Effect

The K.E.N.T. trick allows a magician to perform a powerful card revelation using only a wallet. The audience sees the magician remove a single card from their wallet, which matches the spectator's freely selected card. The effect resembles an invisible deck but fits inside a standard wallet, making it practical for everyday use.

Full Details

K.E.N.T. is part of Kenton Knepper's "Kolossal Killer Complete Training" bundle, which includes multiple PDFs and a video tutorial. The method involves a clever way to conceal and reveal a chosen card without traditional sleight of hand. The original version was designed for billfold wallets, but modern adaptations work with slimmer wallets like the Shadow Wallet. The bundle also includes "Killer Konceptions," a 113-page document with additional routines and mentalism applications.

Who Should Consider the Trick

This trick suits magicians and mentalists who want a practical, impromptu card revelation. It works well for performers who prefer minimal props or need a backup for card tricks. Mentalists will appreciate the psychological presentation options, allowing them to frame the effect as mind reading rather than card magic.

Difficulty

The method is simple to learn but requires proper wallet setup. Some wallets may need minor adjustments, as explained in the included materials. The performance relies more on presentation than technical skill, making it accessible to beginners while still offering depth for experienced performers.

What Magicians Say

The reviewer from Mentalist on a Shoestring praises K.E.N.T. for its versatility and strong audience impact. They note that while the initial setup may take effort, the effect is worth it. They also highlight the value of the additional PDFs, which expand the trick's applications. One magician initially disliked the method but later changed their mind after seeing its potential. The reviewer concludes that K.E.N.T. remains a must-have for those who want a reliable, wallet-based card revelation.

mentalistonashoestring says...

Kolossal Killer is one of those effects that has stood the test of time. [...] I actually prefer the out to the actual hit—it appears much stronger in the eyes of the humble spectator.
