The spectator is handed a pouch, which contains five bejeweled rods and a brass container. It is noted that a different colored jewel caps each of the five rods. The bottom of each rod is also marked with a series of indentations numbering from one to five. The spectator is asked to secretly remove one of the jeweled rods, note the color of the stone and seal same within tube. At the same time closing the pouch, so that the magi will have no clue as to the identity of any of the rods, this is all done while the Magician’s back is turned or he is out of the room. Upon returning, the Magi is able to divine the selected rod within the sealed tube!

Nothing is added or taken away. No questions asked, no magnets are used, no peeks are needed and there are no noises to interpret. This is not a weight method and there are no sliding gimmicks. It is a self-contained effect. Other methods pale to the unique and undetectable method used by Viking’s Trans-Mental Series.
