Persona is a brilliantly simple, crowd-pleasing close-up effect from David Jonathan and Vanishing Inc. that’s bound to get your audience chuckling.
"A contender for trick of the year!" - Craig Petty
"Genius method and a real crowd pleaser. Devious and yet so easy to do." - Cameron Francis Pose a series of questions to someone, and then use the cards to spell out whatever answer they provide (you can even let them take the reins on this bit). The questions? Totally customisable. Ask as many or as few as you fancy, and the answers are 100% free (no hidden fees, promise).
In the end, they’ll be left clutching one card, whilst all the others reveal negative traits like "selfish" or "rude". The grand finale? They flip over their card to discover it describes them as "awesome" (the only positive trait in the mix, naturally).
No forces. No equivoque. No memory work. No sleight of hand.
This straightforward and unforgettable routine is self-working, thanks to the custom cards designed with Phill Smith. David's streamlined a principle from his bestseller "Profile", resulting in an easy-to-do gem that doesn’t require you to remember anything. You’ll be wowing your mates within minutes of opening the box.
"Brilliant thinking! A perfect opener!" -Simon Lipkin
"A devious method" - David Regal
Persona also includes a set of cheeky bonus cards for a more "adult" twist. In this variation, all the non-chosen cards are positive traits, and the one they hold reveals they’re an "A-hole". In the right context, this one gets a hearty laugh (and maybe a few gasps).
Both sets of top-notch custom cards come snugly packed in a classy faux leather wallet, adding a touch of sophistication while keeping your cards safe on the go. Plus, there’s an online tutorial to get you up and running with Persona in no time.
Persona is engaging, memorable close-up magic that’s a piece of cake to perform. Grab yours today!
