Codino by Andreas Dante (Video+PDF)

Ask your participants to focus their mind using special cards. Then ask them to visualize each digit of their secret code while you look into their eyes. Finally, reveal their exact code, digit per digit.

When you unlock their phones it is super visual and at the same time very personal and touching because it’s their own device.

The effect has been perfected over years during performances in many countries with very different people – both on the street and on stage.

What’s great:
– No set-up required
– Instant reset
– Works fully surrounded (100% angle proof)
– Works for multiple people in the same group
– No new skill to learn
– No sleight of hands
– No branching anagrams or speech techniques
– No mathematics involved
– No stooges or fishing
– No finger print reading
– Gimmicks are openly handled by participants
– The street gimmicks are far smaller than a box of playing cards.
– Suitable even for beginners in mentalism
