Hi guys. In case you had not seen the thread in the "ebooks" section, I'd like to draw your attention to PSI-POKER. (We have PAID advertising for it in this section, and also in "Latest and Greatest").
PSI-POKER is a triple prediction involving Texas Hold 'em. Its not HEAVY MENTALISM, rather it's a fun item with a deck of cards and a prediction. It uses an ancient principle that has not been applied in this way before. Historians, such as my friend Max Maven, have confirmed this. Here's the burb. PSI-POKER by Ben Harris PSI-POKER is the latest creation from Ben Harris (co-creator of 2010’s hit “X-RAY”). This new effect is TOTALLY SELF-WORKING, requiring no skill or gaffs. The secret is ancient, but it’s NEVER been used in this manner before. Magic’s leading historians and card experts have confirmed this claim. So, what is PSI-POKER? The effect is a MULTIPLE PREDICTION of how a game of “Texas Hold ‘em” will play out from a shuffled deck. You hand a prediction to a spectator for safe-keeping BEFORE you introduce a deck of cards. The prediction is NEVER again touched by the performer. The deck is shuffled, and another spectator is asked to DECIDE WHERE the cards should be dealt from. He cuts the deck to do this, OR HE CAN SIMPLY POINT TO ANY SPOT IN THE DECK. His choice is FREE. It is emphasized that HIS DECISION will ultimately decide the fate of the game. Now, two hands are dealt: one for the spectator, and one for the performer. The game plays out in an exciting manner. Ultimately, it is a very close game. The spectator ALMOST forms a winning straight but JUST MISSES by ONE PESKY CARD. The prediction is now read and it SUCCESSFULLY predicts: 1. Who will win the game and how. 2. That the spectator will ALMOST form a straight 3. The EXACT CARD that the spectator was looking for to complete his straight. It’s a triple prediction which describes HOW THE GAME played out AND THE EXACT CARD that the spectator was looking for! It’s quite an impossible moment. Remember, the spectator could have decided to deal the cards from ANY POINT in the deck! IMPORTANT POINTS: 1. The result is DIFFERENT each time. This means that PSI-POKER can be used in situations like walk-around, table-hopping, or on the streets. 2. There are NO GAFFS OF ANY KIND. This uses a SINGLE deck of playing cards and a SINGLE prediction ONLY! 3. NO POKER KNOWLEDGE is required. This has been designed to play for ANY audience. It will be fully understood and comprehended by poker players and NON players. If poker is your thing, then you can ENHANCE the procedure with appropriate terminology. It’s all up to you. 4. The prediction is not tampered with in any way. You hand it out BEFORE you begin and you NEVER touch it again. The spectator opens and reads the prediction. 5. The spectators DEAL the cards at all times. Once the effect has begun you NEED NOT TOUCH THE CARDS AT ALL. What they are saying about PSI-POKER "Extremely clever thinking, and a timely effect, given the interest in Texas Hold-Em.” --Tom Baxter (Canada) "What a great routine. I think you have discovered new hidden properties of the @#%*!, and you have created something special.” --Peter Duffie (Scotland) "What I LOVE about this is, it's as fair as the description. You have no manipulation over the deck at all AND it's a normal, standard deck of cards. The book is incredibly in depth and the routine is absolute gold. This could fit in from close up/ walk around to parlor or stage. It's a strong routine which really looks about as fair as you could make it.” --Jamie Daws (U.K.) "PSI Poker is a fantastic idea. The game itself is very popular.The handling is so natural. I like everything about it.” --Steve Dusheck (U.S.A) "I love it! A brilliant twist on an old secret. Would've never thought of it in a million years!” Jason Messina (U.S.A) PSI-POKER could well be the self-worker of 2011. You’ll have so much fun performing this. Texas Hold ‘em is a HOT topic, and PSI-POKER lets you relate in and AMAZE without lifting a finger. Anytime you have a deck of cards and a piece of paper (for the prediction) you are ready to go! The secret is one you already know (it’ ancient), but it’s just not been used like this before. Order now and amaze!

Finally got to read Benny's new release, Psi Poker. It is exactly as he's described and I like it a lot. While the basic principle is classic, the presentation and handling are what make this a real worker. It is, without doubt, something I will be using in my impromptu work.
Thanks for putting this out Benny! Bob Cassidy |

If it's good enough for Bob it's good enough for me. I'm a big time 'poker' type of guy anyhow... Thanks for the news, Ben, and you were right. Had you not posted here I would have missed it. |

This is very cool and suits a number of contexts in which I have been performing. It also blends in well with other routines you might be doing as well, so you can move seemlessly from mind reading to a poker prediction, and combine this with a presentation on the psychology of poker, body language, tells, etc.
The thinking is great as ever, and the MS gives you a lot of subtleties and versions. Ben is a great thinker and his latest releases are excellent. The price is right as well! Regards Dr Todd |

You can still grab a pre-release copy for just $15.00 from http://www.wowbound.com Marc Paul, renowned mentalist, has just had this to say about PSI-POKER: "Ben has discovered something quite amazing about Texas Hold'em and #######. Using that discovery he has created a very clean, hands off effect. This is a lovely gambling themed prediction that taps into the popularity of the world's most famous card game. It's an incredibly easy but powerful effect." --Marc Paul. We think that you'll agree that this SELF-WORKER is gas. Pre-orders will be delivered within 24 hours. Cheers Ben Harris

This is a great effect, especially for those that want to entertain a crowd of poker friends. It is really well done. Great thinking, Ben. I warn you though....maybe no one will want to play poker with you after this....or maybe your bluffing will now always work!

I just received this as well. I like the effect a lot and am looking forward to trying it out at my weekly poker game.
I'm already not allowed to shuffle without two people cutting afterwards. |

Hi Ben, I'm finally going to be buying X-Ray today and there's something I'd like to ask about it. Is it instantly repeatable without a reset? I'm doing a restuarant gig and I'd like to have something that will completely fry people. Hope you're doing well and look forward to learning this effect.
Sincerely, Matthew |
