PERCEPTION by Marco Markiewicz is a direct and convincing mentalism effect in which you reveal a spectator's free-chosen card without having seen the choice.

You use a seemingly normal deck of cards. While your eyes are closed and your head is turned away, the spectator chooses a card completely freely. The card is placed back in the deck and the cards are shuffled. During this entire process, you could not see anything.

Only when everything is ready do you open your eyes. You take a small board out of your pocket and write the name of a playing card on it. When you turn the board over, your prediction turns out to match the card the spectator chose exactly.

The simple and clear structure makes PERCEPTION particularly strong. For the audience, there seems to have been no opportunity to know the chosen card, making the final reveal feel like a genuine mind reading.

PERCEPTION is suitable for magicians and mentalists who love immediate effects without a complicated story. A strong routine where the spectator's free choice and the impossible revelation take center stage.

The necessary gimmick and sign are included.
