Identity by Richard Sanders
The power of their own name
Walk up someone you've never met and have a card chosen, marked and shuffled into the deck.
Next, you draw a series of random marks on the back of any indifferent card. Those marks VISIBLY JUMP from card to card, finally VANISHING COMPLETELY.
The deck is slowly spread to reveal the marks on the back of one card...the spectator’s signed selection.
One last incredible kicker ...you offer the card to the spectator as a souvenir. In order to personalize it...you shake the card...and get ready for this...THE MARKS ON THE BACK OF THE CARD VISUALLY REFORM INTO THE SPECTATOR'S VERY OWN NAME!

From RICHARD SANDERS:
As with all my releases I only want to offer the cream of the crop as far as effects and impact on an audience. Identity is no exception to that rule.
I don’t want to waste your time with compilation DVDs that includes 3 good effects and 7 lukewarm ones. Instead I try to offer you HARD HITTING MAGIC that you will use. Identity takes what I believe are the some most commercial elements of card magic and combines them into one ROCK EM SOCK EM, take no prisoners, card effect.
What is particularly important and interesting to magicians is the compilation of information and ideas on the DVD. I have worked very hard to create an effect that is quite possibly, THE STRONGEST SIGNED CARD EFFECT THAT YOU CAN DO.
Now, I know that's a BOLD STATEMENT to make as everyone's tastes are different.
However, after a series of impossible transpositions with the cards, there is just no getting around the fact that when the marks on the back of "their selection" visually morph into their very own name...IT'S OVER...pandemonium breaks loose.
THEN...with no switch, you give the card to them to keep...just as a REAL magician would
Identity could stand on it’s own as a very strong card effect, without the name change ending. But, with the name change ending...Identity stands alone, taking itself far beyond a mere card trick into a moment of pure astonishment.
Re repeatability: The gimmick is not damaged and/or destroyed during the effect.
It can be used over and over. Only the selected card is given away.
Re: the card change: I include 3 different card changes that can be used for the effect, including the one used on the demo.
Re: getting their name, trust me when I tell you that they are flabbergasted when their name appears on the card. You will learn how to do this on the DVD.
If you are familiar with my previous work, you know that I tell it like it is.
Watch the demo again and look at the OVER THE TOP REACTIONS for this.
In particular, look at the girl at the end. Her jaw is dropped wide open for a good 5 seconds! It’s pure astonishment!
Oh ya, for the guys that "have it all figured out", I thought about you too and there is a special version of the effect on the DVD designed specifically to fry laymen AND MAGICIANS.
In fact, there is even a special version of the effect for those times where you are not as prepared as you wish you were...and you will still be able to do Identity.
This DVD is comprehensive in its scope and powerful in its impact.
This is a real world worker, not a pipe dream.
