Fraser Parker – RPS

Rock, Paper, Scissors
Imagine turning something as simple as rock-paper-scissors into a profound demonstration of influence and control. Fraser Parker does just that, flipping the classic premise upside down to create a routine that practically performs itself. Over three rounds, you don’t just play the game—you control it. The audience won’t just watch the game unfold; they’ll feel your influence at work in every move.

There’s no need for complicated processes or drawn-out instructions. You introduce the game, explain your intent to influence the outcome, and then… you play. It’s that direct. RPS can be performed entirely prop-less, using nothing but your words. And for those moments where you feel you need to take it even further, a simple envelope can prove you knew every move the spectator would make long before the game even began.

Perfect for close-up performances, RPS is a quick effect that works brilliantly as an opener or an interlude to establish credibility with your audience.

But it doesn’t stop there. Included is an update on an older method, where you whisper a few words in the spectator’s ear to gain a psychological edge and then play and win every round—or, if you choose, let the spectator decide whether you win, lose, or draw.

RPS isn’t just a game. It’s a real demonstration of influence, control, and psychological mastery that will leave your audience amazed—and wondering how you could possibly have known every move they would make.
