Seeing by Gabriel Werlen

Created by: Gabriel Werlen

The 'Seeing' trick is a mentalism routine where the magician uses three glasses and an imaginary ball to perform an impossible prediction. The magician turns their back while a spectator places an imaginary blue ball under one of the glasses and swaps them around. Despite the swaps and the imaginary nature of the ball, the magician can accurately identify under which glass the ball is placed. This trick elevates the Green Neck System by allowing a second spectator to participate with an imaginary yellow ball, making the prediction even more astonishing. It's suitable for close-up or strolling mentalism performances.

What people are saying about Seeing

UnbiasedMagicReviews says...

This is probably the best mentalism lecture that I've ever seen from Penguin Magic [...] Gabriel Verlin has elevated the green neck system now to another level with this third routine which he calls seeing.
