Experience the magic of Maurice Fogel’s classic, “Bewitched, Bottled and Bewildered.” This captivating mentalism effect combines vibrant colors, mystery, and audience engagement, all woven into a compelling narrative with a clear climax. The synergy of these elements creates an unforgettable performance that resonates with audiences.

In this exclusive release from Trickshop.com, we present a groundbreaking approach to this timeless effect, allowing you to perform it anytime and anywhere without the need for costly props. Here’s how it works: A spectator mentally selects one of five different bottled drinks displayed on your table. Each bottle is concealed with an inverted paper bag and mixed. The spectator reveals their chosen bottle while you turn your back and mix the bottles themselves. Once they finish, you turn around to reveal five cards numbered 1 through 5. Your assistant shuffles these cards and hands them back to you. After cutting the stack, you place a number card in front of each covered bottle. A different audience member, who has been holding your sealed prediction since the beginning, is invited on stage to open and read your prediction. As the covers are lifted from the four bottles behind the other numbers, the final cover is removed to reveal that the spectator’s chosen beverage corresponds exactly with your prediction. You then present a glass and bottle opener, inviting your assistant to enjoy their selected drink.
