Emoji Trick by Ellusionist

Effect

The Emoji Trick is a visual and interactive mentalism effect designed for children. A spectator selects an emoji from a set of cards, tears it into pieces, and eliminates choices through a series of steps. Despite the random elimination process, the magician correctly predicts the final remaining emoji. The trick combines prediction, audience participation, and a playful theme that appeals to younger audiences.
