I agree with every thing said but don't let them look at all the cards after the performances I did with my son in law who recognised the method immediately

So clean and deceptive . This even fools magicians! The cards can be shuffled, you never touch them, and you can still know which movie they picked from their voice.

Great idea , will fool everybody , easy to use , 5 mins and your up and running , little bit of work involved but the result is worth it , just wondered if as said in the streaming other cards are avaailable

Excellent simple idea for anyone to use, easy to carry and perform

Screen Test – Steve Dimmer Product description : Well, finally a refreshing trick which does not involve playing cards, coins or smoke ! You have a bunch of postcards with famous movie poster printed on them and at the back of each, there is the list of all the movies you have in the pack. Each movie is different. Spectator chooses one, put the other ones away and begins to read the list at the back of his card so you can feel in his voice what movie he has chosen. And you suceed ! This is a pretty straight forward explanation of the routine but you will have to put your own presentation around it. Price and where to buy it : This is sold at $46 and you can get from any partner of Murphy's Magic ! What you get : You get a small cardboard box with inside, all the postcards which are, in a way, gimmicked but still, they are examinable. The quality is great and they're well printed. You also get a postcard with all the movie on it as well as a link and code to watch online instructions you can download. The instructions are well shot, as you would expect from Alakazam, and clear. It doesn't take long to understand the working but they do teach you a lot more than that. Pretty happy with what I get. Teaser : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dakgkbkyW3s The pros and the cons : Here is the core of my review, let's begin with the cons, as I will usually be doing, I prefer to keep the good things for the end. THE CONS : If a spectator wants to compare every card, he simply can't. But the way the routine is constructed, this won't happened. Some of the movie are more famous than other so people might wondering if some movie don't exist but a quick research on internet will show that every movie of the pack does indeed exist. It's a little bit expensive for what you get. You are paying the idea here rather than the props and I wish it was a little bit less expensive. THE PROS : This trick is fooling, I've done it to many layments AND magicians and they simply haven't got a clue. I think you could do it twice without them noticing anything. When I received the trick, I didn't watch the explanations and I've looked at the cards like a layman would do. Honestly, I couldn't find anything at all and this mainly because I didn't know what to look for. Everthing seemed to be fine, all the movies were in the same order at the back of each card.. I trully couldn't find the secret or the way the cards were gimmicked. This method is very easy to learn, you will know the movie because if you do this trick a lot, they will be in your minds quite easily but even if you forget them, they are several ways to do it without knowing the movies and the presentation woudl be identical. So very pleased that memory work isn't an issue here. The method can also be adapted to a lot of things, from movie to actor's name or even places around the world, the possibility are endless. Language isn't a probleme neither because you will be able to easily find a way to use it with your own language. Also, the fact the poster are in english is not an issue for me, I just adapted my presentation and I say that a friend of mine bring me those back from the States and people does know how posters look like, they were the same here in France, it's just the title which differ but nothing really that could be an issue. Overall rating : Well well well, this trick fooled me and I know it would fool a lot of magicians, the question right now is : will I use it ? Maybe not all the time but I can see myself pulling those postcards at an event and starting a discussion about them and I can see the trick playing very big. It's hard to decide wether to put 3 or 4/4 hearts here, I will go with 4/4 hearts even if I won't be using this on a daily basis, I like the routine enought to keep these cards with me and definately doing this ! As for the difficulty level, you will have to remember the movies so you can get the best presentation possible, it's best to know the plot of each movie so you can adapt your revelation but if you forget them, you still can do the trick. 3/5 stars. Similar products : If you like this plot, make sure to check Jim Kleefeld's Cinema Verite, it's a similar routine with a different working ! Thanks to Murphy's Magic for sending me this product !

best trick since directors cut use both together brilliant

Trick of the year! Been performing this and getting fabulous reactions. If you could read minds this is how it would look. And thanks Peter for fooling me for the first time in a long time!!

i got this today( fast ). i already knew the system cause i got the streaming video in the day i orderd. im not a professional magician only do it for fun to family and friends.have not perform it yet but like it a lot.

Brilliant! Ordered Monday, received Thursday, (great service again) watched the video once and was ready to go. Great trick

Very rarely i find a gem and a real worker that i will use in every set...This is one!! Complete fooler

Brilliant! True instant reset. Nobody I have performed this for has a clue.Love the second phase. As an experiment, I performed it to the same person twice in a row - no problems!

I love movies, I love magic, so no one who knows me will be at all surprised when I offer to try to read their minds about a movie. Excellent quality props, simple but very effective method. Despite the ads, I was convinced that there would have to be some form of memory required, but you really don't need to - you CAN, if you wish, and it will probably make it even more slicker, but it's not necessary to do any memory work - it really is self working. And although I haven't tried it yet, I LOVE the bonus idea involving a ring tone. A superb addition to my magic collection; it's the box office hit of this summer for me!

Truly Stupendous. For something so baffling, performed straight out of the packet, drawing on all theatrical, mystic mentalism presentation leading up to the reveal. A quality pack.

Just a wonderful ,easy to do ,but fools everyone,good on you Pete

excellent piece of commercial mentalism, an absolute fooler!

Excellent piece of magic So, so deceptive and so hands off, can't wait to start using this!

This is a great piece of mentalism. Simple but powerful in its presentation. No reset is great. I will be using it

MUST HAVE!!! this is a fantastic trick, brilliant reactions from everyone, very easy to do, a little memory work needed but nothing major. It's a routine that I'll always have on me. Well done Steve Dimmer & Alakazam!

An excellent piece of magic. So simple in design but so deceptive. I absolutely love this.

I have to say this is first class! Not only are the card produced to a very high quality, but the method floored me. I thought I had an idea and the actual method is so much better. For the best presentation you do need a little memory work but not a lot at all and built into the routine are verbal pointers if your memory isn't great. The online video is also of the highest quality, clear concise and not boring. This is something I can add to my working set right away, method is so easy its all about presentation, can't wait to run with this one, really please I ordered it.

Oh My! So easy to perform but so poweful an effect this really is. You can perform it virtually straight out the packet and it has a genuine instant reset. This is a true worker. Very highly recommended.

Ive literally just received this. Having already watched how this works, i can see this is so so simple to use. I cannot wait to work with this. Good quality. Well done. Brilliant!!

This is just fantastic!!!!!!!!! A simple idea that allows for superb presentation and depth.The quality of props just adds to the luster of the routine. Just one VERY small gripe- it would have been nice if the crib card had a plain back and not an advertisement for 'Screen Test' so that it could be handled !

Love it Love it Love it the first time Peter did Screen Test for me I wanted it, before I know how he did it I wanted it, when I found out how he did it, I Loved it. so simple yet so clever and the best it's so easy to do.

Absolutely brilliant, innovative, baffling and real world friendly. Clear and simple methodology concealed in layers of presentation, scene setting and story telling. In the right hands will deliver the nearest thing I have seen to real magic and actual mind reading. Outstanding production values once again.
