Blush - By Liam Montier

Posted by Eddy Ray on May 15th, 2008

A brand new packet trick from Liam Montier

Two jokers are removed from the deck and placed aside, and a spectator makes a free choice of card.  The rest of the deck is discarded.  The selection is placed into the joker packet, and suddenly the jokers all change to the selected card – demonstrating how they are often called “Wild Cards”.

However, the performer explains that they are not really wild, and performing makes the jokers shy.  One of them blushes (the back turns from blue to red!) and the other is so shy he can’t show his face, and the joker turns out to have a back design on each side!

“Blush” comes complete with full routine and gaffed cards on Bicycle stock for just £7.00 postage paid to the UK.

Dark Vision By Richard Osterlind

Posted by Eddy Ray on May 3rd, 2008

Dark Vision
by Richard Osterlind

Imagine your head completely covered by a black cloth hood that has been verified by an audience member as being completely opaque. Then, imagine performing any number of sightless vision miracles, limited only by your imagination, including the Blindfold Drive, a legendary feat of paranormal ability and performed by the greatest mentalists in history.

This is what the Dark Vision system will enable you to accomplish. Designed from the ground up and fashioned to be used with the Osterlind Stainless Steel Blindfold or on its own, Dark Vision will convince your audiences that you have the ability to see using only the power of your mind. The Dark Vision system consists of the very special hood, each one hand-made by Sandra Sisti and made from the same quality materials and exacting specifications as the S.O.S. Bag, and a booklet written by Richard Osterlind that not only explains the minute details of handling Dark Vision with the Stainless Steel Blindfold and also by itself, but also invaluable tips on how to create and perform a large-scale publicity stunt such as a Blindfold Drive.

There have been many gimmicked blindfolds and hoods on the market over the years…but none of them have offered the versatility, craftsmanship, ease of use or sheer mental power of Dark Vision.
