Saturn Magic - BIGBLINDMEDIA Presents Nothing but the Truth 2.0 by Cameron Francis
Cameron Francis's 'Nothing but the Truth 2.0,' available from Saturn Magic, is a commercially viable card trick that creates a lasting impression on audiences. This tutorial video provides a clear explanation of the effect, which centers around a spectator selecting a card and then answering a series of questions about it, choosing to tell the truth or lie. A quirky 'lie detector' prop, resembling a portable Windows XP device, adds a layer of theatricality and humor to the presentation. The method involves a clever system of card control and data input; for each letter in the spectator's answers, a card is moved from the top to the bottom of the deck, allowing the performer to track the information. Francis emphasizes the importance of audience engagement and creating a playful atmosphere, suggesting framing the process as a 'romantic' endeavor. Ultimately, the 'lie detector' serves as a visual and auditory cue to enhance the illusion, making this trick a strong addition to any magician's repertoire.
