The Blurb
From the creator of Olson’s Closer and the resident bar magician in his own home(!), Erick Olson has created a bet you CAN’T LOSE!!! Pick Your Poison is a self-contained MENTAL BAR BET with custom made props that DO ALL THE WORK FOR YOU!
The Effect:
You remove three drink coasters from a smart looking snap case. Each coaster has a different drink printed on it; Beer, Whiskey and Wine. Left inside the case, and seen through the clear plastic front, is a $20 bill. Explain that you’re going to get the spectator to choose one of the three drinks. You are SO confident that you already KNOW which drink they’re going to pick you’re willing to give them the $20 bill if you’re wrong. But if you’re right, then they have to buy you a drink. The spectator agrees to the wager and makes an ABSOLUTELY FREE CHOICE of one of the three drinks. You then reveal an indelible prediction left in full view from the very beginning that reveals their chosen drink!
Pick Your Poison is…
- A totally free choice! No forcing involved.
- Guaranteed that you will always be correct.
- Easy and convenient to carry with you everywhere.
- Comes complete with everything you need to perform (Even the $20 bill!) Can work with any currency.

Jheff's Guide
WHAT IT IS:
Effect with Props
HOW ACCURATE OR COMPLETE THE BLURB IS:
It’s accurate enough.

There is no set-up and re-set other than picking up the coasters and the bill and putting them inside the case.
SUITABLE VENUES:
Close-up, Parlour, Walkaround, Internet
JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
I’m fairly certain that most recognize that this can be considered an “adult” update of a classic effect involving three cards with differed colored spots on them, a pen, and an envelope. This updated version features drink coasters and is a version of a classic that will serve you well.
