I wasn't sure where best to post this, but here goes. Has anyone seen this performed, or used it themselves? Here's the blurb from House of Enchantment website.
" Interactive mentalism at it's best. Master Card Prediction is like a horse race, the audience knows what’s happening yet it’s completly mystifying how it ends. Two different endings are possible depending on weather you’re more a magician or a mentalist. The audience helps in “Round Robbin” participation. This is fun and keeps the action moving.
Effect: A prediction, a regular pack of cards and a custom made display stand are shown. “You will mix the cards three times” states the magician. A volunteer genuinly shuffles a pack of Bicycle cards. Nine cards are individually dealt onto the display stand as volunteers individually call out colors (no forces). “The cards have been shuffled and dealt once. To further mix them, the cards will be redealt, as directed by volunteers”. The magician continues “We've shuffled and dealt the cards twice... let’s do it one more time.... You must admit, no one knows the identies of these cards. In a separate process all but one card will be removed.” Volunteers are asked to individually call out various colors and the cards on those colors are discarded (no tricky business or forces) until one card remains. The prediction is now opened and the only remaining card matches. The deck of cards is shown again and all the cards are different.
This is a really fun routine that moves along nicely. Magicians choice is not used at any time. Non gimmicked cards are used. The cards are mixed and dealt three seperate times. Cards are discarded by the audience & the only single remaining card matches. The audience will sit up and applaude guarenteed.
We supply. Bicycle cards, an altered card box, the special display board, gimmick and very good instructions written after several performances infront of live audiences. You'll perform Master Card Prediction in ten minutes no matter your skill level. "
Seems quite interesting on several levels- card magic, mentalism, audience involvement. But hesitate to drop $68.00 on something without some input from some of you out there who may have some constrcutive comments or practical experience with it. My skill level for cards is average, enjoy mentalism/predictions and I'm looking for an effect like this that allows for people to get involved without having to fiddle about with sleights and mechanical devices.

There is no sleight of hand or gimmickd mechanical board. It's in the cards and the way you set them up. OK it's not entirely in the cards but if you're 12 years old you can do this. I did it an fooled the guys at the club.

Hey..I'm not 12 years old!! Boy, you ask a simple question and right away you are accused of being decades younger! ;-)
Thanks Jay, I was working my way around to sending you a PM about this and a few other things. As usual you are there to help!
