Pop Haydn's Killer Epic

This is an instructional video on Pop Haydn's "Killer Epic." This routine is powerful and entertaining.

In the original routine, the last revelation was the least impressive, the other two much stronger.

This routine ends with an applause cue and a powerful mental effect that stands on its own. There is more build--the strongest effect ends the routine.

At first three individuals are pointed out and each names a digit. This is an exchange of energy back and forth each time.

Then the coin is passed, going up and down rows involving numbers of people.

Everyone else is thinking "will it come to me?" So in a sense the whole audience is alert and interested. There is energy being distributed throughout the crowd.

Finally, the deck is thrown back and forth to three different people. This means that the audience is being "stirred" throughout the procedurals. No one sleeps.

The simultaneous seating of the last test subjects provides the applause cue and button to the routine.

Unlike so many of my routines this one is not character driven and not comedic.

It is in the comfortable performance range of almost anyone. The mystery and the energy of the procedure provide the entertainment.
