Fright Night by Andy Nyman - Mentalism Review
Sebastian delivers a detailed and enthusiastic review of Andy Nyman's *Fright Night*, a horror-themed mentalism effect based on his *Killer Elite* routine. As a horror enthusiast, Sebastian considers this effect a personal favorite and frequently performs it, highlighting its alignment with his persona. The effect centers around a custom wallet containing a checklist from a fictional horror subscription box, where a spectator chooses a horror icon (Freddy, Jason, Michael Myers, or Leatherface) to be the victor in a fictional battle. The magician then reveals the spectator's choice, seemingly predicting the winner. Sebastian emphasizes that *Fright Night* is self-working, easily teachable, and portable, requiring only the wallet itself. While he doesn't reveal the method, he acknowledges some cards aren't fully examinable but argues spectators are unlikely to request them. He suggests it's perfect for Halloween or Christmas events and versatile for various performance settings, sparking conversation, especially with horror fans. Sebastian awards *Fright Night* a high rating of 9.5 out of 10, praising its props, ease of performance, storytelling potential, and practicality, recommending it to horror enthusiasts while suggesting *Killer Elite Pro* as an alternative for those who prefer a non-horror theme.
