Magic Tricks

Insane by Andy Nyman

 

Stock Note: Isane DVD's are currently out of stock but we expect more in within then next few days. Any order containing Insane will ship the week of November 12 once the new stock arrives. Thanks for your patience!

Do you believe in fate or destiny?

You remove an envelope from your pocket. It is sealed. There are no secret compartments or hidden flaps. You explain that inside this envelope, there is one prediction. One card, sealed. No matter what the spectator says or does, nothing can change the outcome. It is fate. It is determined.

You give the spectator a deck of cards. They examine. They shuffle.

You are completely sure of your prediction, and to prove it, you tear open the envelope, showing a face down card. You are committed. And to make things even MORE fair, you turn the card over. They see the identity. They see the future.

After they finish shuffling, you ask the spectator to start dealing cards one by one onto your left hand. Whenever they feel like it, they can stop - and deal the NEXT card face down onto your right hand.

When the moment feels right - when intuition strikes - they stop dealing.

They deal the next card face down onto your right hand, leaving just two cards: your exposed prediction, and their face down selection. Suspense builds. How could they POSSIBLY match? They examined the deck. They shuffled the deck. Nevertheless, their card is slowly overturned, and it MATCHES your prediction.

30 minutes of detailed instruction by Andy Nyman: actor, magician, co-writer, director, and producer for Derren Brown. Andy is a man of many talents, and within this DVD, you’ll get a front row seat showing the inner work of his dangerous mind. Everything you need is included, with specific, premium props hand selected by the creator.

Insane by Andy Nyman The spectator chooses any card and any number, and it'll ALWAYS match your face up prediction.

You show the spectator your prediction BEFORE the trick begins. The spectator shuffles and deals to any card. Their selection matches the prediction.

Really good, but I don't like the fact that you don't end clean.

Great effect. But what can I say, it's Andy Nyman. Anything that has his name on it is always great.

I'll be honest, this trick is NOT worth it. It's over priced. I found it a bit annoying and you can just see there is something fishy going on! If you're looking for a perfectly priced, perfect in every category trick then you NEED either Mathieu Bich, or Jason England. They are both VERY good at what they do. They are straight up forward, and have AMAZING effects. DO NOT BUY THIS. SAVE FOR Mathieu Bich, or Jason England.

Simple method, but works fantastically nonetheless. Everything you need for the trick can be carried on your person very easily, which is always a plus. Overall great effect, worth the money for sure.

I just love this effect. I mean, this is so awesome and difficult for people to figure it out! It was very suprising for me when I watched the tutorial. Great effect, however I think this trick is a little bit overpriced. Still, I would highly recommend to buy this awesome effect.

Shortway • USA • 12/01/12

This effect is great, but you have to have a kind of control on your spectator, because not a lot of us would feel comfortable giving the cards to the spectator. There is no room for mistakes in this effect.

The method is quite simple but the reactions are amazing!

Feufol • Avignon, France • 11/17/12

I received it yesterday and spent time to "play" with this. The method is simple and effective. The effect is good, and will be very strong if you work your patter. And, since all you need fits inside a little envelope, you can have always have it with you on an ordinary day. I already love it.

Andy Nyman creates effects that are simple in method, but get amazing reactions. This is no exception - get it now!

H&HMagic • Oklahoma • 10/13/12

I absolutely love Insane! The gimmick is brilliant, and the effect is completely angle proof. This one is a score for T11 and Andy Nyman. I definitely recommend it. It is very simple, easy, and gets the best reactions. This trick can use a borrowed deck and raises no suspicion. 5 out of 5!

Revilo • London • 10/05/12

This trick has a lovely feel about it. Tis is not about the method/gimmick (which is easy and fun to use), it is about the whole feel of 'fate' or 'destiny' that it gives to the spectator. This is Andy's contribution to, admittedly, an old method to make it five times more powerful and beautiful.

Very simple and very practical. Looks great!

Ricardo • Mexico • 10/02/12

I love this effect, it's amazing. Very easy. $19.95 is fine but not perfect - could be cheaper.

Peter • West Hollywood, CA • 09/24/12

A very simple but effective method. If you can ramp up the performance, you're bound to score some great reactions.

This trick is wonderful, however similar work have being publish before. This could have been priced a lot cheaper.

This is so practical and workable! Good job Andy!

Joel Sandberg • Stockholm Sweden • 09/21/12

Wow, this trick is so epic and gets badass reactions, but I have to admit that it was a bit pricey. But well worth it in the end, I suppose. :)

I don't usually get effects from theory11. Putting aside it's simplicity, I believe it is so simple that it strikes like a punch. For spectators, it's a perfect demonstration of intuition. I have made it myself since I have the things required to make the effect possible, and honestly.... it's brilliant!

Mark C. • Ireland • 08/15/12

This trick is a very good idea. It's great and easy to perform but for $19.95, it's a bit too expensive.

Corey S.E. Johnson • Charlottesville, VA • 07/11/12

This is a wonderful product! I have had great luck, as of late, in ordering wonderful effects. I find these pieces to be very professional. I think all tricks should be not only this easy but this stylish. It really has a way about it that can make a performer look several times more brilliant. Andy Nyman is a wonderful performer and creator and we share similarities in style, which is maybe why I love this effect so much. There is one problem, which you will get over because it's a small one. He discusses how to deal with it on the DVD. I hope to see a bunch more from him in the future and I highly recommend this effect to everyone. Plus, I think the price is perfect since you receive everything you need with the DVD. This one is a real worker and should be cherished!

Saad Khan • Athens, GA • 07/06/12

If you're into mentalism at all, this is a must-buy. Direct, clean, simple, this is what having real powers would look like. There is a gimmick involved, but everything is included and it's painless to construct. Works with any deck, even a borrowed one, and there are barely any sleights involved. The effect almost does itself.

Benny Brown • Wirral, UK • 07/05/12

This trick is incredible! I honestly love this effect. It's powerful and angle free as long as you're careful with a specific move! I must say, worth buying!

James W. • Denton, Texas • 07/03/12

The effect is so easy, practical, and powerful! If you want a hard hitting effect that is simple and direct, get this! You won't be disappointed!

Greg Rostami • On the Event Horizon • 06/29/12

Very clever method. Clean, simple, examinable, angle proof - what more can you ask for? This is going into my act.

Alex Crow • Russia • 06/26/12

The trick itself is pretty hard-hitting, it really looks impossible and almost has no "blind spots." I should note that the effect, sadly, shouldn't cost $20. Still a great trick anyway.

Amazing.

Unbelievable. Really so excited to perform.

Phillip • Texas • 06/25/12

First off, it look great. I was a little skeptical about it at first, then I saw Derren Brown's name in the description. That's all I needed to see.

James Conner Wadsworth • Georgia, USA • 06/23/12

This is a very strong and hardhitting effect. It actually seems as if fate or destiny actually took place!

Jon Carmichael • Iowa, USA • 06/22/12

Real magic! I'm ordering this ASAP!
