What Happens in Cardvertisement?
In today’s world, advertisements are everywhere. But do they still influence us? Cardvertisement is a clever and interactive performance where you demonstrate the power of advertising in a fun and surprising way. The routine focuses on a single card, which can be placed on a table, in a clip, in a balloon, or even on your breast pocket.
You present various boards to the audience, allowing them to make choices—no forces involved. Here’s a glimpse of how it unfolds:
- Audience Member: “Tea or coffee?”
- Participant: “Tea.”
- Audience Member: “I knew it. Now, red circle or black square?”
- Participant: “Black square.”
- Audience Member: “Ah, so easy. People your age who drink tea usually choose the black square.”
As the routine progresses, the audience’s choices lead them to the exact card you’ve been highlighting—the 9 of Spades. The card is revealed, leaving the audience amazed and entertained.

- No Forces: Every choice is genuinely made by the audience, making the routine feel organic and fair.

Here is what happens:
Nowadays, begins the mentalist, advertisement is everywhere. Does it still work? Or not?
Are we still being influenced by it or not really?
Cardvertisement is a nice stand-up or stage bit where you demonstrate that it hopefully, works. You bring attention to one card and one card only (it can be on the table, in a clip, in a balloon, on your breast pocket etc.)
You then show different boards and have one or many members of the audience make some choices (no forces).
– Sir, tea or coffee?
– Tea
– I knew it. Now look at this board, you want the red circle or black square?
– Black square
– Ah so easy. People your age and drinking tea usually go with black square.
Showing another board
– Black means you have the choice between Spades or Clubs. You see that the spades symbol is way bigger than the clubs one. Will you be attracted by the obvious or it is reverse psychology and you will go with clubs? Which one it’s going to be?
– Clubs
– Ah you are making this so easy.
Showing another board
– Now, odd or even?
– Odds
– YES!
– Ace, 3, 5,7,9, Jack or king…which one?
– 9
– So black, spades, odds 9 that makes the 9 of spades
The magician takes back the card from the clip that was visible on the table and it is the 9 of Spades
