J C Sum - The Red Envelope

🎩 A Presentation Utility for Mentalism Routines

“The Red Envelope” started out as an evolution of Kenton Knepper’s Original “Kollosal Killer” but now has sprung multiple applications to enhance psychological illusions and a wide range of mentalism routines beyond “Kollosal Killer”.

The original routine is as follows:

The mentalist displays a thin leather wallet and explains it contains a red envelope and a prediction in the form of a single playing card.

He opens the wallet to show a red envelope inside the clear window pocket on one side of the wallet. The mentalist explains that he will reveal the prediction card shortly as well as the contents of the envelope. He removes the red envelope and sets it down on the table.

The mentalist has a spectator mentally select a playing card in the fairest possible manner with no ambiguous choices to be made.

Upon naming the thought-of card, the mentalist opens the wallet and removes a single face down card and places it on the table.

The spectator is invited to turn over the card to reveal the prediction. The red envelope is opened to reveal its contents for a show-stopping finale! ✨

“J C Sum has my official permission to release “The Red Envelope”, and I am happy to have him do so. For “Kolossal Killer” fans, this will be a welcome addition.

This presentation and variation on my original method can be quite entertaining indeed, and J C has been sure to give you all the little touches for what he does. I even contributed a few notes on his idea myself.

I am sure that you will enjoy “The Red Envelope.”
