Princess Test by Erik Casey

Erik Casey introduces Princess Test, a modernized version of the classic Princess Card Trick, designed for today's performers with enhanced fairness and visual impact. In this tutorial and promotion, he demonstrates how a spectator merely thinks of a card from a fanned group, which then vanishes and is revealed as a blank, examinable card held by the spectator. The routine is praised for its practicality, requiring only basic card handling skills, and includes specially engineered props that allow full face displays without awkward angles, plus an optional clean ending for a non-gimmicked finish. Erik, known for his work on Poker Test and POW, emphasizes this as a significant upgrade that delivers a powerful, pocket-sized mentalism effect with the impact of a stage illusion.
