Magic Video - Touch Tone by Matt Mello
Description & Effect
The Impossible Touch
Imagine a profound connection to a deck of cards, so intimate that you can 'see' without your eyes. Matt Mello's 'Touch Tone' isn't just a magic trick; it's a demonstration of hyper-sensory perception, allowing you to discern the color of a playing card (red or black) simply by touch. This isn't a parlor game; it's a deeply psychological illusion that will leave your audience questioning the very limits of human senses. Forget marked decks or complex sleights; 'Touch Tone' relies on an ingenious, undetectable method that redefines close-up card magic.
The Spectator's Experience
The beauty of 'Touch Tone' lies in its absolute fairness. Your spectator can take any deck of cards, shuffle it to their heart's content, and even examine each card for any irregularities – bumps, nicks, or marks. They'll find nothing. Then, with your eyes closed, enhancing your tactile senses, you'll reach out, touch a single card, and declare its color with uncanny accuracy. Red. Black. Again and again. The process is clean, direct, and devastatingly effective. There are no suspicious moves, no fumbling, just a pure, impossible moment of insight.
Beyond the Basic Effect: Versatility Unleashed
While predicting red or black by touch is an astounding effect on its own, the true power of Matt Mello's 'Touch Tone' extends far beyond. The secret behind this illusion is a discreet, invisible utility that can be seamlessly woven into a myriad of other card routines. Imagine knowing the color of a chosen card before it's even revealed, or being able to covertly identify specific cards or even a four-of-a-kind during another trick. This principle operates in the background, adding an extra layer of impossibility and enabling you to perform 'miracles' without your audience ever suspecting a secondary secret. It's a tool for the discerning magician, one that amplifies your existing repertoire without adding any visual tells.

In a world saturated with digital distractions, 'Touch Tone' offers a truly intimate and personal magic experience. It's clean, direct, and completely baffling. Matt Mello guides you through every nuance in this digital download, ensuring you master the method and the subtle presentation required to make this effect truly magical.

"There's no way they'll figure out how you're doing this." -Matt Mello
Close your eyes to amplify your other senses and SEE COLOR using only your sense of TOUCH.
Here's what happens:
1. Your spectator can shuffle a deck of cards any way they like.
2. And yet with your sense of touch alone, you can tell whether the bottom card is red or black.
3. Again, they can shuffle. They can even inspect the cards carefully for marks, bumps, etc. They'll find nothing.
4. Once again, closing your eyes to amplify your sense of touch, you can tell whether the next card is red or black.
This is a secret that can easily be used in other tricks discretely, without making a show of it to identify chosen cards, 4 of-a-kind or more.
