Experience one of the standout effects from Devin Knight’s latest lecture series! Instantly empower any spectator with psychic abilities through this innovative routine, an upgraded version of the acclaimed Blindsight. This new handling is designed to astonish even those familiar with the original.

The premise revolves around the idea that some card players possess a sixth sense, allowing them to intuitively sense the cards held by their opponents. The performer invites a participant to test this theory with an engaging experiment. Four opaque envelopes are presented, each containing one of the four aces from a standard deck. The envelopes are shuffled, ensuring the participant has no clue which ace is inside which envelope.

As the participant selects an envelope, they confidently predict which ace they believe is inside. The performer notes the guessed suit on the envelope’s exterior. This process continues until all envelopes are marked. Once completed, the performer reveals the suits, emphasizing that only three envelopes are needed for the initial phase. The participant sets one envelope aside as their “lucky card,” hypothetically choosing the one marked with Hearts.

Upon opening the three remaining envelopes, the performer reveals that the participant has accurately identified the aces within. The true surprise awaits as the participant unveils the set-aside envelope. Without any interference from the performer, they discover the Ace of Hearts inside, along with a handwritten note stating: “This card was placed aside as your lucky card.” The participant can then confirm that the other envelopes are empty and free of any predictions. Both the cards and envelopes are completely ungimmicked, ensuring a fair experience.

This effect comes complete with all necessary envelopes, gimmicks, and comprehensive instructions covering every aspect of the performance. Use any deck of cards and grab this effect before someone else leaves you amazed!
