Unleash Mystical Predictions with Voodoo by Marchand de Trucs

Step into the intriguing world of divination and mind-reading with 'Voodoo,' an extraordinary magic trick from Marchand de Trucs. This captivating routine allows you to demonstrate an uncanny ability to predict your spectator's innermost choices, leaving them utterly mystified. Imagine presenting twelve uniquely designed cards, each depicting a Voodoo doll with a needle strategically placed in one of six distinct anatomical locations: the head, left arm, heart, right bottom, left leg, or right leg. The stage is set for an experience that blends the ancient allure of Voodoo with modern, breathtaking mentalism.

The Spellbinding Performance

The performance begins as you meticulously lay out the twelve Voodoo doll cards. You explain to your participant that you will predict their selection of a specific needle placement. With a dramatic flourish, you set aside a single card, face down, as your bold prediction. The spectator is then asked to mentally (or overtly) choose one of the six needle positions. They then locate the corresponding card among the remaining set and place it face down right next to your prediction. Before the grand reveal, you slowly display the five cards still in your hand, confirming to the participant that their chosen card is unmistakably absent from your remaining arsenal. The tension builds, the air crackles with anticipation.

An Unforgettable Revelation

With undeniable confidence, you dramatically flip over your prediction card and, simultaneously, invite the spectator to reveal their chosen card. To their utter astonishment, your prediction perfectly matches their selection! The precise placement of the Voodoo doll's needle on your card is identical to theirs. This powerful revelation creates an indelible memory for your audience, proving your prescient abilities beyond a shadow of a doubt. 'Voodoo' is more than just a trick; it's a deeply engaging experience that draws your audience into a realm of impossible coincidences.

Why 'Voodoo' Stands Out

Designed with practicality in mind, 'Voodoo' is an ideal effect for close-up performances, making it perfect for strolling magicians, intimate gatherings, or even impromptu shows. The ingenious mechanics behind this trick ensure an instant reset, meaning you're always ready to mesmerize your next group of spectators without any downtime. Furthermore, the routine is remarkably easy to learn and execute, requiring no complicated sleight of hand or arduous practice. Focus on your presentation and engage your audience, knowing that the method takes care of itself. Embrace the mystique of 'Voodoo' and add a truly unique, memorable piece of mentalism to your repertoire.

You present twelve cards to the viewer. You distribute six and keep the other six.

On these cards are represented Voodoo dolls that have needles positioned at six different places: the head, the left arm, the heart, the right bottom, the left leg and the right leg.

Tell the participant that you will predict his choice of needle placement. Put a card on the table as a prediction. The spectator places his choice next to yours. Before revealing your prediction, show the five cards remaining in your hand, one by one -- the participant can see that his card is not among any of them.

Indeed, you had predicted his choice from the beginning.

Return your prediction and show that your card is identical to his!
