The Blurb
This is the updated version of the original Ultimate Clue routine, featuring all-new designs, new extra props and additional phases. It’s a murder mystery effect where 14 strangers gather at a party, only to discover a murder has been committed.
The spectator selects a killer, and without touching the cards, you reveal who it is. In the second phase, the spectator identifies a new killer without even knowing how they did it. Finally, in the third phase, you reveal that you knew the outcome from the start with a prediction that’s been on the table all along.
Complete with 14 suspect cards, a gimmicked wallet, prediction cards, an envelope, and a sticker.
Can you solve the mystery before it’s too late?

WHAT IT IS:
Effect with Props
HOW ACCURATE OR COMPLETE THE BLURB IS:
It’s accurate enough, though I’ll add that the routine uses no sleights.
SET-UP AND RE-SET:
The cards need to be put in an order before the start of the routine. With fourteen cards, this takes a minute or so. If you use the gimmicked wallet, you will have to replace a card back inside. And if you use the routine with a sticker, you’ll need to remove that.
WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED THAT YOU NEED OR NEED TO KNOW:
It does not include a case or pouch to carry all the components of this routine, and you’ll definitely need something if you intend to use this.
SUITABLE VENUES:

JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
This strong three-phase murder mystery routine plays quite well, though these cards are versatile enough that you don’t have to do all three phases, and you can use different routines. Though the modus involves a certain familiarity with the game of snooker, the revised design of these cards means it is not necessary to know snooker to perform the entire routine. With these beautifully designed cards, I only wish there were some weapons and room cards, as well. If you’re interested in doing a murder mystery/Clue/Cluedo style routine, I certainly recommend checking this out.
