Experience an extraordinary interactive mentalism effect from anywhere in the world. Created by the renowned master of Verbal Magic, Juan Tamariz, and expertly presented by Dan Harlan, Temptation is a captivating prediction effect that explores themes of fate and desire. Perfect for performances on Zoom, Skype, or even via phone, this effect, taken from Tamariz’s acclaimed book Verbal Magic, is a stunning piece of mentalism that will astonish your audience.

Here’s how it works: The audience generates five slips of paper, each marked with numbers on both sides, alongside a list of temptations and corresponding times of day. One audience member selects a numbered slip and mixes the others, flipping them over. After thoroughly shuffling, the chosen slip is returned to the mixed numbers, and the visible numbers are summed. The first digit determines a time of day, while the second digit reveals a temptation. Remarkably, despite different initial selections and shuffling methods, everyone ends up choosing the same time and temptation from the list. You can even tailor the list to suit your performance style, whether it involves objects, emotions, or other themes.

Originally showcased on the radio by Juan Tamariz, this effect is just as impressive in live settings as it is online. With Dan Harlan’s expert guidance, you’ll grasp the mechanics of the effect, along with a complete presentation and essential nuances for executing this interactive mentalism piece, even from a distance. This easy-to-perform trick is a powerful addition to any magician’s repertoire, making Temptation by Juan Tamariz, presented by Dan Harlan, a must-have for performers of all skill levels.
