A delightfully fun, relatable and powerful routine from David Jonathan, one of the creative minds behind the bestselling effect "Snaps".
"There's three things that my favorite magic needs to be: direct, baffling and practical. Ideal Meal is the real deal!" Kyle Purnell
"Ideal Meal" is a super practical mentalism effect that's easy to do and uses beautifully-designed props based around an idea everyone can relate to—food! It's perfect for pros and beginner magicians alike.
You introduce a variety of cards featuring different meals, drinks, appetizers and desserts from different restaurants. Using it like one big menu, the spectator "orders" (selects) a four course meal. The cards are then turned over to reveal prices on the backs. Each one has a different value. When they are added together, they impossibly match your prediction.
David Jonathan has reimagined a classic principle to bring "Ideal Meal" to life. The method has been cleverly camouflaged in a way elevates the concept and unlocks new features. Everything is self-working and resets instantly. Since no table is required, it is perfect for close up magic and walkaround performers.
The custom-designed cards have been printed on plastic PVC stock for extra durability. You can also customize the prediction to be any style you want from billets to money, gift cards and more.
- No gimmicks or gaffs
- Self-working
- Resets instantly
- Every price is different (you can even show how other choices would make a different total)
- Can be performed entirely in the hands or even hands-off
- Works great for both in-person performances and virtual magic shows
