6 Colors by Jay Sankey

Created by: Jay Sankey

In '6 Colors', a mentalism trick, the magician presents six envelopes, each containing a different colored slip of paper (white, blue, yellow, black, red, and green). The spectator freely chooses a color, and through a series of eliminations, the magician astonishingly reveals the exact color the spectator was thinking of. This trick is self-working, requires no sleights, and uses simple double-sided envelopes as gimmicks. It's perfect for close-up or parlour magic settings.

What people are saying about 6 Colors

SankeyMagic says...

It's a beautiful effect so direct okay the gimmicks do all the work you can make the gimmicks yourself [...] I think you'll agree that that is a very very strong mentalism effect and no sleights required.
