My specs do not know anything about the ill fated ship story until the end. But one has been holding a "token" of a vintage Morgan dollar (at the end told it was used to flip and decide who gets in a lifeboat and who stays when there were only a few left) and the other has been holding a token of a vintage pocket watch ( which at the end spec is told was held by the pursor in timing the lifeboat launches of the survivors). Then they turn over their choices. Gets very strong reactions!

My specs do not know anything about the ill fated ship story until the end. [/quote] I, too, do not reveal the relationship of the picture cards to the Titanic until the end. One spectator (usually a woman) has been holding the "lucky" silver British coin (and probably a First Class passenger). The other spectator (usually a man) has been holding a copper coin (not unlucky, just not lucky amulet) and is probably a Third Class passenger. Many more First Class passengers survived than did Third Class passengers. I have two replica boarding passes (from a traveling Titanic exhibition). I plan to incorporate them into the story eventually.

Jim,
Any chance of a little more information about this effect and the difference between it and Whitestar? |

Yes, I would also appreciate a little more info.
By failing to prepare, we are preparing to fail.

It's basically the Fallen and unlike whitestar Tony and I have had full control of the artwork the cards are replica cart de visite photos of the period. We have put some secret indicators on each to allow you to do a predicted photo to wallet. Also you can determine the fate of the passenger by the photo on the front as well as the info on the back. Sorry about the vague trailer but aside from the mechanics of the (trick) it's all about the story. The way I perform it won't be the way others do and to be honest everyone I have ever seen do any of my effects seem to do them better than me, probably my insecurity. So in brief it's the Fallen on a Titanic theme, 50 good quality photo cards, the items you get are specially made brass key fob, a real old period penny, replica post card, playing card and a Whitestar pencil. Hope this has been some help

Also we've kept it to the lowest price we can £25. Storytelling magic is the future

Now that the Titanic hijack seems finished - Could the original poster provide more information. It may appear that the presentation is the problem if you talk like you write.

My own 4 pence coin is from 1888 (silver Victorian Maundy Money). I think 4 or 5000 have been made at the time. I don't think Dead or Alive coins exist, but if you need a strange coin, you may use a Méreau (token) with a skull on one side. http://www.inumis.com/vso//belgique-lieg......133.html |

I've performed from hell before, but for about 2-3 people. Im now expected to perform it in a group of about 40 people. The handling for the effect seems a little too risky for it....any suggestions?

N! @rtif@cts, by Vic Nadata)...Great for stage (or close/parlour) and is the JTR theme with a couple of routine choices, great props, easy to learn, so it leaves all your emphasis on your presentation. Too bad if you don't have time, but I humbly suggest you check it out anyway for another time. Best thoughts
