The Square Deal by Leonard Rangel
Many of us have played around with magic squares over the years, with varying degrees of success. I, myself, used a magic routine in my stage shows for well over a year, and was happy with the results, but there was something missing from my routine that I could not quite sort out. Enter “The Square Deal” by Leonard Rangel. This is a very clever take on magic squares. It requires no complicated memorization or use of electronics. It does require a minimal amount of arts & crafts work to create a gimmick that you need, but it is something so simple anyone can do it –really. Mr. Rangel’s algorithm for the square is something of his own creation – and I can tell you that is very simple to remember and execute. The effect in his own words: “The Mentalist invites a person from the audience to help him on stage, after a brief session of revelations about his person, the mentalist asks him to think of somebody who has influenced his life and to write down some information of this people in a small blank card that is given to her and then placed neatly in an envelope that will be at all times in full view of the public. Then the mentalist will proceed to reveal some information about that person in an unconventional way but with a lot of impact for the public.” I absolutely love the fact that “The Square Deal” allows you to bring several things “personal” to the spectator into the creation of the square and the ultimate number derived. So, yes, I consider this mentalism, without a doubt. This was what was missing from my routine and I thank Mr. Rangel for allowing me the opportunity to put that personal touch into my shows. I cannot say more without risk of revealing methods. This effect (pdf) is quite a bargain at $17, and it has lots of photos illustrating his points. Two thumbs up. Preston Heller |
