As the title suggests, a good presentation of this trick will allow you to create a standing ovation without difficulty. All the audience has to do is follow your instructions!

You show the first portrait facing the front and ask the audience in the center to clap. Then you show a second portrait looking to the left and ask this part of the audience to clap in turn. Finally you show a last portrait looking to the right and have the last third of the audience clap. Then you start to play with the audience, showing the different portraits quickly and alternately. Guaranteed impact!

Finally you decide which portrait and therefore which part of the room you prefer... But, just before showing it, you say: "If the portrait looks at you, clap and stand up! ".

This is the final twist: you show the portrait, and, as if by magic, EVERYONE stands up and claps!!!

This trick is absolutely brilliant for creating a fiery atmosphere in the room. Ideal for all your parlour and stage performances.
