Magic Review - Third Eye by Jeff Stone
David from Magic Orthodoxy delivers a thorough review of Jeff Stone's 'Third Eye,' a downloadable PDF available from Stone Cold Magic. This isn't a product with physical props; instead, it's a 35-page PDF with a video demonstrating how to construct a 'big revelation' card. 'Third Eye' is essentially Jeff Stone's adaptation of Wayne Dobson's classic 'Big Revelation,' cleverly combined with a trick deck that allows for card reversals. The routine involves two spectators and centers around a humorous reveal of cards printed on a large sheet of paper, followed by a seemingly impossible appearance of the spectator’s chosen card from a standard deck. David highlights its potential as a two-hit routine, showcasing card technique rather than mind reading. The core relies on the 'Big Revelation' principle and the trick deck's card reversal ability, enhanced by spectator involvement. He suggests it's well-suited for a parlor setting, emphasizing careful printing and assembly of the large revelation card for a polished presentation. The PDF costs $25 and doesn't include physical props. Overall, David considers 'Third Eye' a fun and easy parlor routine that can generate laughs and fill time in a performance, making it worthwhile for magicians seeking a quick and entertaining two-spectator effect.
