Here’s what it says on the back of the box: Walk up to someone you've never met and have a card chosen, marked and shuffed into the deck. Next, you draw a series of random marks on the back of any indifferent card. Those marks VISIBLY JUMP from card to card, finally VANISHING COMPLETELY. The deck is slowly spread to reveal the marks on the back of one card...the spectator's signed selection.
One last incredible kicker... you offer the card to the spectator as a souvenir. In order to personalise it...you shake the card...and get ready for this...THE MARKS ON THE BACK OF THE CARD VISUALLY REFORM INTO THE SPECTATOR'S VERY OWN NAME!
Yes, the marks VISUALLY REFORM with no cover whatsoever ...into the name of the spectator that you just met!
What’s great about Identity is that there’s no switch... the card is immediately handed to the spectator to keep. It is completely examinable!
The fact that you have never met the spectator before yet her name appears on the back of the card is a killer, and a real worker. You don’t even need any prior knowledge of the spectator either. It really can be performed to anyone, and at any time. And it’s a great souvenir to give away.
It will take you a few minutes to set up the gimmick needed but then you’re good to go.
Identity also has an instant reset so it’s perfect for tablehopping.
The DVD contains over 2 hours of footage teaching the sleights needed, other handlings and the psychology involved.
This is yet another great effect from the portfolio of Richard Sanders. I can’t wait to see what he comes up with next. PS
What’s Hot: Killer effect
What’s Not: slightly expensive considering what you get
