“YOU 100% FOOLED ME! I DID NOT FOLLOW IT!” -PENN JILLETTE

"I've never seen someone do that with razor blades... Very cool!" -Joshua Jay

"I really like Deliberation because it uses a classic principle in a very novel way. You can do some incredible mentalism with a few envelopes, a die and a few other props. The demonstrations and Apollo's explanations make it clear he has lived with this effect and really polished all the routines with practical applications and some very subtle handling tips. What you get is a complete outfit with envelopes for many performances and a couple of dice all nicely packaged. The online instructions cover many applications and are very thorough. All in all, this is a top-notch product which I endorse." -Richard Osterlind

"He's one of the best! It's going to be epic!" -Damien Aditya

Deliberation is an incredible utility device first published by Thomas Henry and has been rediscovered by Apollo Riego. Force or obtain information from a sealed envelope without the use of any specials markings, magnets or sven methods. Deliberation includes 60 envelopes, over 60 minutes of detailed video instructions including 5 full routines that have been performed and tested by Apollo Riego for over 10 years! Deliberation can be used for ANY performance situations whether it's close up or stage! By the way, you can be completely surrounded! GET YOURS TODAY!

Effects:
Papercut: Imagine performing the classic smash and stab effect without needing tables and taking the place of a spike is now an extremely sharp blade! Perfect for close up and walk around! WARNING: PERFORM AT YOUR OWN RISK! MAGICIAN UNLIMITED IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MISHAPS WHEN PERFORMING THIS EFFECT!

Serial Killer: Borrow bills from a bunch of spectators...each member of the audience puts their bill in their envelope...they seal it. A volunteer is called on stage and is now asked to mix the envelopes to randomize. The spectator rolls a die to eliminate one envelope at a time until one is left. The mentalist now takes out a prediction that has been in full view the entire time...the volunteer opens the envelope with the bill inside and is asked to read the serial number...the mentalist's prediction matches the bill's serial number perfectly!

Destination Unknown: Pieces of a map has been cut into a million pieces and is placed inside of a clear container. Each spectator is asked to take one each and place their piece of the map in an envelope then sealed. A volunteer is now asked to collect the envelopes mixes them to randomize. The envelopes are eliminated down to 6 pieces. a number is chosen by the spectator and is asked to count down until they land on one envelope. The envelope is opened and it matches the missing piece of the map that has been hanging in full view the entire time...perfectly!

Bank'd: A squeaky clean rendition of the classic effect bank nite! 6 sealed envelopes are introduced. A volunteer is asked to mix up the envelopes. The magician states that each spectator can choose one envelope for themselves and can keep its contents except for the last one...that one the magician gets to keep. Each envelope is now opened by each spectator...they all have a penny inside. The magician opens his envelope which the spectators left for him...it contains a $100 bill!

Destiny: A great way to obtain someone's phone number or any information with the spectators freely mixing the Deliberation envelopes! Perfect for pitch meetings!

This effect is one of the best of its kind! Easy to pull off, looks super deadly & is totally safe! I bought this a few months ago & have closed my shows religiously with it! Always got an amazing reaction! I even had a heckler the last time I did this a week ago & I still got her scratching her head at the end! It’s perfect! What are y’all waiting for? Add to cart!

Great Product. Report this review

I'm very happy with this product. Your given 5 different routine's but with little imagination you can come up with your own. The gimmick fooled me when I first handled it until I learned the method. Out of the 5 routine's, 2 of my favorites is "Bank'd" & "Destination unknown"....I Love Destination unknown as packs flat but can be done on a large stage. And the props you can get at your local dollar tree. I like Bank'd as you can show the Magician always ends up with the big prize winning envelope, But the spectators can still end up with a smaller prize....The plus with this is the envelopes are smaller which is great to carry around in your pants pockets. The other effects are good and will play well for different performers, But the (2) I mentioned are the one's that I'd use in my show. BTW one effect on the video is "Paper Cut" Apollo states shouldn't be done by a performer under 18. I agree....But also you must pay attention at any age, It's strong effect for close up or stage with razor blade but must pay attention to which envelope the blade is in.

Not just a physical challenge act Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 8th, 2021
This is great as a razor blade smash routine as shown but, do you have Lockey? These envelopes can be usedfor this as well.
Each key is put in an envelope. If you want to number them and do a prediction, fine. But you can also have the spectator choose a lock to lock the box.
Pick the envelopes up and, one by one, discard them through the Lockey box slot (they fit!). You find the envelope with the key that works.

This is definitely a utility prop.

So safe - but be prepared to terrify everyone!! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 15th, 2021
This effect is FANTASTIC. It’s practically self working. Of course when using real razor blades, you always need to be careful. Follow Apollo’s tutorial and you’ll have your audience on the edge of their seat having a panic attack. I’ve performed this quite a few times and it destroys the audience. It’s sooooo good!! Get it now, the easiest no brainer purchase of the year!!

Great Thinking for a great effect... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 30th, 2023
I love this effect. I don't like that you have to buy refills. regardless I will buy them because it plays so well. Did this at my last show and it was non stop fun, suspense and cheering. I used the razor blade routine. 10 gimmicks is just not enough when you factor in practice time.

Great effect Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 22nd, 2022
I never thought of doing an envelope trick with a method im more used to with cards. This method is great but if you plan on crumpling every envelope its pricey, I advise keeping the gimmicks whole.

Very nice. The method is easy and the reactions from the spectators is good. So much more can be done with this, it’s up to one’s imagination. I will definitely add this to my routine.

I've seen smash and stab effects but this tops them all because it has creative possibilities especially with a razor! It's one amazing effect that you will add to your Magic arsenal for years to come. You will definitely get great reactions every single time! Glad I have one❗
