Prepare for a multi-phase mental magic masterpiece where the impossible unfolds right in their hands.
The Impossible, Spectator-Led Effect
The magic begins and ends with your audience. They freely mix a deck of 25 symbol cards, make a truly unforced selection of five, and guard the deck throughout the entire routine—you, the performer, never touch the cards. The spectator then deals them into a circle and secretly selects a symbol. Without any physical interaction from you, their chosen symbol mysteriously appears as a blister on your finger. The stunning climax continues as an ornate coin, visible from the start, is flipped to reveal an exact, matching sequence of all five previously selected symbols. For the ultimate finale, the deck the spectator has diligently protected is revealed to be completely blank. Every component is examinable, leaving no trace of deception, only pure wonder.
Engineered for Effortless Mastery
Despite its profound impact, 'The Artefact' is remarkably easy to perform. Crafted for maximum effect with minimum effort, this routine requires virtually no sleight of hand. Excluding one simple, almost automatic move, the entire process is self-working.
