Hypnotic Choice

Royal Magic

(Based on 1 review)
A strong piece of mental magic. The spectator's mental choice of one of three shapes is controlled by the magician's "hypnotic" influence. This is the ultimate "can't miss" prediction. So easy to do, your customers will fully comprehend the secret only minutes after you make the sale.

WHAT YOU GET

You get three cards and a few other things that make this work.

WHAT IS COOL

Not much, this is what I would call “throw away” magic. OK, the one cool thing is the little magic wand is also a pen, and I suspect what I received was made a million years ago and it still writes!

THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY

I think that you should know that this is a multiple out effect. And, as many multiple out effects go, the props are NOT examinable. Do to the nature of this effect, you are inviting curiosity about the props. The performance as shown in the video is basic and short. Imagine watching that as if you were someone slightly more curious than a pet rock. I think that person would want to examine the props because the effect did NOTHING to cancel out their possible suspicions. Let’s just say that they CAN’T look in the envelope and the cards, and the little magic wand.

The props are all cheaply made. Personally, I typically don’t make judgement calls on how much the product costs relative to the product quality. If you think the cheap price justifies cheap props, then that is your call.

The method is really crappy. This method would work great at a convention of pet rocks where nobody has an ounce of curiosity in their little brains.

The explanation of a really bad method was really… basic.

I think the ad copy is highly deceptive in saying things like: “The ultimate ‘can’t miss’ prediction”, and “mentalism doesn’t get any stronger”. Let me assure you, mentalism does get a boatload stronger than this one.

AT A GLANCE

Skill level required: 1 of 5.
Audience management skill required: 5 of 5.
Performance angles: 360 degrees
Reset time required: You can reset in front of your audience.
DIY time involved in advance: None.

VERDICT

Pure garbage. If you need filler in your garbage drawer, this would be great!

Suggestions

Get some real mentalism magic, not this.
