This is a great mentalism trick for kids. I recommend, as I have seen suggested, that the magician
act out, or if you have the skill and time, create a balloon figure of, the animal that the child
has thought of, as part of your reveal.
The underlying method/principle could be used to
create your own cards and routines with different objects or items besides animals. I know a
magician who did so, creating Halloween themed cards to perform at a Halloween haunt.
4
stars, because I did have a problem with the laminated cards being printed and/or laminated a little
off center. Penguin quickly sent a replacement set, but it too had a misprinted card. Luckily, the
misprinted cards in the two sets were different cards, so between the 2 sets I could come up with
one complete set of good cards. So the manufacturer needs to address quality control.
