MIND BALL is a custom-made Magic 8 Ball-type device that allows for a routine that combines solid amazement with built-in amusement. It just may be the ultimate party trick -- wherever you have a group of people, you can perform MIND BALL.Two spectators -- one male and one female -- select cards from an examined and shuffled deck using what appear to be ultra-fair conditions. The magician does not touch the deck during this process. The male spectator is left with a card in front of him, the female spectator with a card in front of her. They concentrate on their cards, and the MIND BALL not only reveals which cards were selected, but whose is whose! Throughout this participatory routine the ball can be passed around, reading the minds of people in the audience, as when it is not revealing a card it is saying something amusing.
