Was it by someone who has actually read and understood TH? Was it a one off effect? Had the performer already established credibility? Some effects are very dependent on context and presentation. Like many mental effects, TH is one of them. That doesn't make it a poor effect, and certainly doesn't mean that it's obvious to audiences. It means that it's not for everyone. |

One performance was the Alakazam video. Shown four times to four separate folks. Another (which I was not referring to below was a member here who shared an MP4 of his own performance and it was shown to two other friends that had a similar reaction to myself and once the choice about whether to tell the truth question was asked, each had a very good idea of what was coming. It was clear that enough information was revealed to determine the hand. Pretty much all of us as kids had heard the puzzle about the need to choose a fork in the road with only one question but not knowing if the person you are asking is telling the truth or not. I have also been kindly sent some private performances (one via PM) and asked not to share those. No disrespect intended but while one added some extra layers and context, none weren't pretty obvious.

You guys must be way more analytical than me. I watched the Alakazam exposure before it was pulled and had no idea how it worked and didn't give it much thought. Even though I have now purchased it and done it several times I still haven't given much thought as to how it works - all I know is that it works if you follow the instructions. I haven't had a spectator yet who has told me that he knows how it works - if they did I would get them to explain it to me!
