"Those of you who have watched, become addicted to, or now totally loathe, Big Brother, will have fun with this piece of direct, commercial, and strong stage mentalism.

The plot is a bank nite scenario with ten celebrities in the Big Brother house. The performer shows ten glossy photos of well-known celebrities and sticks them to a white board. The participants can choose nine celebrities that they would like to evict, and can even give the performer a turn in the eviction game. The photos of the nine that have been evicted are turned over to reveal that they all say EVICTED, while the photo of the one remaining celebrity is turned over to reveal the word WINNER

The method is clever and easy to do, leaving you with room to improvise and enjoy presenting the effect.

The routine comes with a nine-page double-sided manual with handlings, scripting, explanations, and his own ‘general ramblings and musing’, as well as a set of glossy photos ready to perform the routine. If some of the celebrities do not play well in your country, Doug offers a service to produce additional photos.

I met Doug at the first Tabula Mentis on 7-7-7 (www.psycrets.org) and then performed with him at a University club last October. I had the good fortune of seeing this routine performed live, and in my view it was one of the strongest pieces he performed that night.

A staple in Doug’s theatre and corporate show, the routine has humour, glamour (if you think Paris Hilton is glamorous)…and it involves a large proportion of your audience.

You should be able to perform this effect fairly soon after purchasing it and with proper care and attention, it should last a long time. There are also video clips of Doug performing it, so you can see it in action before clicking that inevitable purchase button"
