I am very proud of what Elmwood Magic did with my effect.

http://www.elmwoodmagic.com/full/__12094.htm

Blurb:

Paul Richards and Elmwood Magic are proud to present Pablo Amira's NAKED!
You approach the audience with a “naked” deck of cards. The deck is shown to be blank both back and front. A spectator is asked to name a card - any card - a completely free choice. The cards are spread through once more and a single back appears nestled among the sea of blanks.

The card is turned over to reveal - the spectator's selection!

No force of any kind.
No rough and smooth.
No difficult moves.

Just pure magic.

Comes complete with special deck, additional gaff cards, and a detailed instructional dvd.

Hope that you can get this product, and enjoy it Smile

Thanks paperinick and RNK for your comments

In my repertoire I don't do much card material, but in this piece you leave a clear image (pun intended) that is easy to remember to the audience.

This reminds me of an effect called C.A.N.N.A.B.I.S . The last one was a combination of ACAAN with the plot of having the selected card appear in a deck of white cards.

If we eliminate the ACAAN part, they look pretty much identical.

Since you're still using a gaffed deck what is the advantage of this version over the nudist/mental photography deck for half the price or less?

Hi Harrismatic. I don't know that effect. The only thing that I know that this work is original and Elmwood Magic produce them with great quality and respect of previous releases.

Hope that those who can compare between the 2 products, can share their own opinion.

BTW, My original handling with this deck was purely a prediction of a named card on a blank deck. From the trailer you can see that the effect is more close to Magic than Mentalism (the participant´s imagination print the thought of card).
So anyone with doubts about this product being purely for Mentalists, you will get some cool ideas that can add your repertoire more options Smile

Hi Dr.
I am don't really sure if with the Mental Photography Deck you can create the same effect that you can do with "Naked"

While I love CANNABIS, it has got a small problem as you can not "hand out" the card at the end. Not really a big problem but if at "Naked" the card can be given away that would be great.

Hand out the card ? Why would you do that?

In my effect the named card cannot be given away, but I don't see that factor as important when I construct this deck.

My requirements were:
1. No table required
2. Short Reset (2 secs )
3. Easy to use mechanically

"Naked" fulfill my requirements. I perform in the real world and give away cards isn't essential, at least on my work.

If the performer performs this piece correctly, the audience and participant(s) will not care about the cards itself as a part of the method of the effect.
Let them enjoy the magic as an internal experience is essential to any magic/mentalism. Props are just vehicles that don't need to be important.
At least this is my opinion based on my experience.

I agree, there is zero need to hand out the card in an affect like this. It's not like something amazing happened to the card physically. It's an image. No one would need or really want to examine the card.

You just showed them that a card which was blank on both sides now has printing on both sides and you don't think people will want to examine the card?

I have no issue with saying that audience management is important for a lot of things, but to say that people won't want to look at this card is incorrect in my opinion.

If you think so, it´s your opinion barts185. In my experience with this effect NO ONE tries to reach the deck or ask me about the card.

Why?

Because all is in my control on performance. I direct the attention to what it´s important to them to focus. The EXPERIENCE of mystery is far more important to the physical prop used.

The deck isn't examinable and if someone has problem with that factor, I consider for them 2 paths:

1.Dont try this effect
2. Try the effect and realize that focusing the attention out of the prop is possible.

Mental photography deck doesn't allow the choice of a certain card. It only allows a card to appear, then what appears to be a full deck, then back to blanks as it was from the start.

This sounds closer to a brainwave deck with blanks but no r and s.

I love it Pablo, I think it looks great and the handling looks very fair!

In regards to handing out the card afterwards, I wouldn't see that as an issue at all... Its just a normal card as far as the audience will be concerned, why would they want to examine it?! :S

I never hand props out for examination, sometimes props end up in the spectator's hands during performance, but I don't make a big deal of it - You're the magic, the props should feel irrelevant.

Hi the Sponge, although similar, my effect and David´s The Deja Vu Deck are different. His effect has different moments and a printing revelation at the end, assuming that this is the effect that you mention http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wissi2YQTAA
