ENTERTAINING MISTER HENDERSON

A unique twist on Joshua Jay’s “Out of Sight” using a regular deck. A visually-impaired spectator thinks of a card, shuffles, and cuts the deck, yet you reveal their card through an extraordinary method. No forcing, no pumping, and nearly self-working.

SUBLIMINAL MARLO

Inspired by Ed Marlo’s classic effect that requires no sleight of hand, this version involves planting a subliminal message in the spectator’s mind. After freely shuffling and making choices, they eliminate all but one card, revealing how their subconscious guided their actions.

PUBLIC SERVICE

This 3-Card Monte routine is presented as an expose, allowing for mistakes without consequence. Ultimately, even the sharpest spectators will be completely deceived.

BURN

A packet effect that simulates Las Vegas-style casino play. The spectator shuffles and deals cards while you demonstrate your card counting skills, predicting the next card before it’s dealt. No gimmicks or marked cards are involved, making it self-working.

BRICard

A fresh take on the Thick Card concept, enhancing its application and appreciation.

POWER OF SUGGESTION

This effect showcases how men actually listen to their partners. After a woman selects a card and provides a clue, the man struggles to find it. When he finally relies on her hint, it proves he was attentive all along. Variations without the BRICard are included.

REVIEW

“I wanted to give a shout out to you and to Michel Potts for his new ebook ‘Entertaining Mr. Henderson.’ Never mind Henderson, I was thoroughly entertained!! While I loved the title effect, and found it exceedingly clever, ‘Burn’ is probably one of the most original gambling effects I’ve seen in years, and the cleverness of the simple gimmick in BRICard has my creative juices overflowing … yeah, such a cliche, but a very apt one in this case! Trickshop and Mr. Potts have another outstanding winner on their hands.”
