I recently saw Tom Deluca, a hypnotist, live and he opened his show with a mentalism effect. He had a girl rip a page of her choice out of the newspaper. The then proceeded to rip it in half and let her choose a half. This continued until she was left with a very small piece of newspaper left with the word "success" printed on it. He then opened an envelope which had been in full view the whole time. In it was a piece of paper with "success" written on it.
Any idea about what effect this was? |

My own personal favs of this effect are The Richardson Newspaper Test and the Berglas Newspaper Test.
Barrie Richardons method is really great and I use one or two things from the Bergals method in conjunction with it. The Berglas method can be found in his manuscript on the newspaper test (the name of which sadly escapes me right now) The Richardson method can be found in Theatre of The Mind. Both are worth checking out if your intrested in such things. Kind Regards, Luke Jermay. |

Isn't this Fogel's Headline Hunter effect? It sounds exactly like that. He sold the effect in a booklet.

It actually sounds very similar to Jack Dean's "Fragments" which involves tearing a page out of a "Reader's Digest" and then having a participant do as you describe - tearing it in half, toss one piece, then tear it in half again, toss one of the pieces, etc...., it is available from Ab StageCraft. Just go to http://www.google.com and search AB StageCraft and the web site will come up.
