Slim Shady's favorite magic trick

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." You may remember that line from Freshman English class. It's one of Shakespeare's finest, and--controversial opinion--but that guy was a pretty good writer. We think he was on to something there. What would really change about you if your name changed? Well, your name tag. 

Luckily for magicians and Shakespeare scholars alike, Blake Vogt has our back with his stunning new trick, Hello. 

Hello is an incredibly visual nametag changing effect that's bound to be your new favorite way to start your act. 

You start by showing a very ordinary-looking nametag. The words "hello my name is" are printed at the top and there's space for you to write a name below. Maybe you choose to start with a name written, maybe you want to keep it blank. It doesn't matter, because in an instant, the name tag changes to say something completely different. 

That alone isn't revolutionary, but to really fool your spectators, peel the name tag off and hand it to them. It's just a normal sticker. 

While the core effect is basically self-working, with a little sleight of hand, you'll learn how to do an extra routine where the contents of the name tag change twice in a row. Imagine giving that out to an audience member. 

Hello is available at any Murphy's Magic dealer, or you can check out with our featured dealer, Penguin Magic!
