Visualise by Liam Montier - Imagine a Triumph routine that works itself. That’s right, the only face-up card in the deck is the one your spectator’s thinking of. No dodgy sleights, no funny business with card indices, and definitely no forcing! It comes with a special deck made on Bicycle Stock.
Liam Montier has taken a classic idea and given it a serious upgrade with some slick handling to create a routine that feels like real magic (and trust me, it looks it too).
Visualise is the classic 'Triumph' but with an extra shot of adrenaline. You genuinely shuffle the deck face-up into face-down, and your spectator simply thinks of a card. You reveal their choice without a hint of fishing... and then, like a well-behaved pet, the deck magically straightens itself out, leaving only their named card face up! No forces, no sleight of hand, no messing about - this is the cleanest Triumph you’re likely to see!
Here’s what Liam has to say about 'Visualise:
"A couple of years ago, I set myself the task of trying to create the perfect version of Triumph. There are countless variations and approaches, yet none quite clicked for me.
So, I took a page from the late, great Tommy Wonder’s book and began to envision how the perfect trick would unfold. I came up with this - a deck is honestly shuffled face up and face down - no cutting displays or faff. A card is thought of. The magician names the card with no questions asked. Then, lo and behold, the deck is all face down except for one card... the freely named card.
It took ages - chopping and changing bits, ditching awkward moves or odd displays, experimenting with forces, unconventional techniques, and even deck switches.
Eventually, as always, simplicity triumphed, and I ended up cutting out all the fluff, merging two classic concepts in a fresh way to deliver a sleight-free, moveless, mentalism marvel. This is the result."
How easy is it to do?
Completely self-working. There are no secret moves whatsoever, and the handling is spot on. If you can shuffle a deck, you can do this!
Is it the Same Card Each Time?
Nope, not at all. The spectator has total freedom when picking their card, they can even change their mind, and then you reveal it while the deck is all sorted as well. Anyone peeking in on a second performance will witness the same trick, but with a completely different card.
What comes in the package?
You get the deck and full streaming instructions that teach you the entire routine, plus an incredible bonus routine based on a hidden Roy Walton gem! (What’s the bonus? - Rules of the Game - Liam will also walk you through a vintage Roy Walton gem, but upgraded to utilise the Visualise deck. This new handling simplifies the method, streamlines the effect, and makes it a doddle! This faux gambling game will dazzle in one-on-one situations, but also shines with a crowd gathered round. It’s a real winner for performing in just about any setting.)
