Soulmate by Hide & Sergey Koller

Effect

The Soulmate trick uses a specially designed board that allows a magician to change written words or images instantly. The audience sees the magician write or display something on the board, and with a simple turn, it transforms into something completely different. This can be used for comedy, mentalism, or psychological illusions, making it highly adaptable for different performance styles.

Full Details

The Soulmate prop includes two dry-erase boards, markers, a felt case, and a comedy script by Cody Fisher (for the "Eat/Fart Routine"). The A3-sized version is ideal for stage performances due to its visibility. Unlike tricks that rely on invisible elastic, Soulmate uses a durable flap system, ensuring longevity.

Key features:

• Instant reset – Ready for repeat performances immediately.
• Examinable – No suspicious elements remain after the trick.
• Versatile – Can be used for forcing, mentalism, comedy, and hypnosis-themed routines.
• Pre-written routines included – Such as Cody Fisher’s "Eat/Fart Routine" and Wayne Dobson’s "Sex Routine" (modified for broader appeal).

Who Should Consider the Trick

Soulmate is ideal for:

• Stage and parlor magicians – The large A3 version ensures visibility for bigger audiences.
• Comedy performers – The "Eat/Fart Routine" and similar gags work well in interactive shows.
• Mentalists – Can be used for PK touches, psychological forces, and memory-based illusions.
• Magicians who value durability – The flap system ensures long-term use without wear and tear.

Information on How Difficult It Is to Perform

The trick is easy to learn and can be mastered in minutes. The method is straightforward, requiring no complex sleight of hand. However, performers should practice smooth handling to ensure the transformation appears seamless. The included routines provide a strong foundation, but customization is encouraged for personal style.
