Ryan Dux - Black Mirror

Ghost World
***************
A living and dead test with a twist. A simple name divination turns into a ghostly revelation. Your spectator writes the name of a deceased person, that she had known, on a card. You do not see the name.
During the routine you can feel the presence of a ghost. The name card, as well as some other cards, are lying on the table, writing side down. With the help of the pendulum, guided by the ghost, you divine the name card. After that, you reveal the deceased person`s name! All you need is a stack of business cards and a pendulum.

Drawvination
**************
You ask 5 persons to each draw something on a business card. The cards are collected and mixed by one of the spectators. After that, you are able to assign each drawing to each spectator. The last drawing you do not look at, but divine it mentally, turning the effect into a drawing divination. All you need is a stack of business cards.

Voodoo / Voodoo+
*********************
You tell a story of an old voodoo priestess. During this routine, you draw the outline of a hand onto a piece of paper. Let the spectator mark her chosen finger on the paper. As soon as she had marked the finger, you hold your hand above the paper...and a blister appears on your middle finger...on the chosen finger! Your hand never leaves sight after she had marked the finger. ;-)

The classic "Blister" effect...but so much more than this! Built into a voodoo routine, the blister appears without any time delay between the marking of the finger and its appearance. This is different to the classic routine. Every move and every prop is justified. The effect is best performed sitting, but you can adapt the technique used here to walk-aroud, as well.

One of the gimmicks in play is a versatile tool for every mentalist. Knowledge in plain saight. Don`t miss it!!!

You will learn the standard version (Voodoo), as well as an improved version (Voodoo+).
