Close Up
€29,90
Unit price perA hundred movie posters are shown to the audience. A spectator freely chooses one of them. In a few seconds, you will be able to guess which movie your spectator has in his mind, without apparently asking any question! BOX OFFICE is very easy to perform -- the cinema theme will amaze your audience. And, they'll be entertained and have fun at the same time!
GAMIFY YOUR MAGIC!
The version we prefer is the one when the experience becomes a game. You introduce the cards like a family game and ask your audience to memorize a movie. After the spectator shuffled the postcards, you're going to find the movie. You place the cards, one by one, on the table. As soon as they see the selection, they tap together on it without you seeing what it is. In a few seconds, you are able to reveal the movie: funny or in a serious way, describing a scene or two, the poster, actors, music or whatever you want!
At the end, you are able to tell them the exact position at the BOX OFFICE that it ranked!
THE GAME IS YOUR MISDIRECTION -- it allows you to make mentalism attractive and fun!!
An effect that packs small and plays big!
Close-up or stand-up trick. Also nice for pre-show...
So easy that you'll only be concentrating on your story!

What the Pros say:
"The great thing about this version is that it's very casual, and I like the way it lets you not worry about what cards they're looking at. The really nice feature here is that there's no fishing - in other words, you don't have to ask them any questions!" - Paul Romhany
"This is a very clever use of a mentalism principle that has been very well disguised by film card manipulation. It's very practical, there's nothing to memorize and it's also a lot of fun. The cards are very well made and you can literally perform straight out of the box! Highly recommended!" - Luca Volpe
“The cards are colorful and can be effectively used for pre-show work, stage or close-up as well as for game nights.” - Rolando Santos

Unit price perEffect :
Upon meeting a spectator, the performer asks the spectator to write their name on an index card. The index card is burned with a lighter over an ashtray. The performer gathers a handful of these ashes and rubs them into his forearm. As the ashes spread over the performer's arm, the spectator's name is revealed!!!
Ash Pen for a New Generation!
This special pen will allow you to perform the "ashes on arm" effect not only with great ease, but almost impromptu. In addition, it will open the doors to a wider range of presentational approaches.
This method is more simple and practical than any other method previously devised. The special pen will produce sharper and clearer messages on your arm or the back of your hand. In addition, you will now be able to make a message appear on a spectator's arm, without the aid of a stooge.
Ash Pen Pro Features:
- The message can be any size. You can draw the suit and value of a playing card, a figure, a first name, a geometrical shape, a picture, etc.
- The preparation will remain invisible at all times.
- Preparation only takes a few seconds. In certain situations, you can even prepare your arm during the effect itself, as soon as you acquire the information.
- You can write your message on a large variety of surfaces such as, but not limited to: skin, paper, playing cards, and restaurant menus. You are only limited by your imagination!!!
