Perfect Score 2.0

How many times have you tried to do a Mercury Card Fold, only for the card to come out uneven, bulky, or just slightly wrong?

It’s one of the most useful sleights in card magic, but when the fold is off, even slightly, it doesn’t look right, especially if you’re going to switch it in.

“Perfect Score 2.0” by Jon Allen gives you a simple way to prepare your cards so they fold cleanly, consistently, and naturally every single time.

The original Perfect Score became a trusted tool for magicians who wanted a more reliable Mercury Card Fold, and this updated version makes the process even faster and easier. In just a couple of seconds, you can prepare a card to fold neatly into quarters or sixths, giving you confidence that it will collapse exactly the way you need it to during performance.

“Perfect Score 2.0” is a single-piece rigid template that lets you score your cards with a push pin, needle, safety pin, blade, or another suitable object. Unlike the original version, there is no dedicated scoring tool required. You also do not need to place it flat on a table, making it quicker and way more practical to use.

Once the card is prepared, the fold feels smoother and much easier. That means less fumbling, less fighting with the card, and less chance of being caught “doing a move.”

This is great for Card to Box routines where the folded card needs to match the card already seen inside the box, or where the signed card has to fit into a tight space. It also helps remove the guesswork caused by off-center back designs, misprints, or blank cards. “Perfect Score 2.0” gives you the same reliable score lines every time.

And it is not just for Mercury Card Folds. You can also use it for folded-card revelations, torn-and-restored card routines, pocket indexes, and other effects where a precisely folded card makes the handling cleaner and more deceptive.

In the tutorial, Jon also teaches an add-a-number prediction routine, where the total of several freely written numbers matches a prediction that has been sitting in full view from the start.

If you perform Card to Box, impossible locations, or any routine that depends on a clean folded card, “Perfect Score 2.0” is one of those small tools that can make a big difference.

Comes with the “Perfect Score 2.0” unit, push pin, and bag.
