Does anyone have this effect? It sounds sooooooooo good. Hope to see some reviews.

Effect:

The performer introduces a small envelope and shows that there is a playing card inside. He places it on the table and never touches it again.

A participant takes the deck out of the case and shuffles it. They then cut the deck and the top card is immediately turned over. It is, for example, the Seven of Spades. The deck is turned face-up and cleanly spread (on the table or in the hands) to show that there are no duplicates.

The participant opens the envelope and removes the card inside. It is a perfect match. There are NO other outs – the card in the envelope is always the card they choose.

Alternatively you can have a photo of the card posted on your Twitter feed or other social media, or you can message them at the beginning and they check the message at the end.

Works 100%, Fools 100%. Zero sleight-of-hand and zero memory work.

I am not so sure about the Fools 100%. As that depends on the audience.

But the rest of the stuff sounds like 95% of this type of effect. It's the how that is important.

I think the trick is called “No Way Two Way” and if it is, there’s another step in there. The spectator has to select a small packet of cards, counts those cards, and uses that number to select a card...

Mark sold out of most of his items, this one included. He has made a few more and then I don't think it will be available until the Summer.

The effect you mention sounds like 21st Century Canasta by Mark Elsdon.

Yeah, talked to Mark this morning, he said there is no demo of this anywhere, and its a different effect.

I do see a lot of similarities in it being like 21st Century Canasta though, but coming from Mark, this sounds good.

I have a pretty good idea whats at play here, but the effects do have some similarities between them both.

It's finally available!

The performer introduces a small envelope and says that there is a playing card inside. He places the envelope on the table and never touches it again.

A participant takes the deck out of the box and shuffles it. Then they cut the deck and the top card is immediately turned over. It is, for example, the 7 of Spades. The deck is turned face-up and clearly spread to show that there are no duplicates.

The participant opens the envelope and removes the card inside. It is a perfect match - the 7 of Spades.

AND THERE ARE NO OTHER OUTS - the card in the envelope is ALWAYS the card they choose!

NO sleight-of-hand required. This literally is as easy as it gets!

Alternative endings: You can have a photo of the card posted on your Twitter feed, Instagram or other social media. Or you can WhatsApp or message them at the start and they check the message at the end.

Ok, so it's the fact that the spectator can shuffle the deck that's the real selling point here? Otherwise one could achieve the same effect any number of ways, such as with a S******i d**k or something newer like Position Impossible. The spectator could at least cut the deck using those two methods though probably not shuffle. I've also read elsewhere that the selection is always the same with this one, so I don't know...

A s******i d**k can be riffle shuffled. (although spectators would probably notice something or screw it up)

Most unlikely statement I have ever heard unless he had 2 physical units on him Gaz 🙂

It was sold out more than year ago and still no one real review!!??
It looks exactly like the 21st Century Canasta with the only difference that the prediction card is in an envelope instead photo in the phone.
The trailer looks terrific so if it’s true here should be hundreds comments and reviews during last year... but there is no even single one... hmmm

I find it strange too. It has been more than a year since I started this thread.
