The Blurb
Over the last fifteen years, there has been one utility prop that’s always present in Chris Rawlins’ performances, and its name is “Reveal“.
You have a participant write down or draw absolutely anything, and in a split second, you know exactly what it is. “Reveal” uses no electronics and uses a completely normal pen, envelope, and clipboard.
This is test-conditions mind-reading with ordinary objects that stand up to scrutiny. It’s easy to do and works for one person or large audiences.
With many peeking methods, placement on the page matters. With “Reveal“, the participant can write or draw anywhere on the paper, and you will still see every bit of information.
This gimmick has evolved a lot over the last fifteen years, and this version has been refined and perfected over years of real-world performance.
You’ll receive:
- Brand new and updated gimmick
- Clipboard
- Envelope
“Reveal” takes up almost no space, travels easily, resets in under five seconds, and is ready to perform within minutes.
Your audience won’t see anything, but you will see everything with “Reveal“.
Jheff's Guide
WHAT IT IS:
Clipboard with gimmick and routine(s) included
HOW ACCURATE OR COMPLETE THE AD COPY IS:
It’s accurate enough.
WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED THAT YOU NEED OR NEED TO KNOW:
It’s not easy to use in extremely low light. In those conditions, you either have to test it in advance to see if you can use it or not. Also, in the tutorial, Chris performs a second phase, but doesn’t explain it.
SET-UP AND RE-SET:
You will have to cut sheets of paper (8.5” x 6”) so they cover most of the clipboard.
ANGLES:
No one should be standing behind you or directly to your sides. This is not unique to this type of effect or principles used, though.
SUITABLE VENUES:
Close-up, Parlor, Stage
JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
When this first came out more than a dozen years ago, it was the most practical, low‑tech, versatile clipboard I’d seen, and this 2025 version is a refreshing re‑release that avoids high‑tech pens or special paper. The considerations—its 6″ x 9″ size, the need to trim paper, and certain lighting conditions—are not drawbacks, just things to keep in mind. I’m very pleased this new edition of Reveal is available again, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who doesn’t have a drawing duplication effect or who needs a reliable backup. Even for those curious about more affordable, low‑tech methods, this is a terrific item you’ll like and use.
