Everyone dreams to win the lottery and with Mark Elsdon's latest effect you lead the spectator through a wonderful experience and then leave them with a memorable souvenir.
Comes with gimmicks, wallet and specially printed marked number deck.
EFFECT
The spectator shuffles a regular number deck and after a thorough mix a letter ticket is presented from inside the supplied red lottery holder and placed face-down on the table.
The shuffled cards are dealt into 6 piles like the numbers being filtered down through the lottery machine. The top 6 random cards are put aside and the numbers one at a time are shown to MATCH THE LOTTERY TICKET EXACTLY!
You then proceed to hand out the lottery ticket as a souvenir. No Sleight Of Hand Automatic Handling Includes Special Number Deck Easy Reset

WHAT YOU GET
You get a vinyl holder, lotto sheets, a deck of 52 number cards, a link to video instructions and a few other things to enable the magic.
WHAT IS COOL
This is a really awesome effect. I used it to close my last show and it was a big hit. I will describe in the suggestions section how I used it.
The quality of the props is very good. The vinyl holder is the right size to hold the slips you use to pick your numbers on one side and to place a lotto ticket on the other side. The deck of number cards is also a cleverly marked deck and it comes with a few extra cards, a double face card and a double back card.
The method is clean, clear, easy to use, and completely angle proof. You can perform completely surrounded.
The explanation, as usual from Mark Eldson is excellent.
The ad copy is accurate in every way except that perhaps no effect is “the final word” on any magic subject.
The routine is a fantastic way to create a memorable magic moment and to give out a lotto ticket as a souvenir.
WHAT ARE THE DOWNSIDES
I don’t see any downsides to this, it is a really awesome effect.

VERDICT
This is an awesome and powerful effect.
I didn’t have a lotto ticket for each guest, so I combined this effect with the “Boom Box” by Andrew Neiner. I had multiple guests shuffle the “Guaranteed Jackpot” deck and pick six cards from the deck. The six cards were placed into the “Boom Box” card box so that I never touched the cards and the cards were given to each of several participants. So, several participants had six cards selected at random, including the young girl with her set. In the end, the young girl’s numbers matched the winning numbers held by one of the guests and she took home the prize.

Suggestions
I used this effect to close out a magic dinner party with around a dozen guests. I had an objective to give away a box of magic tricks to a young girl who is very interested in magic. One way to do this is to purchase a lotto ticket for each participant and then select the young girl to shuffle the cards to arrive at the selected number cards, using the “Guaranteed Jackpot” props. If she picked the correct six numbers, everyone gets a lotto ticket and she wins the grand prize.I didn’t have a lotto ticket for each guest, so I combined this effect with the “Boom Box” by Andrew Neiner.
