Simon Lipkin, star of Derren Brown's Unbelievable, has concocted a diabolically sneak set of gimmicks that allow you to achieve jaw dropping colour prediction effects using no expensive and no sleight of hand! The gimmicks are devious, the effects are mighty, and now they can finally be yours.

For many years Simon performed colour match routines using secret electronics, but after they malfunctioned during the heat of an important performance, he strived to find a superior way. He got to work making lemonade from lemons, or in Simon's case, making magic from markers. He emerged from his workshop with a close-up utility system that can achieve near-identical effects as their expensive, high-tech counterparts.

The box includes everything you need to begin performing the effects right away, including three Sharpie markers, the devious gimmicks, long lasting black Tyvek envelopes, and small piece of card (billets) for your predictions. Best of all, if the pens run out of ink, no problem. There are inexpensive refills, and you can replace them with ease from your local stationery supply store.

In the detailed, online video instructions you will learn:

Simon Lipkin's Signature Colour Match Routine

A participant chooses any pen at random and uses it to colour in a pre-dawn image. This is repeated a total of three times until a completely random colour combination has been created. Each stage feels so free and so fair yet, impossibly you are able to predict the outcomes of their choices with 100% accuracy.

Originally credited to Tony Anverdi and later popularized by Craig Filicetti, the colour match plot is a modern classic, and now it's your turn to perform this reputation maker with ease.

Three Will

You introduce three pens, each clapped with a black lid. While your back is turned, your participant places each pen in a different pocket. You can explain that despite their black black appearance, each pen is actually a different colour. From your right pocket you produce a red lid, from your left pocket, a green lid, and from your back pocket, blue. Remarkably, when the participant takes the pens out of their pockets and uncaps them, they discover they've matched the same colours to the same pockets.

Colour Dupe

Your participant chooses any pen and draws any picture in secret while your back is turned. Despite both decisions being completely free choices, you are able to not only reveal the colour of the pen they used to draw but reveal (or duplicate) their entire drawing!

Chenvelope Test

Three pens, three cards, three envelopes and three participants. All of the props are mixed and lots of choices made. Yet despite the fairness, you are able to prove that you knew the outcome of all events way ahead of time in this baffling close-up mentalism routine inspired by the traditional Chair Test plot.

We were originally going to leave it there (because that's already insane value), but six months later Simon called us with even more ideas! So, we invited him back to the studio to teach amazing bonus content including a draw anything colour match effect and a sensational chair test contribution from master mentalist Marc Paul.

Strap in for an entertaining and enlightening journey of (quite literally) colourful mentalism from one of the most exciting new names in magic.
Perform professional-grade, top-tier mentalism without the hefty price tag.

Such a quality trick and quality filming and sound
video instructions. Simon's humour (UK English spelling purposely) He gets away with "Tricolour,"right? Anyway,
it's fun to watch his patter, conversation and interactions. You can't help but laugh."When we were little baby boppers..." Total overkill on the box the contents come in! The gold letter printing,sponge gimmick storage spaces - The way the whole package is created is a 10! There is just so much you can do with this trick. What's cool is whatever Simon shows us, our minds automatically give ideas for something else. I don't think there is anything this effect can't do, or "simulate" that the "expensive" electronic remote tricks can. Excellent thinking and production Simon, Thank you for offering it to the magic community at a great price. Well worth it. And a "humble" fee at that :-)

Killer...nice job, Simon and 1914.

I see other reviewers for other tricks say, "please don't buy this". I would say Tricolor is one of those tricks.

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 13th, 2024
I held off on submitting a review for a long time. I kind of wanted this to lay low because it's that good. I used to be a magician, but now I'm a pure mentalist. I think mentalism is all about the thinking and the presentation and not about the tricks so I didnt think finger flingers would want this. Magic is instant BOOM in and out.
The ideas that came from this reach no end. I love when stuff is customizable because it seems more authentic because it's your creativity that can take this to the next level. You won't figure out the gimmicks until you watch the video. Its soooo well hidden. I'd feel 100% confident letting people check the markers out but like any gimmick eventually they'll see some though highly, HIGHLY unlikely. I d o it care about packaging-it's getting thrown away. What I do care about is the quality of the product...the teaching, gimmicks, etc. This is a 10/10 for me. This is 5/5 for ease of use. 5/5 for quality gimmicks and instruction.

Tri-cool Routine Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 26th, 2024
Although it seems that everyone has beaten the color match theme to death, this one has promise as it is not electronic and parts are easily replaced. If you need a simple, pocketable Routine them this can be the one. I gave it four star only because I feel it is overpriced, and most of the expense of producing this item is in the packaging itself.

TriColour failure Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 21st, 2024
The set I received had 1 envelope made wrong so the cards didn't fit. But the worst part is that 1 of the 3 markers had an obvious difference in the body of the pen which completely kills the effect because that is where the spectator will look for marks. I ordered new pens from Amazon and still could not find 3 pens that matched in body.

Great - non electronic, no moving parts Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 20th, 2024
I own an electronic version and the mechanical version from the other guys...This is the best and cheapest.

Electronic versions need to charged and can fail at the worst moment. When the markers dry out it can be an issue.

The "other guy's" mechanical version can be difficult to read in low light. You also have to have them handle it twice. Also it uses small color balls that are easy to lose.

If the pens dry out, just replace with other sharpies. The only real issue I have with this is the sharpies look real so they are easy to lose. My first set I left on my desk at work and someone stole them- thinking they were just regular Sharpies I imagine. It comes with 3 colors with the possibility of easily adding a forth pretty easy. The electronic and mechanical versions use 5 different colors which, IMHO, drags a bit.

This effect goes into my pocket every time I head out to perform. Most of the time, this is my opener and people Love It! So far I have only performed Three Will but I am setup to perform an effect based on one of Simon's final ideas - I call it Sunrise/Sunset

What a great piece of mentalism! There are more expensive electronic options of this effect on the market. But, the versatility and ease of this effect makes it super fun to learn.
