Simultaneously read the minds of multiple audience members using just a single deck of cards. Direct from his critically-acclaimed show, Bill Abbott breathes new life into the classic Tossed Out Deck with “Poker Face”. He performs it at every show and so will you!
“Poker Face” by Bill Abbott takes the idea of reading tells in poker and expands it into an amazing and engaging routine that can fill any room. It’s easy to do and fits in your pocket. Bursting with a ton of amazing moments and a super fooling ending, this is a workhorse of a routine you’ll love performing.
Five members of the audience are invited on stage. After a bit of byplay that allows you to learn more about them, you arrange everyone in a row. They are then each given a chance to freely peek at one card and memorize it.
Now, it’s time to showcase your ability to read each person’s tells. You’ll soon name some cards. The participants are instructed to sit down if they hear their card. So far, it might sound similar to most of the Tossed Out Deck routines you’ve seen. But, here is where things get interesting…
You name five cards and four of the participants sit down. An 80% hit rate! You’d definitely take those odds if you were a poker player. But it’s not good enough for a magician or mentalist. Determined to get it right, you make a physical connection with your participant and are now able to name the exact card they chose. No miscalls needed.
Bill Abbot has been performing “Poker Face” for over two decades and has fooled countless magicians along the way. This routine is both magical and funny, offering a ton of natural scenario-based moments for comedy. Everything is unbelievably fair, which is why it always leaves jaws on the floor.
You’ll receive a custom-printed deck of cards that allows you to easily perform the full routine, including the amazing ending where you nail their thought-of card. As with all Bill Abbott releases, this is a professional quality product with the instructions to match. In addition to the super easy main handling, you’ll also learn all of the alternatives, subtleties, and jokes needed to make it a true powerhouse.
