The menu provided is quality. You can build this effect into a theater type presentation based on just a menu. Some memory work is required, but is not difficult and the menu items can trigger the next step as you progress through the menu. This was a good purchase as an entertaining mentalism routine to add to the show.

This is a great effect and recently was on Fool Penn and Teller. The ONLY issue is that the result is always the same.

Love performing this! Audience participation always gives an “air” of fairness. Such a strong fooler! Easily adaptable to any sponsor’s situation and your own patter & style. Stands alone, or can be a closer. Highest quality and straightforward instructions.

This is a good trick and the props are high quality. You can make a great routine with this. I knocked off one star because some of the menu choices are a bit odd. Things nobody has heard of and hard to pronounce. I could see a spectator being a tad embarrassed about not saying an item correctly.

A variation of this fooled Penn & Teller! It got me, too, but later I figured out the principle, though not all of it.

A well-made multipage menu lists foods in various categories from appetizers to desserts and selection of coffees, this being the only variation from what I saw, coffee being substitituted for brandies and wines.

The spectator picks an item from each category while a second spectator adds up the cost. When done, the tip is added with the helper deciding on 15% or 20%.

A prediction is shown at the beginning and it matches the choices and total. Variant revelation is suggested.
