School for Scoundrels

A female spectator mentally selects one of five actors; a male volunteer silently chooses an actress, they then mix their photos in a secret procedure so not even the spectators know where their selection lies. You mix the photos, hand them back, concentrate, then immediately announce the two chosen celebrities!

Next, for a DOUBLE kicker climax, you snap your fingers and the selections magically switch places in the spectators' hands!

Complete with ten full-color celebrity portraits (nine inches high for great visibility), technical manual, and of course the latest Black Rabbit Girl collector's postcard
