FOR EXPERIENCED MENTALISTS ONLY!
50:50 Fantasia is a beautiful, ingenious and versatile principle for experienced mentalists.

Once you know the principle, you can use it anywhere and everywhere for the rest of your life.

Consider any simple 50:50 bet or proposition. For example, I take a piece of paper and write either 'Red' or 'Blue' on it (you don't see what I write). I fold it up and give it to you to hold. I invite you to guess 'Red' or 'Blue', and I bet a large amount of my own money that you'll be wrong. You don't have to bet anything, only my money is on the table. You guess 'Blue'. You yourself unfold the piece of paper that I gave you to hold, and on it you see that I wrote 'Red'. My money is safe!

This is the essence of 50:50 Fantasia. You can create any simple 50:50 bet you want: is the picture on this postcard a beach or a forest? Is the coin under the spectator's hand heads or tails? Is the item in this bag a red rose or a yellow one? Is the song that's ready to play on my phone by Elton John or Madonna? Is this a photo of the sun or the moon? Is this crystal in the bag green emerald or red ruby?

The item involved in the bet can be anything: something written on a piece of paper, a picture, a song, an object... whatever you want to use. It is always under the spectator's control from start to finish. You never touch it or try to get near it, because you never need to.
