The Blurb
14 strangers meet at a party. Spectator decides on a killer. Without touching the cards, you immediately know who the killer is. Comes complete with the 14 suspect cards, a prediction card for the bonus routine plus 10 stickers.
Bonus routine: Killer On The Pateo
After the spectator shuffles the suspect cards, they decide which people to kill until they are left with the survivor (or the person who killed them all). It is no surprise that you have predicted that right at the start of the routine.

WHAT IT IS:
Effect with Props
HOW ACCURATE OR COMPLETE THE BLURB IS:
The blurb is somewhat vague in what specifically happens, but, in general, that’s the plot. There are no sleights or difficult moves, though, so it’s only hiding a little bit of the procedure.
SET-UP AND RE-SET:
The set-up involves arranging the cards and putting them in the box, plus removing the “killer” sticker when re-setting.
SUITABLE VENUES:

JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
This is quite an intriguing idea, the routine strong, and the cards are well-produced. But the modus involves a certain familiarity with the game of snooker and if you’re unfamiliar with that game, and I think most in the U.S. are not, then it may be more difficult to learn this than you’d expect.
