Introducing Moniker by Scott Creasey
A simple, multifaceted routine you can carry in your wallet.
Four blank cards, eight words, multiple revelations and much more.
Names, places, emotions, objects, lies, truth and more.
The contents includeBasic Moniker
A spectator mixes four cards. Each card has two common names written on it. She thinks of one of the names while the performer's back is turned, and he reveals the name she is thinking of.
Mendacious Moniker
A liar/truth teller routine. Four cards, eight names. Which name is she thinking of, and is she lying?
A single question reveals all.
Physical Moniker
Four cards, eight objects. A spectator visualizes drawing any of the objects, and the performer duplicates it in real time.
Minimalist Moniker
A stripped-back, impromptu version. While the performer's back is turned, a volunteer writes three names on three cards and mentally selects one. Still with his back turned, the performer is able to reveal the selected name.
Observations and ideas
Multiple variations and additional ideas. Squeezing more out of the information, revealing unspoken thoughts, and adaptations for cabaret and stage.
Mix and Match
Combining subject matter to add variation and additional layers of deception. Increasing the number of selections and the choices available.
All this and more packed into 31 pages.

"It is clever, and I like it a lot! Especially as it uses something which I really like and use in different and various routines of my own."
