Step into the world of Ideal Meal, a captivating mentalism effect crafted by David Jonathan, the creative genius behind the bestselling Snaps. This routine is not just magic; it’s an experience that combines fun, relatability, and sheer astonishment.

“There are three things that my favorite magic needs to be: direct, baffling, and practical. Ideal Meal is the real deal!” – Kyle Purnell

Perfect for both seasoned professionals and budding magicians, Ideal Meal is a super practical mentalism effect that revolves around a universally relatable theme—food! The beautifully designed props and self-working method make it a breeze to perform, while the cleverly camouflaged principle elevates the concept to new heights.

Here’s how it works: You introduce a set of cards featuring various meals, drinks, appetizers, and desserts from different restaurants. The spectator selects a four-course meal from this ‘menu.’ When the cards are turned over, each reveals a different price on the back. Miraculously, the total of these prices matches your prediction, leaving your audience in awe.

David Jonathan has reimagined a classic principle to bring Ideal Meal to life. The method is ingeniously hidden, unlocking new features and making the effect even more baffling. Everything is self-working and resets instantly, making it perfect for close-up magic and walkaround performances. No table is required, so you can perform it anywhere, anytime.

The custom-designed cards are printed on durable plastic PVC stock, ensuring they withstand repeated use. Plus, you can customize the prediction to suit your style—whether it’s billets, money, gift cards, or more.

• Self-working
• Resets instantly
• Every price is different (you can even show how other choices would make a different total)
• Can be performed entirely in the hands or even hands-off
• Works great for both in-person performances and virtual magic shows
