The Silent Treatment is one of magic’s most iconic opening routines. It has been performed by many top magicians and mentalists all around the world. When Jason Alexander needed an opener for his Magic Castle act, he naturally chose The Silent Treatment.

You come on stage with a set of printed pages. The routine unfolds with you staying silent; the printed words doing the talking. Someone thinks of any playing card. After some playful engagement, the reason for the your silence is revealed. A folded card is in your mouth and revealed to be the thought of card!

Over the years, there have been several variations, but this is the big one… literally! Now someone can name *any* card and the routine is perfect for parlor shows to theatre shows, with the printed pages being visible to everyone.

The Silent Treatment Stage Edition retains the brilliant simplicity of the original effect. It grabs attention from the first moment, draws your audience in, and ends with a jaw-dropping reveal.

The Silent Treatment Stage Edition is a unique, proven, powerful opener for your show.
