The Blurb
Mark Chandaue’s Ophiuchus is a new tool for revealing a participant’s star sign and date of birth, or one could call it an old tool used in a new and deceptive way.
Ophiuchus comes with three effects:
Basic effect:
After testing the participant’s intuition, the performer gives a reading and correctly reveals the participant’s star sign.
Intermediate effect:
After testing the participant’s intuition, the performer gives a reading and correctly reveals the participant’s star sign and date of birth.
Advanced effect:
The performer correctly reveals the star signs of two participants.
Ophiuchus has the following features:
High quality props included
No complicated mathematics
Fully justified and simple procedure
Birthday can include the year
Star sign can be revealed without the props
No threads, magnets, electronics or stooges.
Here are some quotes about Mark Chandaue’s Ophiuchus:
“This is not only a great effect to carry with you all the time, but is personal, engaging and powerful. Mark added a very clever twist making the principle invisible! Well done!”
– Luca Volpe, The Italian Mentalist

JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
Whether you do this effect depends upon whether you perform zodiac sign revelation effects and whether you can, or want to, handle some intermediate mental work. If so, then this is an extremely powerful combination of familiar principles that will definitely serve you well.
