The effect
You remove three mounted photographs from an aged envelope. A train station. An alleyway. A churchyard.

Two old coins are introduced, said to have been found with the victim.

You turn away.

The participant hides one coin under any photograph. Any one.

Now the second coin comes into play, sealed inside a pendulum pendant. The participant holds the pendulum over each image, and something strange starts to happen. The pendulum comes to life over one location.

They lift that photograph.

The coin is there.

And just when they think it’s over, you bring out a vintage newspaper clipping that has been in view from the start. It names the location of the murder.

The exact scene they chose.

What you receive
Aged envelope with three mounted photographs: train station, alleyway, churchyard
