Starling XL by Wayne Dobson, reimagined by Mike Sullivan. What begins as a simple word experiment becomes an unforgettable prediction effect. A spectator freely selects a card from a shuffled deck — but never looks at it. Meanwhile, the word STARTLING is displayed across a series of cards. One by one, letters are removed, creating entirely new words each time. Until finally… The letters rearrange into a shocking revelation:A Playing Card... The spectator turns over their card. It matches. STARTLING is a refined parlour and stage adaptation of a powerful close-up concept — engineered for visibility, pacing, and audience engagement. Show more
