A deck of cards. Nothing more, nothing less. Any card is named. It will be the only one marked with an X. This is what your spectator will experience and it will rock them! This Is The Chosen.

The Chosen is just one of the performance pieces on this DVD from TONY CHRIS. You will learn several methods for the "X" marked card that will leave your audience stunned! This DVD also features live performances, useful tips, other ideas with The Chosen deck, an in depth discussion about the psychology of The Chosen effect and very detailed explanations showing you all the work behind these wonders.

Also includes routines by special guests Matthew Johnson and Martin Waring, who offer their Gothic take on The Chosen. Enjoy the following performances:

• BIRTHDAY WISHES is a fantastic and fun routine where the spectator's birthday will determine the only card in the deck with a special birthday message.
• DOWN FOR THE COUNT is a great routine where the spectator names any number between 1 - 52. That random number is counted to in the deck. The card that is at their number is revealed to be the only one that is marked with an X.
• SHADOW is exactly that. A spectator chooses a card. It is lost in the deck and they make a shadow of an X with their fingers on the back of the shuffled cards. Their shadow will find the selected card because the shadow always knows.
• RING A RING A ROSES is Martin Waring's medieval tale about the black death (The Plague) and how the nursery rhyme came to be. Each card in the deck represents a house in a village. Any card is named and it ends up having the plague cross on it.
• WHITECHAPEL is Matthew Johnson's magical rhyming tale that is dark and Gothic. Mystery, murder and the elusive one they call Jack The Ripper are all in play here. The murders began in Whitechapel, England but the mystery is solved by a deck of cards, a magician and the spectator who plays a detective and finds the killer!
• E.X.P. is a live performance using 2 peoples' minds to create one "psychic" ending.
• 2PENDOUS is another live routine using 2 decks for a powerful, mindblowing climax!
• BONUS EFFECT Destiny's Number by Justin James Shaffer and TONY CHRIS. A spectator's name, a deck of cards and numerology become an amazing experience!
