SleightfulSaturn Magic - Squidz by Sean Goodman
Sean Goodman showcases his new effect, Squidz, in a captivating performance at Riston Hall. The routine centers around subtly influencing a spectator's choice of an ESP symbol (circle, square, star, umbrella, or cross) using a clever combination of psychological principles and misdirection. Goodman expertly utilizes a reveal bag, a holdout, and specially marked ESP cards and wooden discs. A key element involves leveraging the mind's tendency to remember the first word of a sentence, subtly priming the spectator towards a specific choice. The 'yellow card' trick further enhances the illusion, ensuring a predetermined outcome. Goodman emphasizes the importance of confident patter, engaging presentation, and misdirection to elevate the effect, making it versatile and suitable for both experienced and novice performers. Overall, Squidz promises a unique and memorable close-up magic experience.
