Celebrity Smart-Ass Deluxe (Taylor Swift) by Bill Abbott

"Celebrity Smart Ass Deluxe is a perfect marriage of bulletproof method and commercial presentation all wrapped up into a wonderful new premium package. AND thanks to the large index cards it uses common objects everyone is familiar with. Celebrity Smart Ass Deluxe has a permanent place in my repertoire now...and you can add it to yours!"
-Bill Abbott

Get ready for the ultimate version of a modern classic in stand-up magic. Celebrity Smart Ass Deluxe comes with a set of large index cards featuring celebrity names pre-printed (no more scribbling away like a madman!). This is the biggest Smart Ass deck ever made, measuring in at a hefty 4 inches by 6 inches! Plus, you get two new celebrity revelations to play with, a compact pop-up hamper for your volunteer to toss the cards into, and a sturdy black envelope with velcro tabs to keep your prediction safe. Honestly, it’s the easiest thing to slot into your show.

The Original Celebrity Smart Ass Effect:

You kick things off by challenging the audience’s celebrity knowledge. With a box full of large index cards sporting celebrity first names, you instruct them to shout back the last names. You go through the cards: "Paris!" they shout, "Hilton!" You say, "Leonardo!" they reply, "DiCaprio!" You get the idea. To ramp up the fun, you invite a celebrity whizz from the audience to help.

A volunteer joins you on stage and sits atop a black prediction envelope (don't worry, it’s not a trick chair). They split the index cards between their hands and toss away half into the provided mesh hamper. They do it again, and you’re left with a handful of cards. The participant picks one, and voilà! It’s Taylor (Swift)!

As they hand you the envelope they’ve been sitting on, you reveal a photo of baby Taylor Swift—yup, at three months old! Cue the laughter as you unfold the photo, cheekily mentioning that no one should be offended by the fact that baby Taylor is, well, in the buff. You then ask the audience if Taylor looked cuter as a baby compared to now, before flipping the large tabloid-size photo to reveal a grown-up headshot of... you guessed it, Taylor Swift!
