The Blurb
A classic paper and pencil game between two players has now turned into an interactive game between the magician and audience.
Each player takes turns drawing X’s and O’s on a 3-by-3 grid. After completing the game, the magician reveals a surprise ending!
Contents:
6 pieces made of acrylic plastic, all held together by magnets
Total of 9 pieces of X’s and O’s
You can custom the prediction as you wish, for example:
Finale of a mentalism routine

WHAT IT IS:
Effect with Props
HOW ACCURATE OR COMPLETE THE BLURB IS:
The ad blurb doesn’t really specify the contents of each size correctly. The Stage size is 75cm x 75cm (30″ x 30″ approx.) and includes a padded carrying case and a metal easel. The Parlor size is 39cm x 39cm (15″ x 15″ approx.) and includes a wooden easel. The cardboard box it comes in is suitable for carrying, but I’d think you would want something else a little more professional looking.
WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED THAT YOU NEED OR NEED TO KNOW:
The reveal is that when you turn around the completed tic-tac-toe game, it shows a completed and totally customizable picture, logo, or message. It doesn’t come with one. You have to create your own. I know that there is a PhotoShop template included and I will assume that it can be used for other similar programs.
SUITABLE VENUES:
Parlour, Stage
JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
This will be released the week of July 2, but I have seen videos of both versions. Simply put, they’re gorgeous looking and make an effectively close-up effect one that can be a highly effective audience interactive stage or parlor routine. This effect is not new at all (Richard Osterlind has a killer version, for example). Still, it’s one of those “oldie but goodie” effects that is now highly visual. The reveal, incidentally, is that when you turn around the completed tic-tac-toe game, it shows a completed and totally customizable picture, logo, or message. It doesn’t come with one. You have to create your own.
