Ultimate Clue
Get 350 VI Points for this purchase.
Your audience helps you solve a murder in this fun and engaging mentalism routine.
14 strangers come together at a party. What they don't know is that one of them is a murderer. Your spectator decides who that killer is. Without needing to touch the cards, you'll know who the killer is.
"Ultimate Clue" comes with 14 suspect cards, a prediction card and 5 stickers.
You'll also get a bonus routine "Killer on the Pateo."
After the spectator shuffles the suspect cards, they decide which people to kill until they are left with the survivor (or the person who killed them all). It is no surprise that you have predicted that right at the start of the routine.
This is an okay packet trick, somewhere between "Below standard" and "Pretty good." The method is unremarkable, but sound enough (though easier perhaps for British and European customers--and perhaps Chinese--than North American ones). This effect is not a fooler, nor a dud; what you make of it is really up to you. Invest some time into a story that will keep your audience involved and the effect will work.The graphic design of the card looks as though someone picked clip art without an eye to matching styles. It's not ugly, it's just not pretty. Perhaps the slapdash graphic design was needed to keep the cost from rising any higher.Two caveats:- It's overpriced, even considering inflation. Essentially 14 cards plus some stickers.- It is really not for those of us who have colour-deficient vision (what used to be called colour-blindess). Like, it's _really_ not for us. (We make up roughly 8% of the population; that's roughly 15.5 million North Americans alone.) The colour-perception problem was made worse by poor colour design; the inconsistent use of colour makes the method harder even for people with perfect colour vision.
