Omen was one of the highlights from Blackpool and I understand why.
This is a worker, the effect is super clean and I'm sure you guys are going to love it! More info: http://www.murphysmagic.com/product.aspx?id=61809 Best regards, Titanas

Is this a re release?
I have something very similar with Richard Bellars on the demo. |

Is one envelope used as shown in the demo or is it multiple outs ? Tom

This is what I was thinking of.

Icontact is a classic.

Not keen on multiple outs or the Sv dribble or cut force as it’s not always 100% reliable especially with a badly cut deck . Better versions are possible to make yourself with Ddeckers or the smart a.s principle and a reg deck I believe Tom

This is an update of icontact that resolves the compromise with the freely named card. The smart ass princip;e would not be suitable for this effect and not really sure double deckers would be as good as a solution. As far as the principle not being 100% reliable, I demmed sevens well over 100 times a day for at least a tear never had a single failure, in all my years using icontact and now Omen as well as other effects using this principle I’ve never had a single failure. If you fail with a Sven deck you either have an extemely badly cut deck or poor technique.

As far as the effect goes I carry this everywhere and it gets incredible reactions. I use the envelopes from Harpacrown and a H***er wallet so that the prediction is up front from the start. I loved icontact but this just takes it to the next level and the reveal really hits hard.

Saw this at Blackpool & Peter demmed this on me.
Watched it & knew what was happening & then he hit me with the unexpected ending. Needless to say I bought it & use it. Chris Congreave never lets me down & this is a worker. Excellent Chris & thanks Peter for producing this. Alakazam are great. Mike Donoghue |

Comparing the effect and its WOW factor between Icontact & Omen, I personally feel Omen is the better of the two.

Does this come pre-printed, or is a little prep required?

I carried icontact around with me for at least three years, went through at least 3 decks....I’ve had this for a couple of months and icontact has been put to bed! This is brilliant, it solves the one compromise that icontact had...when I’m performing to Just a couple of people I bring my parapad into play, instead of asking the first spectator to name any card I get them to think of a card and write it down so only they know what it is.... this makes for an even more impossible reveal at the end. I actually carry this in my little door box so I have 2 fantastic effects with the deck instead of just one,

I’ll stick with icontact only as it’s more compact. Both as strong as each other imo.

Hi folks, I use this a lot, as well as the free choice at the start, you also get some much free-er displays of face and back at the start. I carry the necessary in my normal wallet which is out before the effect begins. Gets great reactions for me. I hope you enjoy it.

Mark I also can cut 100% every time to the force card on a decent Sven deck . I was referring to the spectator cutting and I have sometimes had them miss it so maybe a poorly I contact deck I had then . It’s the spectator who has to cut in this effect not the magician I believe Tom
