Blindsight 2 by Devin Knight

The performer shows an 8.5 x 11 inch chart that has the names of four different colors printed on it in different color inks. He says he will attempt to confuse a participant's mind. A participant is askedto quickly call out the color of the ink that each word is printed in. Despite his best efforts, he invariably miscalls some of the colors. For example, if the ink is blue, he may say it is red. This is all very amusing to the audience as he cannot seem to say all the colors correctly!

The performer says that if the participant is having trouble correctly naming colors that he can see, perhaps he can do better if he cannot see the colors. The performer says he would like to try anexperiment to see if the participant has the ability to detect colors sight unseen. The performer shows some opaque envelopes and four different large colored cards. The four cards are placed inside the 6x 9 envelopes and mixed so the participant has no idea which envelope contains which colored card. Next the envelopes are held up one at a time in front of the participant. The performer asks the participant to attempt to use Blindsight (the ability to see colors, sight unseen in your mind) to determine which color is in each envelope.

The participant says which color he thinks is inside the first envelope. The performer then writes that color on the outside of the envelope. This is repeated until all the envelopes have a color written on the outside of them. After each envelope has a color written on it, the participant is asked to set aside one envelope for the grand finale.

For a climax, the performer opens each envelope and shows that the participant has successfully used Blindsight to correctly determine which color was in each envelope. The performer has the participantpick up the envelope he set aside and remove the colored card. Assume it is yellow. Obviously, it matches the color written on the envelope because the other three were correct.

This is pretty amazing in itself, but the real kicker is yet to come. The performer states that nobody could have known which envelope and color the participant would set aside. The performer shows the back of the chart (which has been in full view) containing the list of colors. The back of the chart has printed on it: YOU WILL SET ASIDE YELLOW. This makes for a stunning climax that can be seen from the largest stages.

Comes with a full color STROOP TEST Chart with prediction on back to print off your computer on card stock.

REVIEWS

"Thought of as being an underground thinker with much intrigue, Devin Knight has created a solid piece of entertainment with Blindsight 2." - Banachek

"I was impressed enough to say the original version of this was the best effect I saw at Mindvention. Now, a few years later, this version, a parlor/stage version of the original, is still as impressive." - Jheff

"Devin Knight's Blindsight 2 is an awesome effect. The thinking behind it is devious. This is something that packs flat... and plays BIG! Very colorful too. It makes for an eye pleasing presentation, as well as a mind blowing experience." - Tom Craven

"I was introduced to Devin's work when I purchased the original BlindSight back in 2008. When I read through the instructions it was like love at first sight! Never in my 20 years in mentalism (since the age of 8) have I been so excited about a routine like this. That excitement still exists today, as I use it in my professional work as a corporate entertainer. To top it off, Devin came out with BlindSight 2.0 some years later. What an improvement! If you're looking for a clever routine that is devastating for real-worldaudiences and create some credibility for you as a mentalist, get BlindSight 2! It is taking me around the world and is the most requested effect in my corporate performances, both close-up and stage!" - Robert Marsi
