David Garrard's LINEUP

Gary

A clever and very commercial application of an old principle. I highly recommend this effect since it is more than a one trick pony. This can be used in conjunction with a variety of mentalism/bizarre magic presentations. This item is well made and, if properly cared for, will last a long time. I would recommend keeping the booklet and reveal envelope in a dedicated, padded envelope especially when placed into a briefcase with other props for transportation. I would also recommend copying and printing on business card stock paper a copy of the pictures of all the "current suspects." This adds interest and clarity to the effect. Without question, this is an effect that you can easily adapt to your own style and presentational needs.
Although there is no sleight of hand involved, you will need to practice your handling of the booklet until it becomes second nature. Failure to put in the practice time will result in something less than a smooth and seamless presentation. Do not let the fact that this effect can be easily understood result in your failure to rehearse! If you put in the necessary time, you will be rewarded with an outstanding and highly entertaining effect that will be a joy for you to perform.
