Pin by Marc Paul offers a brilliantly simple method for obtaining written information. The unique feature of this effect is that the PIN envelope can be openly displayed at any time during the performance.

Basic Effect: You present a yellow envelope marked with the word PIN to your audience. A spectator is invited to take a card from the envelope and think of a 4-digit PIN number, which they write down. After sliding the card back into the envelope and sealing it, you demonstrate that the envelope is opaque. You then place the envelope in your pocket and, without any further interaction, you reveal their secret PIN number through mind reading!

Pin is incredibly easy to perform, allowing you to focus on your presentation rather than the mechanics. The design and durability of the PIN envelopes make them suitable for close-up, parlor, or stage performances. Along with the props, you will receive a video tutorial featuring Marc and Peter, where they share insights and demonstrate various routines, including Marc’s complete PIN revelation and a two-person routine. They also discuss using Pin in popular effects like the Magic Square and CAAN.

You’ll be amazed at how deceptively simple Pin is. Since PIN can stand for Personal Identification Number, Product Identification Number, or Public Information Notice, your spectator can write anything on the card, offering limitless possibilities beyond just PINs.
