Clutch
by Oz Pearlman
Clutch is featured in Oz Pearlmans off-broadway show The Unseen. While Clutch is simple to perform and can be done any time with a borrowed deck it is presented here with the professional performer in mind. This is a card routine that bridges the gap between close-up and stage as it plays for the entire audience. We hope youll add Clutch to your show.
The deck is borrowed. Fair.
The spectator shuffles picks a card and returns it to the deck. Fair.
The cards are put in the card box. Fair.
The box is closed. Fair.
The spectator puts the deck in his/her own pocket. Fair.
The spectator confirms theres nothing else in his/her pocket... just a deck inside a CLOSED box Fair.
You show your hands COMPLETELY empty. You show them slowly and from all angles. Your sleeves are rolled up. Fair. Fair. Fair.
You explain exactly what youre gonna do. This is as fair as it gets
You reach into the spectators pocket and INSTANTLY pull out the chosen card. Your hand darts in at lightning speed and BOOM a card appears at your finger tips. This happens in the blink of an eye... literally less than a second
You ask the spectator to check the box of cards. The box is still closed
Top 5 reasons we love Clutch Its extremely fooling--laypeople dont have a chance Its dramatic--you set up an impossible challenge for yourself. Its visual--you instantly pluck the card from your spectators pocket. It plays huge in multiple environments--close-up street stand-up and stage. It can be done with a borrowed deck without ANY preparation. Perform clutch anytime anywhere... everytime everywhere Running Time Approximately 35min
