Charades by Dan Ives

Steve Faulkner reviews 'Charades' by Dan Ives, a clever mentalism trick where spectators think of a film, act it out, and the magician correctly guesses it. The deck looks like a board game, making it feel authentic and engaging. Faulkner praises its strong performance potential, audience interaction, and the detailed hour-and-a-half tutorial included.
