PIN THIEF
UNVEIL SECRET INFORMATION AND SWIPE THEIR CARD RIGHT BEFORE THEIR EYES.
The thought of someone uncovering your innermost secrets is unsettling. Yet, the idea of someone knowing your bank PIN is even more alarming!
Invite a spectator to jot down their PIN number. Due to the sensitive nature of the trick, they will need to alter one digit. After this, two additional cards are introduced, labeled “Computer Password” and “Internet History”—two more secrets the spectator may wish to keep hidden!
The spectator’s PIN is shuffled with the other two cards, ensuring no one knows which card holds their confidential information. The performer then astonishingly identifies the card containing the spectator’s sensitive data without looking! All three cards are handed back to the spectator, and the performer dives into their mind to reveal the PIN!
As a stunning twist, the performer whispers the altered digit in the spectator’s ear!
For a jaw-dropping finale, the performer demonstrates that having accessed their PIN allows them to also take the spectator’s card. With a simple gesture, the spectator realizes they now hold only two cards—their PIN card has mysteriously vanished, only to be found in the performer’s pocket or wallet!
This routine is a powerful, commercially viable piece that is a joy to perform! Filmed at the renowned Alakazam Studios, I am joined by the incredibly inventive Dave Loosley, who contributes some fantastic additional insights!
