I do magic square routines myself and would like to ask about some stuff:
dry erase vs paper (by using dry erase board, we are missing out on the chance for giving out a souvenir. any thoughts on this?) |

Although, if using paper it wouldn't necessarily be dry erase if it was to be given away as a souvenir at the end.
Café members, including the much respected George Hunter, can attest to the fact that as well as the large stage version of the original Psychic Grid, we also produced a very limited number of slightly smaller boards for parlour and cabaret situations and a 25 page A5 pad version for numerology type readings and close-up give aways.

I am thinking aloud here about possible routines. It could be that these are already known or have been suggested but they could work quite well with a Magic Square.
One possibility is for the performer to announce that he/she is about to show something intriguing. He/she invites the members of the audience to write numbers on slips of paper. These are collected, one is selected and with the number thought of. The performer concentrates and then hesitantly writes something on a board. The selected number is called out and the performer shows that what he had written down turns out to be a magic square of that number. The method - Paul and Luca's highly recommended TBC box. A further routine could be performed using Saturn's marketed effect, Out of the Blue. Again you say you are about to show something intriguing. Perform Out of the Blue to the point that the envelopes are spread out before you. You pass your hand over the envelopes as if trying to sense something and then fill in the grid. The envelopes are opened, the randomly selected number revealed and you then display the completed magic square which adds up to the number. As I say, am thinking aloud but could make intriguing presentations. Neil |

My quick review:
When I ordered this I was mainly interested in the code around the edges. I assumed the card would be about as think as a plastic playing card, and eventually would be damaged. Boy, was I wrong. This “card” is about the thickness of two credit cards glued together. This thing is a tank! And the code is very deceptive, even though you wouldn’t give the spectator the card to study for long periods of time, you could and they won’t figure it out, even if they know how to do a magic square. That brings us to the method. If you simply did the basic method you would have a portion of your audience who wouldn’t be as impressed, because they have done magic squares in school or elsewhere. I would be afraid to perform this with that method. A really cool thing Paul brings the table is the ability to mask the method in a very simple way. The pattern will be disrupted with his addition. You could actually do two different squares using the same target number. More likely you would take two different numbers, though. The size may be a problem for some; this is more geared for closeup and possibly parlor. One good thing is that this card will fit in the new mentalism folio, The Fox.
All small town magicians know what 793.8 signifies.

Neil,
The 'out of the blue' using the envelopes in combination with the 'executive grid' is the routine I started to do. Getting great results/reactions. Charlie |

A big thank you to Sean and Dave at The Wizard Product Review for taking the time out to review the Executive Grid.
They both agreed that it is a well produced and good product and I can live with their score of 75% each but must emphasise that the Executive Grid was released purely for close-up and mix and mingle environments, following literally hundreds of requests over the past six years or so, for a close-up, pocket sized version, of our previous, much larger stage and cabaret limited edition release, the Psychic Grid. I also need to politely address Dave's comment about the layout of the artwork and the 16 cells being slightly oblong and not square. They are purposely taller, not only for the written digits to be less cramped and more visible but also to keep the dimensions of the board down to a minimum, in order to sit comfortably in a jacket pocket, or inside a corporate folio...This isn't an accident but a design feature! Thank you once again guys for all your feedback and support. Paul McCaig.
