A visual and self-contained upgrade on a beloved classic of mentalism.
Magicians and mentalists are always in search of incredible experiences unlike anything their audiences have ever seen. “The Paper Cut” by Elvis Zheng and TCC is the truly memorable effect you’ve been looking for.
Here’s what happens in one sentence: Someone thinks of a landmark, celebrity, animal, or message, and you reveal that thought by cutting an image into a piece of paper that you can hand out as a souvenir.
If you think you’ve seen this idea before, you probably have. Oz Pearlman popularized the idea of cutting a reveal into paper with the release of his instant classic “21st Century Phantom” in 2007. This is a phenomenal effect still performed by countless mentalists to this day, including many members of our team. But, it does require you to perform quite a bit of DIY or purchase extra pre-made gimmicks from another retailer.
“The Paper Cut” solves this problem with a self-contained pad featuring four different possible revelations. As it looks just like a normal blank pad when you flip through it, your audience will never suspect it’s actually a secret index of gimmicks that are ready to go at a moment’s notice.
This is a dream scenario for working performers because there is no reset and you can instantly repeat the effect with a new outcome. While it was possible to do different reveals with “21st Century Phantom”, it would often require you to essentially dedicate a full pocket to each force. With “The Paper Cut”, all four reveals are contained in one pad that easily fits in your pocket.
You get 10 of each force, meaning 40 performances are packed into this convenient, portable pad. Offered at a low price, you can easily buy 2 or 3 at a time and not have to worry about running out for a very long time. The forcing lists are also easily reprintable. You could, of course, also use any force method of your choosing.
In addition to the gimmicked pad, you’ll receive detailed online instructions teaching multiple routines, handlings and subtleties. This includes how to have your audience sign the paper before you start cutting and an amazing bonus routine.
