THE TELL ROOM

All this after five spectators have shuffled the cards. Directly from Helder’s professional repertoire, this is the one routine he performs when he has only a few minutes to impress and floor his audience.

The relationship between the method and the choreography of the actions is a valuable lesson in deception. Simple, direct, and extremely powerful, this routine will fool laymen and magicians alike. One of Helder’s favorite pieces.

An audience member makes a series of random choices that lead to one final selection of an envelope where the randomly generated card is the only card inside the envelope. An impossible prediction completely self-contained that you can carry in your pocket and perform anytime, anywhere, with anyone. No switches, no add-ons, no sneaky moves.
