A prediction is casually placed on the table, untouched by the performer from that moment on. With a little nudge from their own intuition, the spectator is able to unveil the identity of the predicted card.
Equivocation, you say? Not so fast!
"I'm too respectful to say that I told Taha to **** off when I turned over that card, that day, in that bar. But I meant every word of it. The - intentionally - hesitant delivery (although being a staple ruse of mine) definitely fooled me, making me oblivious to the wealth of subtleties he and his devious Israeli doppelgänger crafted and streamlined. I didn't only bite, I also swallowed that big hook carefully hidden in this beautiful presentation. I am genuinely impressed. I won't say that Taha and Ori are great, or very clever. No. I'll give them my highest accolade: I'll say they're subtle."

"An Israeli and a Lebanese guy start a Zoom call..."
Sounds like a punchline waiting to happen, doesn’t it? But for us, it marked the beginning of something quite special.
Welcome to One2Match - a refreshingly clever twist on the classic 'Mystery Card' plot.
In this project, we’ll share one of our all-time favourite routines. With over an hour of in-depth explanations, we cover every nook and cranny to help you nail this effect too.
And if that doesn't tickle your fancy, supporting a project brought to you by an Israeli and a Lebanese chap could just be the start of global harmony (or something like that)...
"One 2 Match ticks all the boxes for me. It is both simple and direct in performance, putting the participant firmly in the limelight, all backed by a cunning mix of methodologies. What’s not to love!!!"
- Michael Murray
"Taha and Ori have created something special here. I always get excited when people find new ways to apply old principles. It's a fun, impromptu routine that will convince even the hardest of skeptics you can influence their thoughts."
- Peter Turner
"One 2 Match is such a clever combination of mentalism and psychology guaranteeing a killer ending, that will ALWAYS work."
- Paul Brook
"10 out of 10. This is my new go-to routine. It's great, definitely recommended."
- Alex Alejandro
"These guys came up with a brilliant EDC routine. You can perform this almost propless miracle with any deck of cards. Good job!!!"
- Perseus Arkomanis
"Taha and Ori have done a great job in devising and combining various principles and subtleties to create 'One 2 Match'. I had the privilege of seeing the effect early on when Taha kindly performed it for me. It's a direct and engaging routine with a hard-hitting reveal. Everything appears absolutely fair, especially since the participant seemingly thinks of the information in their mind. As a fan of these kind of effects, 'One 2 Match' is something I look forward to learning and adding to my bank of close-up mentalism routines. I'm sure many others will feel the same. Great stuff!"
- Ross Bartels
Q&A:
Q - "Will it forever transform my way of thinking about mentalism, or life in general?"
A - The project? Probably not. But Taha's hair might.
On a more serious note, our aim with this effect was to guide the spectator on a journey of self-discovery, rather than just another trick - and it was with that mindset that we embarked on this adventure.
In this effect, your participant won’t be left scratching their head over the method, but rather pondering the connection you both shared and feeling as if they’ve uncovered something new about themselves.
We’re absolutely confident that you’ll appreciate the small, intricate subtleties we’ve sprinkled throughout. After all, it’s the little things that count.
Q - "What exactly is taught in this project?"
A - The best way to answer that is with a list of the chapters included:
- "Full Performances"
- "Introduction"
- "What is a Good Reaction?"
- "The Pottery Force"
- "Handling the Value"
- "Putting it all together"
- "Bonus Section"
Q - "How does the effect play out?"
A - The spectator is invited to read the performer’s mind by trusting their own instincts. To keep things simple, the information is merely a playing card. The performer places the prediction on the table from a deck of cards, and from that moment, it’s untouchable. Then, the spectator divines the card step by step before revealing the prediction and discovering they were spot on.
We can bet you’re wondering...
Q - "What makes this version of 'Mystery Card' different than all the rest?"
A - Well, it boils down to two main points.
Firstly, the methodological perks:
- No gimmicks required; any deck will do, even a borrowed one
- No sleights necessary
- No equivocation at play
- No switches to perform
- Once the prediction hits the table, it’s left alone
The second benefit lies in the presentation:
The routine flows beautifully, with natural connections between its parts, methods, and presentation.
Q - "Is a Gummy Bear more of a bear or more of a gum?"
A - Unlike "What is a good reaction?", tackling this one is biting off more than we can chew.
