Simon Says Celebrity Edition by Simon Lipkin

Simon Lipkin showcases his *Simon Says Celebrity Edition* deck in this engaging promotional video. The deck is a cleverly marked deck designed to transform simple card tricks into an interactive guessing game, resembling a game of 20 Questions where the audience tries to guess a famous person's name. Lipkin emphasizes the importance of genuinely playing the game initially to build rapport and create a natural, relatable experience for the audience. The deck utilizes the SSM (Simon Says Marking) system, allowing the magician to know the selected card regardless of how the spectator chooses it, removing the need for handling the deck and maintaining a sense of fairness. Lipkin shares performance tips, such as repeatedly stating the famous name and acting surprised by the spectator's guesses, and highlights the deck's versatility, suggesting it can be adapted to various card tricks. He encourages magicians to experiment and develop their own routines, believing the possibilities are endless, and uses Kate Winslet as an example of the possibilities.
