John Kennedy comes up with some very neat things, and Dream paddle is one of his best.   It uses a unique optical principle to make the spectator see certain things (that yo want them to) and NOT see certain things (that you don't want them to!)  Because of this, you get multiple changes from a paddle which is ungimmicked and has no moving parts.  If that sounds a bit like Pipe-Dream Paddle to you, then let me assure you that this thing is totally deceptive. 

The effect is this:  a small paddle is shown with four different shapes on it, each a different color.  The spectator picks a shape and  the magician causes the color of that shape to change.  Another shape then changes color.  Finally all four shapes change color at the same time.  It is very visual, and as mentioned above, the paddle can be examined.  The effect can even be repeated using different selected shapes. 

NOTE: the US quarter in photo is only there to give you a sense of the paddle's size.  It has nothing to do with the effect and is not included.  

Brand new and unused, with instructions.    The item only comes with online video instruction password, but since I dislike this current trend away from printed instruction sheets, I will include a photcopy of the original Dream paddle instruction sheet that used to be provided with the trick.
