Colors are powerful. Intimately connected to our perceptions, our emotions, and our personalities, colors are an excellent tool for mentalists to connect with an audience and leave a lasting impression
Enter the Iris Deck from Taylor Imagineering, the newest tool for forcing a color in a beautiful and organic way. Composed of a stack of custom made paint chips in an array of vivid colors, the Iris Deck can be handed to a participant and examined before making a seemingly random selection. Miraculously the performer is able to connect with the participant’s personality so strongly, read their emotions so well, that the performer knows what color the participant unconsciously selected.
Beautifully designed and easy to carry everywhere, add some color to your performances with three original routines from the creative mind of Christopher Taylor. Or explore the full spectrum of possible routines by designing one of your own.
Excite the senses and intrigue the mind with Iris – a prism of possibilities.
Now this effect has been reimagined to look like a Hardware store’s paint sample card! They may even recognize it!
Joseph Daniels was instrumental in this reimaging and has devised a masterful handling and presentation for Palette! Come see him perform Palette at the Arcane Relics booth at Magic Live 2024!
More information and videos coming after Magic Live 2024! For now lets look at Iris by Christopher Taylor:

Vince Wilson (store manager) –
I just want thank Chris Sipes for the amazing work he did in recreating Dr. Pritchard’s Box of Poison. It is handcrafted solid wood and has amazing secrets! Chris’ talent in technology allows you to see the final reveals from across the room. Amazing! Also, it includes an HH Holmes package inside. OH! It also has more reveals than ever. If you get one, IM me and I will tell you how to add more! Truly a marvel and I think easily customizable for any show. Make it a Ripper box, Titanic, Chicago Gangsters, witchcraft and more!

Whilst I have yet to “play” with my Poison Box (neighbours and locals beware!), I endorse Vince’s comments where I can. Most importantly of all, it really LOOKS authentic – but then, of course, it really did come from Holmes ‘s Murder Castle(!?!). It’s the sort of prop which adds the right amount of “atmosphere” to a performance; a mixture of intrigue, puzzlement, authenticity whist being ‘unsettling’. It’s very well constructed and aged. Importantly, it doesn’t betray the devilment that hides inside. As with all such props, it is what you the performer makes of it and with it that matters. Open the box and let it lead you – if you dare.
