I'm no
spring chicken and can easily relate to the four lead characters and movies. (The movies are pretty
much for those of us 40 and older.) I enjoy using my own patter to add a bit to the characters and
the movies represented. I'm strictly an amateur but this effect is easily learned right out of the
box. My biggest surprise after performing it for several family & friends is they almost always
pick the Travis Bickle character as the survivor. Highly recommended.
I was aware of 'Killer' but purchased this to give me a more transportable self-contained effect.
It did not disappoint. Quality set.
Great/fun little effect :)
I can see how some folks might dislike this, but I love it.
Great
responses from spectators.
