Circus Audience Scorecards

Thin rectangular cards, their paper edges slightly curled from repeated handling, displaying numbered scales in bold red ink. Each card bears both a face value and the words 'Psychic Circus Talent Review.' The pale family flips their scorecards instantly from high scores to zero as Nord's act fails, their collective gesture a mechanical unison that flips the room into mocking revulsion. The cards make a sharp sound with each turn, sharp enough to be heard over the simulated boos.
