Magic Tricks

I've been doing this since it first came out. Mr Bannon has genius for simplifying methods without diluting the effect and this is a perfect example.

It uses any full deck and a couple of business cards or pieces of paper on which to write your two predictions.

I suggest letting the spectator win the first round, and because they have won they get to choose with whom to play round 2 (it can be you or anyone else at the table).

A few years ago I was in Russell Hall's magic who in Sheffield and there were a couple of young magicians aged about twelve or thirteen doing pretty advanced slights and moves. I did this for them. They absolutely burned my hands the whole time watching for moves (there aren't any to spot). Stunned when they read the first prediction. I let them play round 2 with each other and they were even more amazed.

This is not part of my repertoire for formal shows. I use it informally when not in a rush. It is for when you and a few people are casually sitting around a table.

I recommend this routine very highly.
