Visualise (Red) by Liam Montier

Visualise by Liam Montier – A totally self-working Triumph routine. Their thought of card is the only face up card in the pack. No sleight of hand, no mis-indexed cards, no forces! Comes with special deck on Bicycle Stock.

Liam Montier has taken a classic principle and mashed it up with some killer handling to create a monster of a routine. It’s so hands off and clean that it really does look like real magic.

Visualise is the classic ‘Triumph’ – but turbocharged to the nines. A deck is genuinely shuffled face-up into face-down, and a spectator thinks of a card in the deck. You reveal their selection with no questions… and then the deck straightens itself out, apart from the freely named card! No forces, no sleight of hand, no kidding – this is the cleanest triumph you’ve ever seen!

Here’s what Liam has to say about ‘Visualise’:

“A couple of years ago, I myself the task of trying to create the perfect version of Triumph. It’s a plot that has so many variations and approaches, and yet none stuck in my set.

So, I followed the late and great Tommy Wonder approach, and set about imagining how the perfect trick would look. I came up with this – a deck is honestly mixed face up and face down – no cutting displays or nonsense. A card is thought of. The card, with no questions or fishing, is named by the magician. Then the deck is all face down except one card… the freely named card.

It took a long time – chopping and changing pieces, removing difficult moves or funny looking displays, experimenting with forces, unorthodox techniques and even deck switches.

Eventually though, as always, simplicity rules, and I ended up cutting out all the fluff, combining two classic ideas in a new way to give a sleight free, moveless, mentalism wonder. This is the result.”

How easy is it to do?

Completely self-working. There are no secret moves at all, and the handling looks perfect. If you can shuffle a deck, you can do this!

Is it the Same Card Each Time?

No, absolutely not. The spectator has a totally free choice when she decides on her card, she can change her mind, and then you reveal it, and the deck is all sorted too. Anyone sneaking a peek at a second performance will see the same trick, with a totally different card.

What comes in the package?

You receive the deck and full streaming instructions teaching you the full routine, and an incredible bonus routine based on a hidden Roy Walton gem! (What’s the bonus? – Rules of the Game – Liam is also going to teach you a vintage Roy Walton gem but updated to use the Visualise deck. This new handling simplifies the handling, streamlines the effect and makes it super easy! This faux gambling game will play beautifully one-on-one, but also work as a party piece with lots of people crowding round and joining in. It’s a real doozy for performing in almost any environment.)
