    Sweet and Clean Mentalism!

    I’m not a lover of tricks that predict 1 out of 3, but this baby is sweet! Instead of just saying you chose red, orange, or blue, you also predict which plaque you were going to place it on. Doubling the odds. Alan you are hot!

  2. Todd Reis

    Interesting idea

    As usual nice props for a simple multiple out trick.

  3. George Guerra

    Simple and Clean!

    Colored chess piece matches the color in the tablet it is placed. No forcing as Alan gives you all the necessary outs. Though the outcome can vary it can not be repeated. Simple woodworking but a nice addition to any Warner collection.

    Great Effect With Unremarkable Props

    The effect on this is good, especially if you get the right combination. I showed it to a person and they got a really eerie look on their face, like they have seen a ghost. Remember, this isn’t just a one out of three chance…try 1 in 9 possible combinations!

    I feel that the construction and materials used are not quite as nice as some of Alan’s other effects, but I wouldn’t pass this up due to the strength of effect.
