Far Sight by Devin Knight

One of Devin Knight's most guarded secrets from his professional act is now being made available.

A truly long distance, hands-off mental card effect that seems totally impossible. An effect that not only baffles lay people but many magicians as well.

Performer invites anyone to help. He says he will try to subliminally force that person to choose a certain card. Magician proceeds to deal 10 or 12 cards face up on the table. He points out that most of these cards could be psychological choices. For example, one card may be the only club on the table. Another card may be the only odd value, another may be the only red court card, etc. You tell the spectator you will try to make him take a certain card while you are 15 to 20 feet away, with your back turned!

You walk to the other side of the room or stage and turn your back to the spectator. You instruct them to look over the cards and remove one. There is no funny counting, the cards are face up on the table and he just removes any one he likes. The spectator then covers the remaining cards so they can't be seen. This is all done while your back is turned. The person then covers his FREELY chosen card with his hand concealing it from view.

While still across the room, the magician picks up a magic marker and writes something on a piece of cardboard and sets it aside. You then proceed to tell the person what card you tried to influence them to take and WHY they decided on it. Only then does the spectator show the card they chose. It is the same one you wanted them to pick! Finally for a kicker finish, the cardboard is turned around and the card the person chose is written on it in large letters!

REVIEW BY NING of THE LITTLE MAGIC SHOP
Far Sight by Devin Knight

Here's what you get:

You get everything needed for this KILLER mentalism effect, just bring your own marker pen and clipboard for the prediction :) Devin Knight's instructions are clear and detailed, making it easy to comprehend. This is truly my favorite effect from him!

Now this is what's great about it:

Far Sight is excellent for the stage/ parlor performer. Initially I thought the double prediction was a bit redundent but on hindsight, it's neccesary because it proves that there was no utilising of a swami writer or fishing involved :lol: It's a very simple but extremely clever concept... yet it really seems totally impossible :lol: This is one of the strongest mentalism effects I've come across! I'm really glad Devin Knight's decided to share this with us, Far Sight comes from his own professional repertoire... he's been using it during his shows for over 7 years!

My sister is very smart and one of the supreme hecklers I know *wry grin* So... I only know how good my presentation or how solid a trick is if she doesn't figure it out and is actually impressed by it. Far Sight actually passed her test *grin* I performed it for her last evening and she was bewildered because I was standing some distance away from her and never touched the cards after spreading them out fairly on the table for her to select. She tried throwing wild guesses too but just could not figure this out!!! :g:

So, in a nutshell:

This plays big, packs flat! No stooges or assistants required and it may seem too good to be true like REAL magic... Far Sight realy does deliver :) If you're a student of mentalism or like some strong mental magic in your performances, this would be ideal to open your show with. The patter provided is great, and Devin knight explains the psychology about the audience's choices.

Overall, I'm really pleased with this clever effect. Recommended!

Cheers,
Ning ^_^
