“I Love it! Such a diabolical, but simple method! I’m definitely going to make this up. It’s so clean to be able to hand the cards out, they can shuffle them and choose any one they like while in their own hands. That’s so cool!”

“I learned David Alnwick’s ‘Name Drop’ this morning, I made the props in under half an hour and performed it at a gig the same evening. This is something I put right into a corporate show the same day I learned it. The method is so simple, and plays for any size group. Highest recommendation ever. It’s something that’s going to live in my case and my repertoire for years to come. Another home run by David Alnwick.”
– Joe Diamond

“Name Drop is another brilliant creation from the estimable Mr. Alnwick. It’s easy to learn, simple to perform and devastatingly fooling. Highest recommendation”
– Mark Elsdon

“I decided I wouldn’t give testimonials unless I intended to include the effect in my repertoire. This one I definitely will. It’s brilliant – so simple to do, yet completely deceptive. I love it.”
– Marc Oberon

FAQ

Do I make the cards myself?
I provide the full instructions to make the Name Drop cards. All you need are some billets or blank cards and a couple of pens. I’ve been using the same set for years.

Can the cards be examined?
Yes. The participants handle the cards themselves.

Is it difficult to learn?
I guarantee you’ll be performing the effect within minutes of making up the cards. It’s incredibly easy to do.

Jheff's Guide

WHAT IT IS: Downloadable material, including PDFs and a 40-minute instructional video HOW ACCURATE OR COMPLETE THE AD COPY IS: The ad copy doesn’t describe the effect. Briefly, participants select a card with a bolded name along with other names, read all the names on the card aloud in any order, and the performer reveals the chosen bolded name. WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED THAT YOU NEED OR NEED TO KNOW: You will need to prepare your own cards. This will take a little time, but it’s a one-time setup. However, once you know the principle, you can certainly adapt it to other themes. Also, though David uses English names, this can be used in other languages, as well as other themes in other languages. SET-UP AND RE-SET: An initial one-time setup is required to create the necessary cards. After that, no setup or reset is necessary as the cards can be in any order. ANGLES: None SUITABLE VENUES: Close-up, Parlor, Stage, Walkaround JHEFF’S JUDGMENT: This belongs in every mentalist’s toolbox, as something that can be used in everyday work and, if necessary, created for an emergency situation. It’s versatile, can be done surrounded, and once you know the principle, you can adapt it to any theme or language. The only real consideration is justifying why you have cards with names—or anything else—on them, though that’s easily addressed with a suitable premise. For me, this is one of my favorite mentalism products of the year, and I highly recommend it.
