Socks by Michel Huot
Michel Huot's Socks is the most attention-grabbing, fun piece of mentalism we've released in years. Socks is simple and strong in premise: you display two packets of cards with different sock designs on each one. You explain the premise: the participant will choose two socks, and you hope that the participant can find the only perfect match. Turning them over, two at a time, you show that each pair is mismatched. When the participant says stop, you place their selections to the side, face down. See where this is going? Well, it's not what you think.
The participant turns over the two chosen socks to reveal they do NOT match at all: yellow stars on one sock and purple stripes on the other. But you then lift up your pant cuffs to reveal that YOU ARE WEARING THE EXACT SOCKS THAT THEY CHOSE. This hits people hard and comes as a complete surprise. It's not a card or coin or rope trick, either. It's a mentalism piece with an article of clothing, and something everyone can relate to.
For the finale, you snap your fingers, and show that every single pair of socks is now a perfect match!
Socks comes with everything you need, including the socks, specially printed cards, and a gorgeous wallet to carry them in. It's easy to do and takes up virtually no pocket space. It is an IDEAL opener for walk-around performers.
We've even included a BONUS effect in which you predict a chosen card on the bottom of the socks you're wearing. The socks and the specially printed cards are high quality and built to last thousands of performances.

"Socks is a fun, interactive routine with a killer surprise ending they won't forget!"

"Socks knocks my socks off. It's funny, mysterious, and not at all difficult. I will use it, so will you."
- Marc Salem
