Start an amazing card mentalism routine as a joke, but end with their jaws on the floor in one of the most honest pieces of mental magic you’ll ever perform with a deck of cards. You may have seen the 52-to-1 gimmick before, but this time it has been transformed into one of the most hard-hitting Thought-Of-Card effects you can perform. This is Juan Capilla’s 52 Knaller.

Your spectator chooses and remembers a card; then they shuffle the deck. Without knowing what or where their card is, you take a guess by removing a single card from the deck. They name the card, and you prove you know what it is by turning the card over and showing that their card is printed on the face. All 52 other cards are also printed on the front. It starts as a joke, but then it gets crazy. You prove that you know which one they were thinking of when they looked at the card they had chosen, and it is the only card that has been removed from the other cards printed on the 52-in-1 card. Next, ask them to think of any card from the 52-in-1 gimmick and lock it in their mind. You draw another card from the deck and ask them to reveal the card they’re thinking of. When you turn the card in your hand over, it’s exactly the card they’re thinking of.

52 Stunner uses a specially printed 52-in-1 gimmick that allows you to perform this mind-reading marvel with 100% accuracy. All you need to do is add this specially printed card to your deck, and you’re ready to perform. There’s only one little trick involved, allowing you to focus on the performance and give your audience the impression that you’re truly reading their minds. Juan Capilla has created a truly special effect that your audience will love. It’s nonstop excitement all day long with Juan Capilla’s 52 Stunner.

The perfect opener—funny, engaging, and powerful. With 52 Stunner, Juan has captured all the impact of the classic Mind Power Deck, but done with a normal pack of cards! I will definitely be using this.”
