Lesson In Murder
A Sherlock Holmes Murder Mystery Magic Trick
A fun routine where you play the detective Sherlock Holmes and an audience member chooses a random character to play as the killer.
There is great drama as you show your evidence board listing all the suspects and their whereabouts at the time of the murder.
Five double blank cards are now shown front and back, and a second spectator draws a magnifying glass on one of these cards with a marker pen. Using this "magnifying glass" the spectator starts to find clues on the blank cards until finally they discover the killer who matches the character previously chosen and written down.
As a finale the detective shows how they knew through logical thinking, before all this began, even before a killer was chosen, who the murderer had to be.
This packs small but plays big.
Easy to perform with the specially printed cards. No sleight of hand.
