Description & Effect
An Unprepared Marvel: 'Almost Real Prediction'
'Almost Real Prediction' by Jack London isn't just another magic trick; it's a testament to baffling mentalism that appears utterly impossible. Imagine walking into any situation, absolutely unprepared, and delivering a prediction so precise, so undeniable, that it leaves everyone questioning the very fabric of reality. This acclaimed ebook guides you through a routine that feels incredibly organic, relying on common items and genuine spectator involvement to create an unforgettable moment of pure astonishment.
The Core Effect Unveiled
The core genius of 'Almost Real Prediction' lies in its complete lack of pre-show work or hidden gimmicks. You invite three volunteers from your audience. One freely selects any bill from their wallet, another offers any credit card, and the third writes down any phone number they desire. These choices are entirely unrestricted, and crucially, you possess no prior knowledge of the spectators or their chosen items. Before proceeding, you openly display a single, unambiguous prediction and entrust it to a small committee for safekeeping, ensuring they clearly see its contents.
A Prediction Beyond Belief
Returning to your three assistants, you explain that you'll work with the first four numbers from each of their chosen items. The magic unfolds as the spectators themselves are asked to call out these numbers, one at a time, in 'any order they wish'. This freedom is paramount; there's no forcing, no sequential dependency. As these numbers are publicly written and totaled by the audience, anticipation builds. Finally, the committee reveals your guarded prediction. The gasp from the audience is inevitable as they realize your pre-written foresight is 100% accurate, matching the spontaneously generated total perfectly. This isn't a trick; it's a profound demonstration of seemingly clairvoyant ability. This digital download provides the comprehensive, easy-to-understand instructions to master this incredible effect.
Original Specs
THE EFFECT
Any three spectators come up to assist you. One is asked to remove any bill from his wallet, one is asked to bring out a credit card and one is asked to write any phone number that he desires on a pad of paper. We will refer to the bill, the credit card and the phone number as items from this point on.
Understand! There is no preparation prior to the effect. It makes no difference which spectator pulls out what item as the choice is absolutely free and you have no advance information about the items or the spectators. You ask a spectator or small committee of two or three to check a prediction which you make. You ask them to guard the prediction. As you give it to them, you make sure that they see the actual prediction!
You return to the first three spectators with the items and explain that each item has a series of numbers. To simplify matters and save time, you will work with the first four numbers on each item.
The spectators are asked to call out the numbers, one at a time, IN ANY ORDER THAT THEY WISH. These are written in columns on a large board or pad and totaled by the audience. The spectator or committee reads your prediction aloud. You are 100% correct.
