As seen on Season 7 of Penn & Teller: Fool Us, this little gem from Tyler Twombly, "Face Test", is a hearty 1.5-hour tutorial that dives into a rather nifty psychological principle known as "The Thatcher Effect". Essentially, you’ll learn how to twist ordinary portraits into something that’ll have your audience questioning reality—just by rotating the photo in your hands. It’s a delightful blend of optical illusion and magic, served with a twist (pun absolutely intended).
You will learn:
The "Framed" trick, where faces morph slowly as you rotate them. Seriously, no visible moves—it's practically self-working. Ideal for social media, TV appearances, and parlor settings (because who doesn’t love a good face twist?).
Every nitty-gritty detail of the routine you saw on Season 7 of Penn & Teller: Fool Us. You’ll master 3 easy (and nearly invisible) moves that let you transform multiple portraits right in front of your audience. By the time the transformations take place, the hard work is done, and you can focus on your dazzling presentation.
Included:
A detailed Photoshop and Gimp tutorial for crafting your own customised faces—because who doesn’t want to be a digital Picasso?
Clear visual explanations of all methods to create and use the gimmicks to their fullest potential (you’ll be a pro in no time).
A READY-TO-PRINT Face Library, so you can jump straight into performing without having to mess around with any photo manipulation software.
Features:
NO magnets
NO threads
NO palming
Utilises easily obtainable supplies from your local craft shop (yes, really).
BONUS TRICK:
Visually pluck a real 3D moon out of the sky! (Just don’t ask for the moon’s phone number, alright?)
REQUIRED:
A love of psychology and magic (if you’re not into both, what are you doing here?).
Practice (yes, that old chestnut).
Positive mental attitude (PMA)—because a good mindset goes a long way.
