Hypnotrick by Ben Williams
Now it is possible to make people believe you are a master of suggestion/hypnosis techniques without having to learn the detailed ins and outs of this advanced skill!
Imagine dividing your audience into two groups, the first you influence with a hypnotic suggestion, and the second remain unaltered by your powers!
- With HYPNOTRICK a spectator can select a card from a deck and show it to everyone in his group before signing it. The performer then shows the second group the selection and they see a totally different card, despite there being only one card and it being signed across its face!
- The performer can release the spectators from their hypnotic state at any time, to show the true identity of the card. Oh, and the card can then be immediately inspected!
- Now you can do all these things with Hypnotrick, a brand new effect from the creative mind of Ben Williams. With this knowledge and detailed photo illustrated routine you will be able to perform a whole range of effects from convincing people you are a master of suggestion techniques to doing a signed colour change using just one card and your bare hands. This effect could also be translated onto stage for a larger performance maybe in a mentalism act.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Can the spectator really sign the card?
Yes! Although it is not necessary, the spectator can sign the FACE OF THE CARD before it changes. There are no duplicate signatures used. The signature can be in full view the whole time whether the ’hypnotized’ group or the ’unhypnotized’ group are seeing the card.
Can the spectators inspect the card?
Yes, after the trick is done the card is 100% examinable and can be kept as a souvenir, something I would encourage. In fact because of the nature of the effect the card can also be fully inspected as it is selected.
Do you need to be highly skilled with cards to perform this effect?
No, not at all. In fact all you need to know is one sleight that is not hard to execute and 95% of people reading this will probably know how to do it. The handling has also been refined so that there is no knucklebusting sleight of hand required, allowing you to concentrate fully on your performance.
Do you need to know any hypnosis or suggestion techniques?
No you don’t. Although to gain full credibility for what this effect can achieve you should be able to act the part of a mentalist or somebody who can influence a person’s mind using suggestion, such as when you read a spectators mind to tell them what card they have.
Is it suitable for ’real-world’ working conditions?
YES! Here’s a few reasons why :-
- No difficult angles and unrealistic ’moves’
- Quick reset
- Fast and entertaining for your audience
- Adaptable to your current performing style or card effects
- Can be performed surrounded
- Works one2one with a spectator or plays to a whole group
- You can put your business details on the back of the card
