Devin Knight – Unleaded

Experience a revolutionary approach to spirit writing that requires no chemicals. The magician introduces a pad of paper and shares insights about traditional spirit writing methods used by mediums, which often involved slates and chalks in dim lighting. In this modern rendition, participants will engage in spirit writing using only a sheet of paper and a toothpick, all in full view.

The performance begins with a sheet of paper being torn from the pad, which is handed to a participant along with a toothpick. They attempt to write their initials, but nothing appears since toothpicks contain no lead. Next, the participant is given a real pencil to write their initials on the paper, demonstrating that it is an ordinary piece of paper. A card is then secretly chosen and left face down on the table without any forcing or prior viewing.

The participant selects a toothpick from a box, ensuring there are no hidden writing devices. The magician claims they will channel a spirit that will enable the toothpick to write like a pencil, revealing the name of the unknown card. With eyes closed, the magician holds the toothpick against the paper, and astonishingly, real pencil writing (automatic spirit writing) appears, with the participant’s initials above it. The complete name of the card, such as 5 of Hearts, is revealed, matching the face-down card. The spirit seemingly channels the card’s name, creating a captivating moment.

There are no concealed devices or gimmicks involved. Spectators can see the toothpick writing on the paper, and the magician’s hands can be shown freely at any time. This effect includes a complete set of toothpicks, a pad of paper, and detailed instructions with multiple variations. Plus, it features a hilarious comedy routine where you channel the spirit of Elvis, guaranteed to have the audience laughing uncontrollably!

As a bonus, with UNLEADED, you can perform various effects that typically require a nail writer, using just a sheet of paper and empty hands. This allows for predictions and revelations that appear to have been written in advance, all without any gimmicks.
