I just bought this trick and I love it. I bought it at Hanklee's website. It cost m $25 and the meathod of this trick has been used before. But this trick is still amazing and worth every penny. Here's the effect:
Mastermind Chris Kenworthey's Mastermind may not be the 8th Wonder of the World, but it sure is one strong piece of mental magic! A registered and notarized envelope is mailed to the chairman of the show committee 7 days before your show. Inside the envelope is a single playing card with a blue back. Nothing else. The chairman is to keep the envelope in his possession and let no one tamper with it. On the night of your show, a red-backed deck of cards is freely shown. Each of the cards is absolutely different. The deck is honestly shuffled and cut. The deck quite honestly appears ordinary in every respect. It is openly ribbon spread face up on the table, showing that each card is different. Once the chairman is satisfied that the cards are thoroughly mixed, they are ribbon spread face down, allowing for an absolutely free choice of any card. Any card may be chosen. The card is removed from the deck and turned face up. Let's say it is the three of hearts. The chairman himself opens the prediction envelope, which is still in his possession, and removes the one card inside. It is the Three of Hearts! The impossible has just occurred! Remember: No forcing of any kind is ever employed; No roughed cards; No duplicate cards; No stacked arrangements; No switching of envelopes or cards; Prediction card is actually in the envelope fur the entire week; Can be done over the telephone; No sleight of hand required; No long or short cards. I know it sounds too good to be true. But, Mastermind is exactly as described. It is very good! Note: Once you purchase Mastermind, you will also be able to perform Chris' Any Card at Any Number routine! Any question reply back or PM me. Thanks......

>this is the same as the Mastermind Deck,
>right? ( i hope this is'nt a stupid >question...) It can't be. The Mastermind Deck can't be performed over the phone; you have to reveal the card the spectator pushes forward from the ribbon spread. |

The effect as described here was the Mastermind deck, no phone was mentioned.
This is old, but good. I got mine from Al Cohen years ago. At the time Al was also able to supply a straight deck to match.Pity it wasn't made on Bicycle cards. I came up with a great routine with this deck (though the routines given are great anyway.) But the description by Skitch is not 100% accurate, the deck can NOT be ribbon spread face up on the table AFTER being honestly shuffled AND cut. Not sure I like the idea of posting someone a card, lol. A headline prediction maybe but a card? Don't recall that from the original instructions, (maybe I tried to forget). No force is used is not strictly accurate either, though is is a free choice of card. This IS a great trick deck, recommended. Personally I wish no-one knew about it. Paul. |

Bernstein's does, apparently from the ads. Does anyone own the Psi-Deck? I would like to know if there are modifications that can be made to the 3-person routine. Could you just do the count-down to the 2 of Spades at any card revelation? It sounds impressive, although quite expensive and the rubber-band peek is a bit suspicious. The Mastermind Deck is great, except for not having Bicycle backs. I've found it amazing when you tell the spectator to turn over your prediction you've had on the table all along and you will reveal the card they selected, "on the count of three ... one ... two ... " and you turn them over to reveal the 3 of Hearts and finish the count at the same time. Brian |
