Janken: Mastering Rock, Paper, Scissors

Janken is an insightful exploration of the rock, paper, scissors game, crafted by the innovative duo Ross Bartels and Fraser Parker.

This collaboration unveils the secrets to consistently winning, losing, or drawing in three consecutive rounds of rock, paper, scissors.

You will engage in real-time play with your spectator, maintaining complete control over the outcome of each round!

The beauty of this method lies in its prop-free nature, allowing for a seamless experience without convoluted processes or hard-to-follow instructions.

Various techniques and options are presented in this unique release, including a version that leads the spectator to trust their intuition, enabling them to predict the game’s outcome and win every round!

Moreover, they will have a tangible prediction they created and kept private from the beginning—no peeking involved.

Fraser also shares a streamlined version of the effect that requires mere seconds to set up. He states, “once again, method and effect have been utilized in such a way that they become almost indistinguishable from one another.” This approach has even astonished fellow magicians and close friends.

Everything is logically structured from a theatrical standpoint, and despite being prop-less, each method is mechanical and practically self-working.

There’s no complicated logic for either you or your spectator to navigate.

You guide the spectator to devise a series of moves in their mind, ensuring they remain unmanipulated. After a practice round, you proceed with three consecutive throws, effortlessly winning, losing, or drawing as desired!

Remarkably, you can even look away and close your eyes during the rounds. It’s that straightforward!

NO language barriers—this effect works in any language.

NO peeks or written notes are necessary (unless the spectator chooses to jot something down as a memory aid).

NO props are required, such as business cards with shapes (unless you prefer to use them as memory aids).

This can be performed as mind reading, a prediction, or both.

A bonus effect features a two-person version where the performer engages two spectators simultaneously!

Ross and Fraser are releasing this as a limited hardcover book, ensuring it remains exclusive to the genuinely interested. Only 100 copies will be printed, and they are expected to sell out quickly!
