Silent Treatment (Stage) by Jon Allen

This video promotes Jon Allen's Silent Treatment (Stage), an iconic opening routine for magicians and mentalists performing in settings from parlor to theater. Endorsed by top professionals like Mac King and Shawn Farquhar, it's praised for its novelty, charm, and ability to captivate audiences from the start. The routine involves the magician entering silently with printed pages that guide the performance, leading to a participant thinking of any card and the magician revealing that exact card folded in their mouth. Designed for high visibility and adaptability to any language, it requires no forces or pre-show work, making it a reliable and powerful opener that builds curiosity and ends with a jaw-dropping reveal, as used by performers such as Jason Alexander at the Magic Castle.
