Magic Tricks

I always learn so much by watching and listening to Max. Having said that, in this case I have to subtract one star. Personally, I wouldn't perform this as a word divination. There are many more straightforward ways in mentalism to allow a person to just think of any word they like, and then divine it. What I think would be a better use of this method is to place more emphasis on how the myriad ways of folding could potentially produce at least dozens of letter combinations, and that the performer would have provided sealed predictions for the participants' resulting words before
asking them to make the folds. It could therefore be more convincingly sold as the performer having some subtle influence on the manner in which the spectator folded the paper. The implied odds of him having done so correctly psychologically seem more impressive than diving the word as if it were only thought-of.
