The Effect
From http://www.penguinmagic.com/product.php?ID=633
A user picks one card out of 8. It is shown to be the only red card in the blue packet :!:


Cost
$5.95


Difficulty
(1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,
4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only)
3 - easy sleights


Review
This trick is so simple, and yet so effective. I don't know where the name came from tho.

The packet is easy to prepare, and it's a good mentalism to get away from the 'pick a card show them their card' tricks. Resets instantly, you can perform it more than once but I would advise against, as the trick will move from mentalism to a trick deck. Good for table hopping possibly.

Too bad it's not examinable, but from the preview you can see there is no need to examine it, you've already shown them the cards.

Overall, a great trick worth investing in. Cheap, quick, and doesn't use gaffs. :wink:


Overall
8/10

Looks a little bit like a variation of 8 card brainwave by Nick Trost I believe. Nice effect though.

Hmm I did a search but couldn't find a vid of 8 card brainwave. Is it a brainwave pack? The sites say it comes with cards, so I ask. KB uses normal cards, tho you can guess it's not examinable :oops:

8 card brainwave uses ordinary cards. Not those found in a brainwave pack. Its on Ammars ETMCM vol 1 or 2 I think?
