Paul Stone’s Overboard

Description

The compact, newly reimagined version of a comedy mentalism classic – inspired by Sid Lorraine’s “The Eyes Have It” from the Ken Brooke line.

Each Overboard is handcrafted, extremely lightweight, and so compact it fits into any carry-on – making it perfect for trade shows, corporate gigs, and parlour performances. It’s a tool designed for the working performer. With Overboard, you can perform instant stooging, a truly clean Invisible Deck routine, and much more – all with a visual clarity that’s hard to beat.

Effect

The magician displays a double-sided board featuring a playing card motif. A spectator merely thinks of a card. Through a sequence of visual gags, the board is flipped and unfolded in various ways – until finally, a large image of the thought-of card is revealed. A strong, visual routine that pays tribute to Sid Lorraine’s original idea, “The Eyes Have It”, where the humorous build-up and the jumbo card revelation are at the core of the routine.
