The trick includes a bonus routine called 'Night at the Oscars,' where the chosen movie’s theme plays as a phone ringtone, adding a fun and interactive element to the performance.

It uses a set of mini movie poster cards, which are small enough to carry in a close-up situation but large enough for parlor or stage performances. The trick is designed to be practical and works in any setting. It includes multiple routines, such as having the spectator read out a list of movies from the back of the card, and a phone-based reveal where a pre-written number calls to announce the chosen movie.
