No Way by Gabriel Berlin

Created by: Gabriel Berlin

No Way is a mentalism trick with playing cards where the magician deals 10 cards face up, turns their back, and has a spectator swap and turn over cards two at a time. Despite the spectator's random mixing, the magician can accurately identify a 'Target' card the spectator is focusing on, using only the name of a 'bait' card as a clue. This close-up mentalism trick is based on the Green Neck System, offering a self-working method that appears as utter clairvoyance to spectators.

UnbiasedMagicReviews says...

This is probably the best mentalism lecture that I've ever seen from Penguin Magic [...] No Way will probably be the effect that you run out to perform first because it will take you less than 10 minutes to learn it does use the green neck system it's very logical it's super easy to perform it's really self-working but very very impressive your Spectators will have no idea how it's possible it looks like utter Clairvoyance is what it looks like.
