Each spectator writes anything on a card, seals the card in an envelope, and throws the card at the
mentalist. One spectator gathers up a few envelopes, freely selects one (no forces here), and the
card inside matches a prediction that has been sitting in a wine glass (no Ostin clip here)
untouched on stage. Unbelievable? Yep. And then there's an added kicker that you can use to make
it even more startling.
Is it easy to perform? Yep. (When I originally saw this, I was
like, "Geez, that's some good sleight of hand because there's not a Shaxon envelope in sight." Man,
was I wrong. Watch the video closely, and you will see that there is really no sleight and nothing
to the method.) It will take you about five minutes and next to nothing to make the gimmick. From
there, it's up to you and your showmanship. This is an extremely effective closer because it looks
impossible. The routining completely covers everything so even if a smart spectator has an inkling
that you are using a ******, his theory will be crushed in the end.
If you do stage
mentalism, you owe it to yourself to see this. Highest recommendation!
