Seeing
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.
