A Modern Classic Reimagined

Step into the future of mentalism with "Priority" by Chad Long, a brilliantly conceived routine that breathes fresh life into the time-honored Spirit Slates effect.

Chad Long, known for his innovative and practical magic, has crafted a routine that is both incredibly deceptive and wonderfully accessible, making it a must-have for any serious performer.

Everyday Objects, Extraordinary Magic

Imagine this: A common Priority Mail envelope – or any similar large, rigid mailing envelope – is torn open, and a stapler and magic marker are casually emptied out. The edges are removed, leaving only the front and back panels, which are clearly displayed and numbered. With the marker seemingly trapped inside, these panels are stapled together around all four sides. What happens next is pure magic. As the stapled panels are ripped apart, the marker falls free, revealing an enormous drawing or message that has impossibly materialized on the inside! This isn't just a trick; it's a piece of interactive theater using items your audience instantly recognizes.

"Priority" offers unparalleled versatility for your performances. Are you a mentalist looking to unveil a mentally selected word or execute a flawless drawing duplication?

Original Specs

This is my take on the classic Spirit Slates routine. A Priority Mail envelope (or any rigid, large mailing envelope) is torn open and a stapler and magic marker are dumped out. The edges and flap of the envelope are torn off so only the front and back sides remain. These are displayed and numbered on all four sides. They are stapled together around all four edges, with the marker trapped inside. They are ripped apart and the marker falls to the floor, revealing a big drawing or message on the inside!

This is great for parlor or stage and can be used to reveal a mentally selected word, as a drawing duplication or just to make a fun message appear.
