Liam Montier – The Seer Deck – review

Phil Sweeting — Thu, 01 Nov 2018 00:01:52 +0000

With the Seer Deck that clever man Mr Montier has combined two old ideas that you may well already be familiar with in a way which opens up a whole load more possibilities…

The Seer Deck core effect

The main effect Liam teaches goes something like this. Two spectators each glimpse a card as you riffle through them. You are then able to read the mind of the first, and then show the second that you had already predicted their choice in advance! This plays even better than it reads – you will get great reactions!

Liam explains the method clearly in conjunction with John Carey who adds some helpful observations. As with many mentalism effects you will need a little confidence/practise to perform this well – but it doesn’t require sleight of hand, rather a small amount of sleight of mouth. And it is routined in a way which makes even this easier than it might be.

The deck is heavily gaffed – so is not really any use for other routines. But you could come up with alternative applications of the deck supplied with a little imagination..

What do you get?

In addition to the cleverly gaffed deck, you get a link to an 18 minutes teaching video. That may sound quite short – but it is ample time to explain all the necessary. You also get (hurrah!) a small sheet of printed instructions. These are written in quite a small font – but I’m always a fan of clear written instructions too.

What do we think?

I’m going to keep this one short and sweet because the effect is. A powerful routine with a clever deck that does most of the work for you. What’s not too like?

The Seer Deck is a real worker – and you can get it from the Merchant of Magic (also available in Red Bicycle cards) for£22.99 (at the time of writing).
