Jheff's Guide
WHAT IT IS:
Effect with Props
HOW ACCURATE OR COMPLETE THE BLURB IS:
The routine, which was inspired by Wayne Dobson’s WAYNE’S EXCHANGE, is not detailed.
WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED THAT YOU NEED OR NEED TO KNOW:
You need to supply some white cardstock and foam board, which are easily obtainable from your local art supply store. You’ll also need to get additional books if you want to do Cody’s full routine.
SUITABLE VENUES:
Close-up (but not one-on-one), Parlour, Stage
JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
For the comedy magician doing mentalism, this is recommended. For the mentalist, there is a “magical” change of the word at the finale which precludes me from recommending this, unless, of course, that is your style or unless you can creatively eliminate that ending.
