Experience the Thrill of Pick Your Poison

Step into the modern twist on the classic game of “Where’s the Poison,” crafted by the masters of impromptu magic, Gregory Wilson and David Gripenwaldt. This captivating routine is simple to execute and concludes with a clean finish!

Picture this: two coffee cups sit before you, one hiding the most dangerous poison known to man. You and your opponent must use your intellect to determine who will risk it all by choosing a cup! But fear not, as it’s merely a playful ruse with no actual poison involved. Instead, you and your audience will be cleverly switching cups to avoid a packet of sugar, and you’ll guess correctly every time!

This enchanting performance draws inspiration from a memorable scene in “The Princess Bride,” combined with a foolproof gimmick that ensures you always find the sugar. Expect laughter and gasps of surprise as you unveil the latest Coffee House Conjuring effect: Pick Your Poison.

Here’s how it unfolds:

Two empty coffee cups are displayed, with one receiving a packet of sugar. As you mix them up, you narrate an exhilarating tale of wits, challenging your audience to guess which cup contains the sugar to escape “certain death.” Regardless of their choices, they will always select the cup filled with sugar! They can switch and swap as much as they like, yet they’ll always end up with the sweet cup of doom!

As a grand finale, you’ll vanish the sugar from one cup and make it reappear in the other, creating an impossible choice followed by an astonishing feat, all using everyday items found in a coffee shop.

Like all Coffee House Conjuring effects, everything needed for this miracle is readily available at the coffee prep station. Just a couple of cups and a packet of sugar set the stage for an exciting narrative filled with miraculous moments. This effect can serve as a casual “Which Hand” presentation or an extravagant performance of one of the safest Roulette-style routines imaginable. The method is straightforward and can be assembled in moments. Get ready to engage your audience with the most entertaining guessing game you’ll ever perform with Pick Your Poison!
