Chris Rawlins is one of our favorite creators, and he's back with an offbeat and amazing solution to the classic drawing duplication. As in the classic effect, someone is invited to walk away from the group and draw any shape or thing she likes. You are able to duplicate what she drew with uncanny accuracy.
What makes this cool and so very different from what has come before is that you are NOT glimpsing information and then re-drawing it. You are not FORCING the spectator to draw something predetermined. Nor do you rely on any kind of pre-show at all. Instead, you rely on something so basic but also so unsuspecting that we think this will fool you. It fooled us! What you see in the trailer is EXACTLY what it looks like in real life. Nothing has been doctored or left out.
The download or DVD (choose which when you add to checkout) teaches the entire routine, which is easy to perform and easy to make.
Running time: 20 minutes
Very nice idea indeed ??
This is not only a fantastic idea but a full routine.If you need a drawing duplication this is it but it's more than that, it combines so many great ideas that you can miss. Then you will learn how to make this play huge so you can apply this to more than a drawing duplication.I have been using this a lot in walking around. I gave this five stars.
A really clever routine for drawing duplications that will give you great results. When you consider the price, this is a bargain.
Clever idea! Will not probably fool those "in the know" but you are not performing for them anyway. There seems to be ABSOLUTELY no way for you to get a look at the drawing ahead of time, so this is a huge strength of the effect. It will take you a little time to put this together, but you can use it forever after that. You will need a couple common items to do this, but if you do not have them already, they are not expensive. I already had them in my drawer, so to speak, so that was not an issue. Luke Jermay appears at the end of the video to give some extra ideas which are quite good, including an idea about how to take this this to the next level and perform it as a showpiece effect on stage. Aside from the short preparation (I would expect an hour or two, but I am slow), this looks to be easy to do, although of course you will want to practice the presentation. I can see using this all the time once it is made up, as there is virtually no reset. Everything is clearly explained, although for a non-artist like me I may need to look up how to make certain simple drawings. Again, this is not difficult, but assumes a little experience with magic. Overall, worth WAY more the price, I can see this becoming a real go to effect. Five stars!
Wonderfully inventive. Luke's addition was particularly suitable to my style. I can't wait to make it up! Thanks!
Absolutely brilliant! This is unlike any traditional approach to drawing duplication I have ever seen! It's also perhaps the easiest. The concept even has some outs built into it. That being said the I can't imagine that an out would ever be necessary and each with the potential to still count as a hit.
i.d.d , this is very clever well worth the money ,however as yet i have not been able to buy the blank business cards that i need i will get them next week when i go to the big smoke. errol robinson
Brilliant effect for $10. The method might seem a bit bold at first, but trust me, once you try it out, the reactions are great and it is almost always sure-fire.
This is real world mentalism.Very practical and easy to perform and it is fun to do.I would highly recommend this DVD to anyone who wants an off beat piece of mentalism in their set.Yes you have to make it up but it is worth it.
I’m not sure the people above have watched the download fully. The chances of it failing are really, really slim if you do this right. I really enjoy this!
Had to right again. Hopefully this gets posted as well. Not sure what other folks don't like about this. I performed it 15 times today!! For three of them I deliberately showed a different yet very similar picture. The responses were just as powerful each time. It's mentalism, a direct hit all the time is a bit to perfect. I say perform this a few times, and write another review!
Brilliant! $10!?!?!?!? Wow......I don't know what to say other than this May be one of my favorite mentalism purchases EVER!! I can't wait to take this out!!!!
I love the simplicity of this approach which, with a little practice, even the most wet-behind the ears novice (such as ME) can master. As the download demonstrates, this can be used as both an I'll draw what you drew OR a you'll draw what I drew trick... which is pretty darned amazing! It can be small-scale and casual - and still a WOW! - or be turned into a show-stopper. I like it.
This is an excellent effect. It’s also perfect for a beginning mentalist. A little bit of research on the part of the performer may be required to find common objects a person may draw that may be geographically or culturally more common than the list provided. I only give it 4 stars due to the fact that purchase of an additional magic utility is necessary. However, if you’re a serious student of magic, you should already have it.
The secret is what I thought it was... but still clever...The supplies you need is; 2 markers, smooth cards that you can spread and the gimmick that you may have already or that vanishing inc sells. You will need to make this up, but once it’s done... you can have fun.
This is an excellent use of this concept that has soooo many more applications than the one shown. I will DEFINITELY use this, but not for a drawing duplication.Christopher Taylor
As the performance in this clip shows, I.D.D. is potentially an astonishingly strong piece of intimate mentalism. The method will not suit everyone because it may involve more skulduggery and preparation than some may wish to invest. I mean that in terms of time and money. In order to do this, you may need to purchase another item available at VANISHING INC. for $15. So really, this is a $25 effect. Beginners and newbies wanting an immediate ready, set, go, out of the box explanation will be disappointed.The advanced performer however will see the strength of I.D.D. and enjoy the combination of principles they already know. Some may even see a way to save some of the prep time. In short, this is a wonderful performance piece for intermediate and advanced performers who may need to pay a total of $25. A small investment along with your prep time for a minor miracle. Remember, the effect is the thing! I'm rating this as only "good" because of my above concerns. It is potentially great!If any purchaser wants to know the idea for shortening the prep time, ask the good folks at VANISHING INC. I'll be happy to share the old idea with them, and they will I'm sure be happy to share it with you or any direct purchasers.Sincerely,Richard Busch
Failing possibillities are to high. After watching explanation my girlfriend, her sister and me made a drawing and... It poorly would’t have worked.It’s not something I’d include in my professional repertoire.No doubt about that.
I feel that the teaser video performance of IDD was rather misleading. The promotional video gave me much higher expectations than I'd expect now I understand how this works. The uncanny likeness he points out between the two drawn items made this appear to be something far cleverer than it actually is. In reality, you are almost never going to get such a close match (in many cases a "type match" i.e. a piece of fruit or a shoe matching a boot, for example, is likely to be as close as you get. I certainly wouldn't have bought it if I'd seen this performed without the benefit of a compliant stooge. My experience made me reconsider buying anything further from Vanishing Inc. I cannot recommend this at all. If I'd have paid any more than £8.50 I'd have been most vexed.
Look on subjects face said it all.... “meh!?” Why put the card back in the pack?
Strange that he "slides his prediction face down in the stack". Too contrived - comes across as a card trick.
Not for me. Other more impressive ways to do this. Every idea is not a product. Sometimes just an idea. This is an idea.
This is certainly not what I expected. The opportunity for a total fail is too high for me to feel comfortable using it. If I had paid more than $10 for this I would probably quit buying magic from Vanishing. This is the only product that I have been so disappointed with that I decided to write a review.
Have a question about this product? It's possible others do too. Ask here and other Vanishing Inc. Magic customers will be able to respond with assistance! Alternatively, email us and we can help too.
Kelvin asks: Hello, Where does Christopher buy the card stock for this trick?
Danny asks: Can this be performed over Zoom? Thanks!
tom asks: What happens when they don't draw what you are prepared for?
Cedric asks: Can this performed as a prediction?
Troy asks: I Purchased IDD and I am looking at the drawing selections. One of them is titled “Universal Image.” What is that supposed to be? Nowhere in the booklet does Christopher Rollins speak to this.
