Absoultey, positively, my new all time favorite trick.
I know most will love the jazz
mentalism routine but for me, Pocket calculator is genius - hands down one of the best tricks I've
ever performed - why? For a couple of reasons, first, at one point during the trick the only thing
that is visible is the prediction card you mention that is laying face down on the table - this
allows for an incredible personal experience before revealing the spectators choice.
Second, even when they think they're onto you, they are blown away by the reveal at the end.
Third, you CAN repeat this trick on the same person with the same exact prediction card and
they will be blown away.
I gave pocket calculator a weeks worth of work before performing
it and it paid off big time. Listen, I'm barely an average magician, I'm a lazy magician (as I keep
repeating in my reviews) I love gimmicks in general and wit that said, I shocked a very good
magician with this one - I just had to practice it after reading how to do it - I had to put in some
effort because I loved how well the secret works.
I love this packet trick - one of the
best magic purchases I've ever made.
