Sebastian delivers a glowing review of Liam Montier's "The Sign," a star sign divination system that's recently gained popularity after appearing on Alakazam ACT. The effect involves predicting a spectator's star sign using a clever card placement method, and Sebastian demonstrates how to enhance the routine with a QR Genie kicker, where a prediction appears on the spectator's phone. The package, priced at $16 USD, includes beautifully printed horoscope cards and a concise 13-minute instructional video. Sebastian praises the effect's simplicity – describing it as “Bare Bones easy” – its portability, and its adaptability to various performance settings, from close-up magic to Zoom calls.
