This is the very definition of "packs small plays big". You can use this as a close-up effect or
part of a larger stage show. There is one "move" if you can call it that, and it's the easiest thing
in the world done on the offbeat. This effect can be adapted to use 6x9 envelopes if you are careful
and work with larger groups, though the "move" will have to be different and done at a different
time. And yes, it's all examinable at the end.
Using the standard envelopes included (and
you can replace them with a quick trip to the office supply store), the entire routine fits in a
coat pocket. It's all presentation, and it's very entertaining. Also, you can easily create backups
of the routine so you can have it ready to go in your close-up case and your stage case. You'll have
to replace a few envelopes each time you do it, but it's a minor thing. Definitely worth the money
if you need a mentalism routine for your act.
