Effect
The Color Matrix Routine is a visual magic trick where the magician demonstrates an impossible color prediction. Four colored bags are used, each containing different items. The magician, while blindfolded, correctly identifies the contents of each bag and matches them to the spectators who provided them. The effect combines psychometry (object reading) with precise predictions, creating a strong sense of mystery.
Full Details
The routine is part of the "Nature Bag" set by TCC and Casey Tang. The package includes four drawstring velvet bags, a blindfold, and a video tutorial. The bags are identical in appearance, with no visible markings, making them completely inspectable. The video teaches six peak methods for revealing the contents, along with seven additional tricks, including the Color Matrix Routine.
The marking system is intuitive and easy to remember, requiring no reset between performances. The routine is designed for stage or parlor settings, not close-up magic, and works best with a larger audience. The blindfold enhances the effect, though performers can also turn their back as an alternative.
Who Should Consider the Trick
This routine is ideal for magicians who perform in stage or parlor settings and want a repeatable, high-impact mentalism effect. It suits those who enjoy psychometry or prediction-based magic. Established performers looking to upgrade their act will find value in the professional presentation and durable props.
Difficulty
The trick is easy to learn due to the straightforward marking system. The video tutorial provides clear instructions, making it accessible even for intermediate magicians. No advanced sleight of hand is required, but performers should practice presentation to maximize impact.
