After months of development, The Black Bin, is ready to go!
Based on an idea from Sean Covernton, The Black Bin is a switching/forcing device using one of the most organic & innocent items in the world. Read about it here: www.MentalismTools.com Cheers, Eric |

I used The Black Bin for the first time in a show this Saturday. I did a simple drawing duplication routine, just to test the operating of the bin and to see the reactions from the audience. I was very surprised of the strong reactions I got. Actually it was the biggest reactions in my show that evening.
After the show I analyzed why this happened. It was probably the innocent look of the bin as an everyday object, and that the switch is completely invisible for the audience. So for the audience point of view it was an 100% fair process for selecting an billet they had put in the bin. And finally there is also a BIG difference from forcing information from a book, 50 words you have pre-written or similar, to let the audience freely write down information and seemingly use that information in the show. It makes it much more impossible. The switch is extremely easy to execute. You can also switch back to the audience billets right after the selection. If anyone should question the bin you can then let them see that the billets are all different. That is just an extra safety precaution, but my guess is that you will never be question about this. The Black Bin has endless possibilities and can be used in many different ways. I will use it for a routine I have wanted to do for years, but I have missed the right prop. Now I can finally do the routine thanks to Eric Samuels genius thinking. The Black Bin get my highest recommendations, 10/10. |
