With this, you have to go through all the cards they cut off, fail at doing what you said you'd do, then reveal their movie. I'd rather just peak and reveal... (And remember - with this method, you also have to reset after the trick. And 20-30 seconds is way too much, I'm not going to stand around and reset a packet of cards, I finish one group and move onto the next.) The second phase is nice, but it's most likely always the same movie. |

Resetting is not a deal-killer for me at all, but if phase 2 is always the same movie then that certainly kills it for me unfortunately (obviously everyone performs differently so I’m not implying it’s a bad thing for everyone - just for my requirements). Since nobody seems willing to answer that, I’ll have to assume it is the same each time.

I think I know how the last phase works, but my method would imply that Phil was lying when he said he wasn't sure why they got him to design custom cards lol. So I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and say I must be wrong.

I hope that the "force" for the second phase unst always "rear window". It is a oretty obscure movie for today's audiences (yes a classic)

I suspect that a slightly bland and obscure movie title assists the method for phase 2

PG, it may well be what you think, but I'm not going to break it down here. The prototype was actually fanmade posters iirc but Murphy's wanted to own the original art files and have them all in the same style.
It was a fun project that reminded me of when I was at Uni designing stuff - making a boatload of movie posters in a cool contemporary style is a bit of a dream project. Phill

This looks interesting but I don't want to repurchase something similar to a trick I bought from tannen's years ago. It could have been called 'director's cut" but not sure. It was a stop trick with about 13 or so movie poster cards. Your prediction always matched the movie poster they stopped on. It used a principle very similar to Andy Leviss' "it's a match" or the Becker classic Casino Royale. I don't want to shout the method but can somebody discreetly confirm. Thanks.

Would have been nice if the box could be written on with a dry erase marker, so your prediction is a bit like a real clapper board...

Phase 1 seems like a well known procedure in cards/ESP and I bet that this is what Vernet's PsiSet is also using (I love performing this because it goes much further than the principle itself).
I have no idea who invented this method though, it is probably as old as magic itself. > The second phase is nice, but it's most likely always the same movie. I am guessing too that the second phase is a clever procedural force but nothing should prevent you from setting a different one every time you do it. Then, I don't see any inconvenient with this... I would consider buying the trick more for the reason of buying an original force/principle that I could reuse rather than for the trick itself. So I would like to know: is the second phase original to the trick or is it credited from someone else (then I would prefer buying the original author's work on it)? |

Well its arrived and as predicted without doing a reveal here it would be hard to use this more than once in a performance/night. A thought is that a second packet of cards should be offered - more cost for us I know but it would give the ability to do a second showing
