Black Door Pro by Riccardo Berdini
It looks like a regular black envelope. It handles like a regular black envelope. Your spectator can hold it, examine it, and feel it from every angle. And the entire time, completely invisibly, it is one of the most powerful switching devices ever built for mentalism.
Black Door Pro is the professional Tyvek edition of the legendary Black Door, used by working mentalists on America's Got Talent and magic shows worldwide, and now rebuilt stronger and more durable than ever before for performers who need it night after night without compromise.
The secret compartment locks magnetically. Only you can access it. Everything the spectator interacts with looks and feels completely normal, because to them it is. Place a card, a billet, or a banknote inside and hand it over. It changes in their hands without you touching it again. As a switching device, a force, a two-way out, or a vanish, Black Door Pro gives you complete hands-free control in a prop that looks like nothing at all.
Riccardo Berdini teaches the full system across a ninety-minute instructional video, including his personal pet routines developed specifically for this device, complete with the subtleties, the timing, the drama, and the performance thinking that turns a clever gimmick into a genuinely powerful piece of mentalism.
Routines included:
A 50/50 prediction that plays with impossible clarity. A streamlined Bank Night where you predict which envelope a spectator chooses, and whether or not they changed their mind. A Bill Switch that is clean, visual, and completely hands-free. Riccardo's signature Serial Number Divination, where he reads the serial number from a borrowed bill through the envelope in a moment that generates enormous reactions. A Card Force with no restriction on what card is forced. A Q and A routine. A Magazine Test. The Lacuna Effect. Hands-free mind reading. And an Add a Number effect that plays powerfully in parlour and stage settings.
The Pro edition is built from durable Tyvek so the envelope holds up to the rigours of professional use, stays thin and portable for easy everyday carry, and the elegant black finish works equally well in casual close-up settings and formal stage performances.
Two gimmicked envelopes are included in every package.
