Simon Says (Celebrity Edition) by Simon Lipkin
In the process of playing an ACTUAL CELEBRITY GUESSING GAME; you are able to IMMEDIATELY tell someone the name of the celebrity they are thinking of; even with no clues!
Full Description
Imagine walking up to a spectator, and instead of asking them to pick a card, you have them pick a person. Disguised as a party game where people guess celebrities, this marked deck of cards provides you with the tools to perform very direct mind reading that will blow your audience away. Get inside their head with Simon Says by Simon Lipkin.
Simon Says is accompanied by an instructional video featuring three incredible routines directly from Simon Lipkin’s working repertoire.
The Game
You introduce a brand new party game you bought. It’s a deck of cards with the names of celebrities and iconic descriptions of those celebrities below their name. The idea is you have to describe the celebrity to another player without using the descriptions written on the card, and they guess which celebrity you are thinking of. You then show them that you have learned to play the game with your psychic powers. Another spectator removes any celebrity from the pack that they wish, and without asking them any questions, you are able to immediately tell them the exact celebrity they are holding. Best of all, you can instantly repeat the trick.
Truth Or Lie
A presentation using body reading and micro-expression reading that gives you the ability to know when someone is telling the truth or a lie. They think of a celebrity from the deck, and you read their reactions and reveal the name they are thinking of. Simon shares with you all the tips to make this reading believable and powerful.
One Ahead
You have your audience sign a billet, then you make a prediction, and then they select a celebrity out of the deck. This procedure is repeated with three different spectators, with you always writing your prediction before they cut the deck. They memorize the celebrities they cut to. In the end, you reveal that you successfully predicted not only the celebrities they would think of, but which spectator thought of which famous person.
Along with the routines, Simon will teach you a ton of little tips on double writing, the one ahead principle, and loads of presentational tips that you can apply to all of your mentalism. Simon Says uses a diabolical marking system that uses intuitive, easy-to-read marks that hide in plain sight. The moment you understand how it works, you’ll be able to instantly know the identity of the celebrity on the face of the card without any complicated memorization systems or the need to hide a crib. Simon teaches you a straightforward mind-reading routine you’ll love to perform, but almost any card trick can be adapted to the Simon Says deck, making your magic truly unique. The best part is that it doubles as the actual game it’s masquerading as! When you are done blowing minds, you also have a fun party game that will provide hours of entertainment.
Perform the impossible with a deck that’s destined to be famous when you perform Simon Says by Simon Lipkin.

What the Pros Say
"Simon Says is more than a trick; it’s a tool that will make you look like a master mind reader. What’s more the premise is fun; engaging and so commercial. This is something every magician or mentalist should have in their arsenal. Make sure you pick one up; because trust me you will use it!!" - Peter Nardi
"I love it. This is the only item in the category ‘fun mind reading’ I want to do" - Noel Qualter
"I’m a fan of Simon Lipkin. Simon Says is a killer trick! Regardless of whether your primary focus is magic or mentalism; this is the perfect new tool that deserves its space in your pockets. 100% recommended!" - Dee Christopher
"This is the kind of trick I love to perform!!" - Nikolas Mavresis
"This is so fun. I always love mentalism that takes an existing; simple method in magic but applies it to a brand new theme. What Simon has created here is a naturally justified tool that gets you away from boring card-trick presentations and amplifies the entertainment factor." - Mark Lemon
"This project has an unbelievably strong hook! Simon is an incredible teacher and has some outstanding ideas but even he will admit that his teachings are just the tip of the iceberg. The real power is having the ability to create your own routines using the super simple; intuitive system. This one is a real winner!" - Craig Petty
"Unlike many “non-card” decks currently on the market; this is a REAL game you can play with the spectators to justify not only the prop; but the whole premise of what you’re going to do. This is leaps & bounds ahead of others like it on the market. I’ll be keeping one of these in my working case for sure!" - Joe Diamond
"I love this! Super direct mind reading that is easy to do. The secret system does all the work; you don’t even have to think about it! Ingenious! Totally innocent in every way; this is so devious!” - Marc Paul
"Clever; Versatile & Organic! GAME ON!" - Doug Conn
