It equated it to a Phil Goldstein effect I bought back in the 70s. So I can say without a doubt that the effect is 100%. Everything in the advertisment is true. Someone can remove a crayon from the box while you are in another room, you can call him from the other room on the telephone and tell him what crayon he removed.
The instructions come with a few different routines and an idea for the coloring book effect. The review was mostly positive. Tony |

Its been getting some good reviews. Initially a comedy effect but being used as a serious play I heard.

I read somewhere that you can use this prop only in the English language.
Is this true ??? |

Or in Canada outside of Quebec.

Yes I believe only English speaking routines for the crayons.
Could someone who has this please post a mini review? Thanks in advance. Candini

I own Psychic Crayons. Although I have not performed it yet, I have seen it performed by the inventor, Chris Mitchell, many times. It always kills. Yes, it is great for kids shows, but also for adults. Very simple to perform. If you can read and hold a box of crayons, you can do it. The cool thing is, it can be used as a stand alone routine, or added to other routines. There are a few ideas in the instructions, but I have a hard time believing that people won't be able to come up with their own routines for this.
Yes, both MAGIC and GENII magazines gave it a positive review. On a side note, I saw Chris perform this once at the Magic Castle (all adults) and the spectator tossed the crayons back to Chris (on stage) as he instructed. The box of crayons hit him in the forehead, and exploded. Crayons went flying everywhere!!! It was sustained laughter for about 3 minutes while he picked up all of the crayons off the stage... of course, after the laughter died down (he waited a long time for that) he was able to correctly name their crayon... HUGE RESPONSE!!! Highly recommended. |

Hi Eric Buss, I am v interested in this. Tell me something, does the spectator actually take the crayon out then put it back in? Or do they take it out and hide it out of view + then you reveal it?
Thanks |

You can do it either way... have them put it back in, shake the box, etc... then reveal the name of the color, or have them hide it from view.
It's a force, but a clever one. You know the name of the color they choose long before they know that they are gonna see a magic show. |

Do you always force the same color, or can you change it?

Jheff's Marketplace of the Mind had this review:
Chris Mitchell is one of the funniest performers I've recently seen. His Psychic Crayons is just part of a hilarious game show routine. Chris is not a mentalist, but a comedy magician, and though he uses this in a comedy mentalism routine, it doesn't mean that this item should fly by the mentalist community. It's really very clever. In the blurb, Mark Wilson unfortunately gives it away by revealing it's a forcing prop. Of course, I would've told you that, but then I'm informing discriminating mentalism enthusiasts. Anyhow, the force is extremely direct. The box of crayons is handed to a spectator who can pick any one of them. And that person can see that each and every crayon is a different color. Yet, no matter what they pick, you'll know the color ahead of time. The only hint to its method that I'll give you, and I have to say this, is that this prop does require the person who picks it to speak English. It is not adaptable to another language. The package includes a normal looking box of 24 crayons (because it is -- "Crayola" brand, of course) and one glossy 4 page 5.5" x 8" booklet (actually one glossy 8.5" x 11" page folded in half). It includes a very nice routine by George Saterial in which the performer names three thought-of items from spectators' childhoods, including a crayon color, natch. However, experienced mentalists will see many possibilities for this unique, highly recommended, forcing tool. NOTE: According to the instructions, two different force colors are available. You only get one with each package. At the time of this writing, only one color is available. When I find out the details of the availability of the second color, I'll modify these comments and mention it in a newsletter. |
