Nothing But The Truth 2 Trailer with Performance

This video serves as a trailer and promotional piece for Cameron Francis' "Nothing But The Truth 2.0," a packet trick available from BigBlindMedia. The video highlights the trick's appeal and effectiveness, aiming to entice magicians to purchase it. It's a promotion video, showcasing the effect rather than providing detailed instruction. "Nothing But The Truth 2.0" is a self-working packet trick centered around a humorous premise: using a "lie detector" (a cleverly designed packet of cards) to determine a spectator's selected card. The spectator freely chooses a card, and the magician, using a series of questions and card placements, seemingly determines whether the spectator is telling the truth or lying. The trick culminates in a stunning kicker: revealing that all the cards in the packet are duplicates of the spectator's chosen card. The creator emphasizes the trick's commercial appeal, ease of performance, and ability to engage audiences of all sizes. The trick utilizes eight specially printed Bicycle cards and offers two force options: the Queen of Spades and the Four of Diamonds. While the core effect is self-working, requiring no sleights, the accompanying video download (37 minutes long) provides more advanced handling options for experienced performers. A clever suggestion is also offered to encourage spectators to lie occasionally, framing the lie detector as a "beta test" to guarantee they see both "truth" and "lie" cards. The video prominently features positive reviews from respected figures in the magic community, including Endersgame Reviews, Jeff Stone, and Craig & Ryland. Overall, Cameron Francis' "Nothing But The Truth 2.0" appears to be a highly recommended packet trick, lauded for its ease of performance, engaging plot, and powerful final reveal.
