Swindle by Steve Cook

Experience the captivating influence effect, Swindle, designed to kick off your performance with flair.

Steve has crafted an easy-to-follow Mentalism effect that packs small but delivers a big impact!

While a simple 50/50 choice is powerful, Swindle elevates that concept to new heights.

With Peter Nardi’s expert routining combined with Steve’s ingenious method, you’re sure to impress!

This effect is straightforward and highly deceptive, complete with all necessary props and comprehensive video instructions.

To demonstrate the principles of influence and human psychology, you present two small tins—one black and one white.

Basic Script:

“In life, we all make choices, each leading us on a unique journey in our minds (typically, there are two paths for every decision). Even when we settle on an outcome, the journey to reach it is rarely direct.

Now, I invite you to select one of these two boxes. You might choose the sleek matte black box, which is popular among most people (if I had to choose, I’d pick that one too), or the shiny white box, which is eye-catching and conveniently closer to you. The choice is yours, but I assure you, I know exactly what steps you will take and have predicted which box you will choose.”

Your spectator follows your guidance and picks a box. Upon opening it, they find a folded slip of paper stating, “I knew you would select this box.” You then reveal that the other box contains a £50 note!

Features:

• Can be performed in any language
• Utilizes any currency
• Both boxes are empty at the end
• Extremely easy to perform
• The ideal opener for any Mentalism routine
• Engaging, impactful, and enjoyable!
