PR3MIERE is a stunning, multi-phased, blockbuster routine from the dynamic duo Nikolas Mavresis and David Jonathan. Inspired by their love of cinema, this is a stunning movie-themed effect with an equally ingenious method.

Five envelopes depicting different genres of film are displayed and mixed. A participant freely selects any one and peeks at the movie poster that is inside - let's say it's 8 Mile.

The five envelopes are now laid out in a row and five tokens are introduced. These are placed on top of each envelope in any order they choose. The movie posters are then tipped out of the envelopes and the tokens are slowly turned over one at a time. Amazingly, on the back of every token is a different number that directly correlates to the film it was paired with - a perfect match!

Just like every great film, the finale has a surprise twist ending that leaves the audience's jaws dropped. The numbers on the tokens are rotated around to now resemble letters that come together to spell 8 Mile - the exact film they had selected at the start! It's an Oscar-worthy final display that truly leaves spectators in awe.

A multi-layered method with high quality, custom engineered props that do the work for you

The tokens can be examined by your audience

Very easy to do with zero sleight of hand, allowing you to focus solely on your presentation

Beautiful custom movie artwork of well-known classic films designed by Phill Smith
