In 2010, the legendary Wayne Houchin hand selected 7 effects created by Bedros Akkelian ("Spidey") for a one of a kind project. These effects were filmed, edited and ready to go. In 2011, theory11 announced the launch of the WIRE, the perfect outlet for these effects... this is the first one!

The performer places a prediction on the table, he then displays 6 cards with the names of 6 celebrities printed on them. The spectator picks one, and the prediction matches! THAT IS IT!

No switches, no double envelopes, no swamis, no sleight of hand, no spelling numbers. ONE PREDICTION. 100% accurate. No suggestion or subtleties. The spectator can take out the prediction, and you are ALWAYS correct.

"Spidey's Celebrity Match is a deviously clever concept. His magic is engaging, very well thought out and extremely commercial." - Richard Sanders

Special Thanks

Thanks to Wayne and Fran Houchin for Filming and Editing... and being awesome!

Very simple, doesn't work like you think it does (I wish I could explain that without revealing the trick). Overall great trick. But if you are an intermediate magician, I recommend Physco by Spidey.

The idea is clever and simple, which gives you flexibility in your performance in terms of dramatic interpretation and artistry. This is what I call a really solid foundation and clever routine. Nice job Spidey : )

This is my new favourite effect! It's brilliant in every way, no gimmicks, no sleights, no nothing. It does cost a little too much maybe but it will always get great reactions!

Zachary Tan • Singapore • 9/30/2011

This is awesome. Even though I'm not a mentalist, this is still going into my repertoire. Its very easy to do and no special gimmicks are required. Great work!

This is a very good mentalism effect. I'd recommend it any day of the week. Spidey is a really cool guy and this effect can really blow people away. It's very simple, which allows you to concentrate on presentation. Many people say you can learn and perform in the same day. You can, but why would you? Just because it's easy doesn't mean it doesn't deserve practice to make it be the best that it can be.

One of the best mentalism tricks I have seen. Congratulations!

Mario • West VIrginia • 9/26/2011

While based on an old principle, this is a great routine to carry on you or put in your walk-around set. Nice presentation and great thinking by Spidey.

Markus • Germany • 9/23/2011

This is a clever method no doubt and it is well taught, but you can't perform it more than once, as needed in a walkaround/close up setting! Overall he gave it a lot of thought and has some good ideas and improvements to an old method.

This effect kills. Great Job Spidey. I cannot wait for more to come from you.

Wow Spidey you completely blew this girl's mind with this trick! I love it! Keep up your good work.

Yann • Toronto • 9/20/2011

Amazing effect! I got this effect this morning, mastered it in one hour and performed it for a crowd the same night - I got some insane reactions! The Method is so clever and is a complete fooler. Great job Spidey on this one. I will be looking your stuff up!

Anthony • Midwest • 9/20/2011

Excellent! Wonderfully simple method, which allows you to concentrate on your presentation. You should be able to grasp the basic concept within minutes of viewing. Please give this the practice it deserves and you should have a real worker on your hands.

Superb trick.

Nathanael • Mid-West • 9/19/2011

Absolutely ingenious. Not only have I found a permanent spot for this in my act, I literally never leave home without it. And that's the beauty, you can carry these cards where ever you go and you're always ready for a miracle. This is a must buy for any magician wanting an effect where they'll always be ready to amaze.

Bao • Montreal • 9/19/2011

Don't buy it! So that I can keep this for myself. Celebrity Match is an EXTREMELY clever concept. It's a great mentalism effect because it is EASY to do, CLEAN and it fools both magicians and laypeople. This effect will get you great reactions every time you perform it.

Alain • Montreal • 9/19/2011

If you're looking for an effect that's not only original but also blows your audience's mind out of this world, this is for you, from one of Montreal's best magicians/mentalists. This is Spidey at his best.

Absolutely brilliant. So powerful and direct.

Shiggy • Montreal • 9/18/2011

I've seen him lecture this one, and it's a complete fooler! Totally clean too.

Robert • Montreal • 9/18/2011

Absolutely love this effect, and I perform it every time with great reactions. Thanks Spidey!
