Magic Tricks

I've performed many versions of the Mental Choice effect and this is obviously a great one, but I wanted to applaud the honest advertising for this. The inventors show you each and every out in their ad for the trick, so you can evaluate its effectiveness BEFORE you purchase. This is such a rare thing in Magic! Congratulations!

Bonus idea: Wear a bracelet of the five lucky charms. On the back of one is engraved "YOU WILL CHOOSE THIS ONE!" and on the backs of the others it says "Not this one!" Use as an additional out for the out you least like.

Second bonus idea: Alternate the five "hot" charm cards (provided) with five different charm cards you've fabricated to match their appearance. Ask your spectator to eliminate half of them by calling out ODD or EVEN. Give her the choice of counting from the left or right end. Equivoque her choice: If she says even and wants to count from the right end, either push the even numbered charms towards her (if they are the hot 5) or pull the even ones towards you (if they are not the hot 5). Important: In the next selection round, have her either pull 3 of the 5 cards towards her or push 2 away from her, depending on what was done in the first round, so that it all appears consistent. Keep going until she's chosen one. Show the prediction.
