Believe was released in 2006 to a limit of 100. In this 2 DVD set, it is packed with many variations and ideas. This effect was inspired from Paul Harris’ Anything Deck.

The essentials of this effect is basically a combination of a selected card revelation (via a seemingly cold reading)as well as a selected word revelation. The selected word is written on the selected card and which is revealed from a sealed envelope. There are other similar effects by other creators such as Alan Shaxon’s Confabulation, Al Koran’s Medallion and Luke Jermay’s Room 101.

To perform this routine, you need to prepare gaffs. These gaffs are readily available and cheap. Included in the DVD is also a PDF file on the preparation of the gaff. One of gaff will wear off eventually but you can always refurbish it or make a new one since it’s so easy to make one. All the items can be picked up from an office supplies store. With the items prepared, wear a jacket and you’re ready to perform.

This routine is very well thought out, every move is motivated and thus, your spectators won’t be suspicious of you. There are no difficult moves at all in this routine. The most difficult part of the routine is probably the presentation part.

There are different ideas from different contributors. Some are streamlined using post-it pads instead of steno pads. Some variations use Tarot cards as well as movie themed cards. With gimmicked decks, you can make the routine easier to do. There is even a no jacket version in PDF file.

This is a very well produced DVD, in terms of picture quality as well as the content. If you are currently doing a mental effect for your walk-around, you should take a look at this wonderful routine.

Highly recommended. Rating 4.5/5.
