The Hype:

A card is selected by a spectator and hidden away. The magician (thats you) then reaches into their pocket and retrieves a state of the art Lie Detector machine. (Ok, its actually a small packet of beautifully printed cards that you carry round in your wallet or purse).

A series of questions are asked of the spectator. Is your card red or black? Is it a spot card or a court card? - That kind of thing. The spectator can choose to honourably tell the truth or fib like an incorrigible scoundrel.

Each answer is input into the lie detector (by placing one card from the top of the packet to the bottom for each letter of the random response), and the new top card is flipped face up. Incredibly this reveals either the word TRUTH or LIE (depending on whether the spectator was honest or not)!

Through this process the magician is able to correctly determine the value of the card picked by the spectator.

But that isnt the end of the trick. No siree bob! In a mind blowing display of magic awesomeness you now flip the lie detector packet over and show that ALL of the cards are infact duplicates of the spectators chosen card!!

Funny, commercial, engaging and insane FUN, Nothing But The Truth is the perfect packet trick. It slips into your pocket, but plays HUGE! It is self working (with some more advanced handling options offered on the download) and leaves a lasting impression on audiences of all sizes!

My Take:

Another nice trick to carry in your pocket from Cameron Francis. You get the five needed cardss in the ever present little black plastic wallet. For some reason, I also received three fours  which are not explained but so long as you get the five necessary ones, you will be fine.

I can't count the number of packet tricks that, over the years, found their way to my pocket. The other night we went out to dinner and a friend introduced me to her grandson who remembers the the last time he met me, I did some magic for him and could I show him something? I honestly did not remember meeting him before but fortunately I was carrying four aces in my pocket so Doc Daley put in an appearance. Now I wish that I had Nothing But the Truth there instead. It is going right into my pocket today.

Cute story. No one is going to believe cards will function as a true lie detector but the story is fun and you will get some smiles..And the back of the cards is a picture of a lie detector with a read button and a gauge.

Easy to do, No difficult sleights (unless you consider an Elmsley count difficult). The cards are attractive and they pretty well tell the story for you.

If, like me, you always have to have something on you to perform (and irritate your wife with!), this is not a bad way to go at all. Another fine effect by one of today's most prolific packet trick inventors.
