The Red Carpet is entertaining mentalism with an ending that is so surprising and funny, it is sure to bring the house down!
We are a society that is obsessed with celebrities and famous people. Their sometimes fairy-tale stories are published all over, and many of us seem drawn to these reports. Everywhere we turn there is some story about someone famous doing something! You display a large sketch book of celebrity and character illustrations drawn by your friend. No, your friend is not a stalker—just an admirer of the rich and famous! The book contains 40 different images of famous people and personalities. An audience member is brought on stage and allowed to randomly select one of the images from the book. The spectator mentally focuses on their chosen icon. Then, while you are blindfolded by the “Red Carpet” (actually a red fabric bag that covers your head to prohibit any peeking!), you actually fail to find the name. After what appears to be a botched attempt at entertaining and mystifying the crowd with an experiment in telepathy, you whip off the hood to reveal you have now transformed into the exact likeness of the chosen celebrity. A hilarious smash climax that will bring the audience to their feet!
When originally presented in its debut performance, the routine caused such magic notables as Sid Lorraine, Howard Lyons, Norm Houghton and Bruce Posgate to give a standing ovation! This closely guarded routine is now being released to the public for the first time.
You are supplied with EVERYTHING YOU NEED to perform this trick, right out of the box (or the film can, as it were!), and that includes the comedy, audience-tested 8 minute routine.
This includes a sketchbook with custom, hand-drawn, ROYALTY-FREE celebrity and character images. This sketchbook is a GREAT feature, as any performer can use it without any worry of copyright infringement during performance.
"***Please note that the 39 royalty-free images in the book were chosen so that they would be recognized by almost anyone from around the world. Here is just a sampling of SOME of the celebrities that you will find in the book: Albert Einstein, Queen Elizabeth, Elton John, Mick Jagger, Arnold Schwarchenegger, Superman, Mickey Mouse, Darth Vader, Bruce Lee, John Lennon, Nelson Mandela, Madonna, Princess Diana, Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Tom Cruise and Gandhi. In addition, you can be rest assured that an audience of any age will have no doubt in their mind not only who the revealed icon is, but also that you look exactly like them when the red fabric bag is removed."
Each trick is hand signed, numbered and comes in an authentic metal film-reel canister from the movies!
Celebrity and character images in the book include:
HM Queen Elizabeth II
Madonna
Albert Einstein
Sylvester Stallone
Jack Nicholson
Halle Berry
Paris Hilton
Dr Spock
Elvis
Superman

Diana, Princess of Wales
and many many more.....
Last saturday morning I got Jason Palter`s "The Red Carpet" which I had already preordered. A few hours later I had a big show (wedding) in which I wanted to try this effect out! The reactions were UN-BELIEVABLE! I did this effect as the end - and the whole audience raised! I couldn`t believe it! This effect is really cool and it is worth EVERY ***ed BUCK!! You don`t need to be a Lance Burton / You don`t need dexterity - it works almost automatically! The transport is sooo small and even though it guarantees BEST entertainment!
NEVER before I was so happy about a trick!!
I don`t want to talk You into buying this trick - I just want to tell You that this effect is a real WINNER! And I`ve already said Jason Palter that it is my PERSONAL WINNER!!!
'Keep thinking about this effect! If You want to get a standing-ovation and if You need the certain something in your show which makes the show more special than the show of many other magicians - just buy it! I can give You the guarantee that You won`t regret it!' -Gabriel . Switzerland

'I just got my package in the mail today. Before I give a brief review, I want to make it clear that I do know Jason. We've spoken on the phone a time or two about a different project and chatted online a number of times. In fact, I chatted with Jason tonight and he asked me for my HONEST opinion, and I gave it to him. And I'm going to give my HONEST opinion here too. You need to know that prior to the package arriving, I knew no more than anyone else did. I had only seen the same preview all of you have seen. With that being said, here's the review.
The trick is awesome.
I don't know how else to describe it. I was very surprised when I opened the package. The quality of the contents was much better than I expected. Jason eluded to this in an earlier post, but the sketchbook is phenomenal. The artwork is beautifully, professionally done. It's printed on a very thick cardstock. No shortcuts whatsoever were taken on the production of the sketchbook.
The instructions and routine were professionally printed. There was a performance DVD included as well. The other materials included in the package were more than satisfactory.
The Climax
There has been a lot of talk about the climax to this effect. All I can say is when I saw the climax, a big grin came over me. In my opinion, it's absolutely perfect. I had ideas and expectations, and I almost didn't buy the routine because I didn't want to be disappointed with the climax. Everyone has their own opinion, but I love it and think it's perfect.
Last thing I'll say is now that I've seen the package, I know exactly why Jason didn't show anything on the preview video. I can't say much more than that. As soon as I opened up the package, it made complete sense for someone who wants to protect their hard work.'- Eric Lott. USA
"I love this! I've never thought of performing mentalism until I saw The Red Carpet...Genius!" - Jeff Hobson
