Couple years ago Copperfield did a Super Bowl prediction in Tampa for Super Bowl 34 with the Ravens against the Giants. I was wondering if anyone remembers this and can tell me what method he used, as I recall he used a cassette prediction, am I right?

I did not see his prediction. I am just wondering if he used a box? In his live show he does a prediction using a box that is hanging in full view the entire show. The box costs somewhere around 1,6000 dollars (if I remember right). I am fairly sure a few years ago Penn and Teller did a Super Bowl prediction using a similar method.

In 1970 Sam Giancanna did a prediction to for the super bowl.

NO box nothing, and wow he was right!

The part I always find interesting about "prediction" effects is they never involve just SAYING IT!

it is always some contrived nonsense of a box, cassette,envelopes, or some other silly stuff.

Write it down in full view, keep it in full view and see if your right if it was a prediction. When it is done otherwise no matter HOW you dress it up it loses something to the linear thinkers in the audience like me.

This is how you would do it if you REALLY could predict things. I guess it is what slows many mentalism effects.
