We’re thrilled to partner with Ollie Mealing on one of the most practical and original effects we’ve seen for a long time. With an intriguing and memorable premise, you’re going to love performing “One Question”!

This unique routine is best described as a combination of card magic, mentalism, and party games like “Heads Up” and “Twenty Questions.” It’s powerful enough to go into your formal show, while also being casual enough to perform while simply hanging out with friends.

You start by writing a card on a sticky note and placing it on your spectator’s head to prove that it’s impossible for them to see what you wrote. They then do the same for you. Without you seeing anything, you’re now going to guess what card they wrote.

Typically, in the previously mentioned games, this is the part where you’d get to ask questions about what’s written on your head. However, that wouldn’t be very magical. So, for this routine, you only get to ask ONE question—and it’s not "what card did you think of". This is the part of the routine where you truly have limitless potential to let your unique character shine through.

Despite the fact that there is no force or equivoque and you never remove the sticky note from your head, you are able to impossibly divine the card they chose every single time.

“One Question” is super easy to do and comes ready to go out of the box. There is no pencil reading or other complicated methods required. You don’t even need to be in the room when they write the card down.

While each set comes with a red Bicycle deck, you’ll also receive an extra gimmick that allows you to customize your favorite premium deck of cards.

Includes: Deck of Red Rider Back Bicycle Playing Cards with a gimmick installed, an extra gimmick, Post-It notes and video instructions.

Customer reviews for One Question

Christian
This is SO clever and simple! Can’t wait for my gimmick to arrive in the post.
Already thinking of several other applications!!
Daren
This is fantastic! Looking forward to later this year when I can use this effect, so clever!
Vince
The gimmick is very difficult to use. It magnifies (which it should not do) making it very difficult to determine the card., It makes a potential great effect extremely difficult. Needs to be fixed with a proper gimmick.
Ty
This is one of my favorite effects i have purchased. Absolutely fooled my spectator, and the only limit is your imagination. Great effect, easy to do, no sleight of hand involved. Great card and mentalism effect!
Joe
Disappointing. This will not work unless several elements are in perfect alignment.
Lighting, absolute flatness of the gimmick, angle at which the cards are held.
I need a refund.
Steven
Although those in the know had a tip to the method, this is a diabolical method for discerning a thought of/selected card. Ole, with the help of Stephen Bridges, does a thorough job of stepping through the routine AND bringing the nuances of this effect home...even with some unusual breakfast choices.

One concern...Is the gimmick material going to REALLY provide a clear view to the final revelation. Awaiting the package arrival. Stay tuned.
Jeff
What a fun trick! Easy to do. Lends itself to a little improv. Can't wait to try it out.
