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:

I’ve always loved the idea of the rapping hand, but have never liked the ones that I’ve seen in the past; they just seemed too contrived.
This version is the first one that I’ve seen that actually made any sense, so I knew that I had to add this to my arsenal, but I’ve learned that in the realm of bizarre effects, what you actually receive doesn’t always live up to the hype. Not this time…this is an AMAZING piece, and far exceeded my hopes and expectations!
An amazing idea from John Ferrentino, and incredible craftsmanship from Chris Sipes…
