Eliminator by Adrian Sullivan

The Effect

This astonishing effect has been a well-guarded secret, impressing even the most experienced magicians! Prepare to be amazed by its simplicity and the seemingly impossible outcome. We are thrilled that Adrian has chosen to share this gem with the magic community.

Here’s how it works: With the performer’s back turned, two audience members each select a card from the deck. Their choices are completely free and vary each time. The deck is shuffled and placed into the performer’s empty pocket. As the participants merely think of their chosen cards, the performer reveals them from the pocket—without any visible moves!

But wait, there’s more! At the beginning of the effect, the deck is shown clearly from both sides. The selections are genuinely free and can come from any part of the deck, which the participants handle throughout. The effect can be repeated instantly with different selections each time. The deck is self-contained, with nothing hidden in the performer’s pocket or added or removed during the routine. The deck is shuffled before being placed in your pocket, and you can even have it placed in one of the participant’s pockets while still locating their selections! For those who prefer a mentalism approach, you can simply name the two selections without revealing them.
