I like, collect, and use a lot of these "which hand" or 50/50 routines. I'm pretty sure that I have
most of them so I wasn't surprised how this one works. After all, there are only so many ways to
predict a 50/50 proposition in mentalism. But this one is clever. Extremely clever and it will
fool laypeople. The premise is slightly different. The mentalist predicts which hand the spectator
will use to grab a $100 bill off the table. If the mentalist is wrong, he's out $100. But of
course, we all know that this is a foolproof method and that will never happen.
What I
especially liked about Andrew's method is that it has some wonderful subtleties, making it difficult
for a spectator to reverse engineer the method. He says that he has been doing this routine
effectively for 20 years. I believe him. While it's not your showstopper, it's original, cool, and
only $10, a bargain. I like it a lot, and am adding it to my set.
