I really, really like this trick. The method is brilliant, and the magazine production is first
class. You can tell they put a lot of work into it. On the instructional video, there is even a
routine mention that has the magician coming into the room after the spectator has already picked up
the magazine and started reading one of the articles. That's how well these magazines are made. They
will slip completely under the radar without the spectator noticing anything unusual.
The
thing that surprised me the most is how this effect just completely blows people away. I have never
been a big fan of mentalism effects, but this one is very convincing, and seems very fair because
the spectator gets a free choice, and they never even tell you what page they're on.
Best
of all, it's very easy to carry, and uses everyday objects. So nothing seems even remotely
suspicious.
I do recommend getting the combo with two magazines like I did because each
magazine has a small crib sheet at the back of the magazine, that will make doing the trick easier
since you won't have to memorize anything.
