The Blurb
Visions is an incredibly powerful and simple double-prediction effect, suitable for walk-around and parlour. It can very easily be adapted into a full stage routine.
An envelope is placed in full view. A spectator is asked to imagine they are drawing a picture in their mind… it is a free choice and exists only in their mind. Next, a deck of cards is shown and all the cards are shown to be different. The spectator chooses a card. The envelope is opened and inside… paper-clipped to your business card is an exact match of their selected card. The spectator is suitably impressed, but they are soon astounded — the card is turned over and their thought-of picture is shown to be drawn on the back of the card!
This is a self-working, self-contained, instantly resettable pocket miracle. There are no difficult sleights, no pocket writing, no stooging, no memory work, and it is 100% reliable. Everything you need fits inside a deck of cards plus the envelope (which comes supplied, but is optional in performance).
Visions is a real-world, working piece of magic which has been performed hundreds of times by creator and two-time FISM award winner, Matthew Wright. It can be played as a light-hearted piece of mental magic or a much more serious mentalism piece. Includes an hour of detailed instructions, plus handling for bonus routines with peek wallets and an in-depth look at the psychology of drawing duplications.
Whether you are new to magic or a fully seasoned working pro, Visions is an effect that you will be performing right away with devastating results. Highly recommended!

JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
This is a clever combination of two principles that Bob Cassidy loved and I’m sure that he would have loved this special deck. It’s easy to do, requires no memorization, and, though there is one sleight, it’s optional.
