Andrew Gerard's 'The Color Of Money' is a chair routine that plays as impossible as it reads.
3 chairs - 4 envelopes
Someone in the audience is given the choice to decide which of the four envelopes the Mentalist will KEEP for himself. And that audience member will hold that envelope safe, out of the Mentalist hands, for the moment being.
Other 3 people will freely choose one of the 3 envelopes left and each of them goes to sit in one of the 3 chairs on the stage.
Did I mention that during this phase the Mentalist is seated in the audience (close to the first spectator / judge holding the first envelope) and is eating some popcorn while he watches the whole thing unfold itself, as if he was one member of the audience?
The finale is twofold...
First: The envelope which the first spectator / judge has chosen for the Mentalist TO KEEP is the only one containing one check for TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS! A remarkable proof of subtle influencing, you would agree.
Second: The 3 other spectators and they freely chosen envelopes discover that inside each envelope there is only ONE piece of colored card which matches the color of the seat they have chosen for themselves. Another rather impossible feat in itself.
Strong points:
No pre-show!
No Stooges!
Envelopes are OPENED by the spectators NOT by the Mentalist!
Mechanically EASY to perform!
The presentation (and the popcorn idea!) is refreshing!
Now, I don't want to hide you one thing While the mechanics are easy, the smooth presentational style requires some command on the part of the performer. Price aside this should not be bought by novice people or armchair Mentalists just out of curiosity.
