Michel Huot's SOCKS is the most eye-catching, downright fun piece of mentalism to hit the scene in years. The premise is refreshingly simple yet powerful: you show off two packets of cards, each featuring different sock designs. You set the stage by explaining that a spectator will select two socks, and your hope is that they’ll find the one perfect match. As you flip them over two at a time, it's clear that each pair is a complete mismatch. When the spectator says stop, you place their selections aside, face down. (Spoiler alert: it’s not what they think.)
The moment of truth arrives as the spectator reveals their chosen socks—one with yellow stars, the other with purple stripes. But wait! You then roll up your pant cuffs to unveil that YOU'RE WEARING THE EXACT SOCKS THEY PICKED. Talk about a punchline! It hits harder than a surprise bill at the pub. And just to keep things interesting, you snap your fingers and—voila!—every single pair of socks is now a perfect match!
SOCKS comes packed with everything you need: the socks, specially printed cards, and a classy wallet to keep it all in. It’s a doddle to perform and takes up hardly any pocket space. Honestly, it’s the IDEAL opener for any walk-around gig. (Because who doesn’t love a good sock reveal?)
Oh, and did we mention the BONUS effect? You predict a chosen card that’s hiding at the bottom of the socks you’re wearing. The socks and printed cards are top-notch quality, ready to endure thousands of performances without batting an eyelid.

"Michel Huot's SOCKS knocked mine right off my feet! So clever and simple with a fun and organically visual payoff, this piece will play just as strongly in a corporate strolling environment as it will in a casual private party. Michel's performance and explanation made me smile from start to finish. Just great!" - Francis Menotti
"SOCKS knocks my socks off. It's funny, mysterious, and not at all difficult. I will use it, so will you." - Marc Salem
"SOCKS is unique and super strong. It is so rare to have something that combines magic, comedy and surprise in such a powerful way for the close-up/parlor performer. This is going right into my repertoire!" - Marc Desouza
