John Graham – Name Dropper ( Instant Download )

A commercial effect with an emotional hook that never fails to leave a lasting impression.

Name Dropper by John Graham and Vanishing Inc. is like a powerful card trick and mind-blowing mentalism trick wrapped up into one neat package. You not only divine a chosen card, but also a freely chosen name.

It starts by bringing out a small packet of red cards with some markings on the back. You explain how you don’t want the audience to know what they say just yet and then place them under the card box (which stays on the table throughout the routine).

Someone then selects a card from a blue deck while they think of a person who is special to them. You not only divine this card, but prove you predicted it before things even started.

Before they even have a chance to recover from this amazing moment, you kick things into another gear.

All attention is brought back to the red cards from earlier. Those strange markings are revealed to be letters. Not just any letters though. As you slowly deal them down one at a time, everyone will freak out when they realize that they spell the name of the person they were thinking of.

This plot was first popularized by Paul Harris, whose “Deep Astonishment” trick served as the inspiration for John Graham. Name Dropper is being released with a full blessing from Paul. Not only that, but Paul also commends John for the ways he’s made the routine more practical-particularly for close-up workers and table-hopping magicians.
