Drinks On Me!

Matthew Johnson

(Based on 1 review)

"Drinks on Me," offers a refreshing change of pace to any close-up act and has everything you are looking for in a close up effect; Magic, Fun, Great looking props and the big comedy finish! This trick is the perfect ice breaker for any close-up act.

effect:
You show cards with pictures of drinks on them and explain that the spectators have been so great that you want to buy one of them a drink. The chosen spectator selects one of the cards and turns it over, the result is a surprise comedy finish that gets a great laugh every time!

The performer offers to buy an audience member a drink. He shows several laminated cards on which various alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks are displayed. One is selected which leads to a surprise humorous ending.

This is hardly earth-shaking or original. You might be aware of the version where cards showing beautiful women are displayed and the spectator selects one -- which proves to be the picture of a grotesque hag. Here, Matthew Johnson provides well-designed cards and instructions. This is a good routine that many might enjoy performing -- particularly since it involves no sleight-of-hand at all.
