"Envision" By Joe Gray

Name: Envision

Style: Mentalism

Price:£9.99

Difficulty 0-10: 3

Rating 0-10: 9

Available From Ebay only as far as I know.

I bought this last week on Ebay as I have never seen it before and it said it was new.

When I received it I was surprised by how simple it is, there really is not much to it, but you do get the desired effect and that is: You take a blank piece of card (shown both sides) and place it into a small envelope, you can then do multiple things like let the spectator chose any card or think of a number etc.
Then when you rip the envelope open, the number is on the card.

As a trick itself it is not much, but when I thought up ways to use it in my routines it comes into its own.

Overall it was cheap money well spent and it will be a trick I will get a lot of use out of on the restaurant tables.

It seems like the trick described here and the one on Trickshop.com are two different things. One is a drawing duplication, whereas the other seems to be invisible writing, or something to that effect.

Thanks for that hairy - I found the item on ebay and it does look different.

However, You actually COULD perform the same effect described with the trickshop version. It's not the original intention of the effect, but it can be done.

The trickshop one is far cheaper at only $4.95. I got last week and made up my set of envelopes. But I just got the Stealth Assassin Wallet, which makes envision kind of redundant.

Thank you for pointing that out to me, I would have got the trickshop.com one had I seen it first.

Although with the one off eBay I got all the materials to do the trick with it.

As Hairy pointed out, they ARE two different effects. The one you purchased sounds pretty cool, too.

But with a small modifcation and a little something else, you could do both effects with the Trckshop download. Lateral thinking...
