Step into the spotlight with 'Foresight' by Devin Knight, a masterfully crafted mentalism effect that promises to leave your audience both laughing and utterly astounded. This isn't just another card trick; it's a journey from lighthearted humor to an impossible, mind-bending revelation that will solidify your reputation as a true mind reader.

The Comedy Setup, The Stunning Payoff

The routine begins with a classic comedic premise. You present an envelope containing a 'prediction' and ask a spectator to name any playing card. After a humorous reveal involving an 8.5' x 11' picture of a full deck spread out – where you point out their card among many – the laughter gives way to genuine bewilderment. This clever misdirection sets the stage perfectly for the impossible feats to come.

Double the Astonishment, Zero Force

The real magic unfolds as you invite two different participants to simply think of any card from the detailed picture, with absolutely no force involved. What happens next is nothing short of incredible. You immediately reveal the first participant's thought-of card, not through complex 'fishing' but with uncanny speed and precision, offering specific, correct comments before naming it outright. This rapid revelation is so clean, it will even baffle seasoned magicians.

An Impossible, Visible Prediction

For the grand finale, you draw attention to a clear cardholder you've been wearing around your neck, or perhaps a jumbo card displayed on your table, visible to everyone from the very beginning. The second participant names their freely thought-of card. Without any switches, hesitation, or deceptive moves, you turn the holder to reveal that their exact card is sealed inside! The back of the card remains in full view throughout, ensuring there's no doubt about its constant presence. The card can even be removed and the holder examined, proving the impossibility of the moment.

Effortless Mastery, Maximum Impact

'Foresight' is a testament to Devin Knight's ingenious thinking. This highly advanced mentalism technique requires absolutely no sleights, making it incredibly easy to learn and perform with confidence. You receive everything needed to perform this 'killer' effect, including the custom-designed 8.5' x 11' durable plastic gag picture (featuring a unique deck with no duplicate cards), a smaller version for close-up or street performances, and a high-quality clear cardholder complete with a cloth lanyard. Elevate your magic and become a master of the mind with 'Foresight'.

Original Specs

Foresight by Devin Knight

A killer effect that starts out like a comedy routine but packs a wallop at the end.

Effect

The magician holds up an envelope and says it contains a prediction. He asked a spectator to name any playing card. Performer says the named card is in the envelope. He removes an 8.5 x 11 inch picture that has the whole deck spread out. The performer says look, there is your card right there.

The audience laughs but isn't impressed, so you ask the participant to just think of a card in the picture. No force. You then ask a second participant to also think a card in the picture.

Now for the amazing part, the performer immediately tells the first participant the card he is thinking of. He simply makes two comments about the card, both are correct (you are never wrong)and then names the card. You do this without any complex fishing. In fact you name the thought of card so quickly it will startle even magicians! The magician then points out that he has been wearing a CLEAR cardholder around his neck from the very start. You can see the back of a playing card inside it.

He then asks the second participant what card he has in mind. The participant names the card. Immediately and with NO SWITCHES, you turn the clear cardholder around and sealed inside is the very card he just named.

Back of card is in full view at all times and never leaves the audience's sight. Card can be removed and the badge holder examined. Nothing else inside. The predicted card could also be a jumbo card on your table in full view from the start for those who don't want to have the card hanging from your neck.

This takes revealing thought-of cards to a new level. One of the most advanced techniques yet devised, yet is easy to do and has no sleights whatsoever.

Comes with envelope. A 8.5" x 11" durable plastic gag picture that looks like it has a spilled deck on it. NO DUPLICATE CARDS ARE PRINTED IN THE PICTURE. Every card in the picture is different! Also comes with a smaller picture for street magicians to carry in their pocket. Includes high-quality clear cardholder complete with cloth lanyard.

"Devin Knights' Foresight is a straightforward mental routine, that with proper presentation is a "killer" effect!"
