Name Dropper by John Graham is a captivating close-up card trick where the magician reveals a spectator's thought-of name spelled out on cards. Starting as a simple 'pick a card' routine, it escalates into a stunning revelation of a name the spectator merely thought of, using a custom deck and a leather prediction wallet. This trick is perfect for magicians looking for a powerful, reset-free performance piece that combines mentalism with card magic.
David from Magic Orthodoxy reviews 'Name Dropper' by John Graham, available at Vanishing Inc for $35. The trick allows magicians to reveal a spectator's thought-of name on cards, using a custom deck and a leather wallet. The deck is ready to use with no setup required, and the trick requires no reset, making it table-to-table ready. The tutorial video is 56 minutes long, covering performance, setup, and step-by-step instructions. Pros include no reset needed, three force cards for multiple performances, and high-quality materials. Cons involve memory work for letter locations and limitations with long or complex names. The trick is a one-hit wonder and cannot be inspected due to its nature. David praises the trick for its ease and effectiveness, recommending it for fans of similar effects like Paul Harris's 'Anything Deck'.
