Red Pill
Two effects from Chris Ramsay's working repertoire. An interactive routine which guarantees to surprise your audience.
RED PILL:
Two decks are presented to two spectators. One open pack of blue cards and one sealed deck of red ones. The sealed deck is placed within one of the spectators hands, the other spectator selects a card from the open pack, moments later the selected card has now vanished from the open pack and impossibly appears inside the cellophane of the sealed deck!
SECRET:
Imagine showing a spectator a sealed deck of cards, placing it between their hands and having them think of a playing card. Now imagine that the card they just thought of is now impossibly trapped and sealed inside the cellophane which has never left their hands! The best part is, everything is fully examinable and they can decide to tear it open to find out how it was done, or keep it sealed as an impossible souvenir!

Customer reviews for Red Pill
The DVD is a complete lesson in everything from the forcing techniques; the sleights (taught with a split-screen, simultaneous right/left camera angle); how to gaff your card box and more. Because the trick is very procedural, I would have loved to see at least one example of it play out with the spectators he filmed in the compelling trailer that is used to promote “Red Pill.”
I recommend this for those of you looking for a special trick in which you don’t mind spending 10 to 15 minutes prepping before each performance and that you can use as a closer for a parlor or close-up show, or to have in reserve for that oh-so-very-special situation when you want to make a lasting impression.
