The Blurb
Eight pieces of a cut postcard (featuring Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘Mona Lisa’) are handed out to be closely examined.
A spectator selects one of the pieces. And a folded prediction is introduced.
A spectator is asked to hold the remaining pieces behind her back and give them the ‘ultimate fair shuffle’ (mixing their order, and also randomly turning them over.)
When the spectator slowly deals the pieces onto the table, and the prediction is unfolded, it perfectly matches the selected piece!
And the prediction also matches the exact arrangement of the remaining 7 pieces!
DERANGED is easy to do, immediately resets, and never misses!
Includes the custom designed postcard, plastic wallet and full-length DVD!
Jheff's Guide
WHAT IT IS:
Effect with Props
HOW ACCURATE OR COMPLETE THE BLURB IS:
Accurate and complete, though it does leave out that Sankey presents quite a few variations of the handling. Some are easier than others, but all depend upon your style.
WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED THAT YOU NEED OR NEED TO KNOW:
The postcards must be cut into eight pieces and you may wish to make copies of the prediction.
SUITABLE VENUES:
Close-up, Walkaround
JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
Because Jay puts out a lot of stuff of variable quality, I’m fairly certain this gem will be overlooked. It’s not really the methods and handling that make this unique, but the presentation of this fun close-up/walkaround routine using the picture of the Mona Lisa.
