Simon Says (Celebrity Edition) by Simon Lipkin

Imagine walking up to someone and saying, “Don’t pick a card… pick a person.”

That’s the clever twist at the heart of Simon Says by Simon Lipkin—a deck that looks like a playful party game, but quietly gives you the power to read minds with frightening accuracy.

Disguised as a celebrity-guessing game, Simon Says replaces numbers and suits with famous names and iconic descriptions. The rules are simple, familiar, and completely disarming. That’s what makes the magic hit so hard.

Here’s how it plays out:

You introduce a fun new game. A spectator freely removes any celebrity from the deck. Without asking a single question, without fishing or hesitation, you immediately name the exact person they’re thinking of. Then you do it again. And again.

No buildup. No backtracking. Just instant hits.

Simon Lipkin teaches three powerhouse routines straight from his working repertoire:

The Game
A spectator removes any celebrity while you never touch the cards. You reveal who they chose as if you’ve mastered the game using nothing but psychic intuition. Instantly repeatable and deadly direct.

Truth or Lie
A subtle blend of body reading and micro-expressions lets you identify a thought-of celebrity while apparently reading their reactions in real time. Simon shares performance tips that make this feel authentic and unsettling—in the best way.

One Ahead
Multiple spectators, multiple predictions, all written before any choices are made. In the end, you correctly predict who thought of which celebrity, locking the routine together in a beautifully layered finish.

The real secret is a diabolically clever marking system that hides in plain sight. It’s intuitive, fast to read, and requires no memorization or crib sheets. Once you see it, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.

Why Simon Says earns a spot in your case:

• Pick a person, not a card
• Easy-to-read marking system
• Multiple pro-level routines included
• Instantly repeatable
• Doubles as a real party game
• Adaptable to your existing mentalism

When the show is over, you can hand the deck out and let people play the game for real—never suspecting they just handled the secret.

If you want mind reading that feels casual, modern, and completely impossible, Simon Says gives you a deck that does the talking for you.
