Hi, guys. Just got word today that Fun, inc. will finally be releasing my effect Red Hot Prediction next week. It's been a long time coming but I'm thrilled it's finally going to be out there.
Here's the effect in a nutshell: A blue deck is spread face up and any two cards are pointed to (no force) a third card is named by another spectator. Could be any card at all (again, no force). Let's say the named card is a ten of hearts. The two previously selected cards are turned over and they are seen to have red backs. Written on one is a "10", written on the back of the other card is "Heart". The deck is spread face down to show no other red cards in the deck! This effect is a real mind blower and an excellent closer. I have used this effect with great success for years and it's probably one of the strongest things I do. It's also one of my "go to" effects when I perform for difficult spectators. This always shuts them up. I will say this, guys, it is gaffed and non-examinable. However, this is a NON ISSUE. No one has ever asked me to examine the cards. They're too stunned to do anything! Apparently a demo video will be up next week. Should be available through most major retailers.

Not only does it show respect for the people who, for whatever reason, will not use a gaffed deck in their performances. But it also shows great confidence in your material when you're willing to state its biggest limitation up front. |

Forget it guys. Don't buy this. Honestly, you'll only end up with a LAW SUIT on your hands because you've inadvertantly MELTED YOUR SPECTATORS BRAINS!!
This is a great, great trick people. So what if it's not examinable? Neither is the Invisible Deck and we all use that don't we? Anyway, I can't say enought good things about. Want me to put my money where my mouth is? I nearly did! As soon as I seen it I immediately asked Cameron about releasing it through Full 52. As it turned out, Fun Inc. had beaten me to it. I'm sure they'll do a great job and am glad to finally see it on the market. Destined to be around for years - this is going to be VERY popular among the workers. Dave.

Thanks guys. Yes, I want to be up front about the main limitation because I know some people don't care for effects that are gaffed and not examinable. However, because this is a mentalism effect, trick cards don't even enter the specs minds.
Like I said, I was told there would be a demo up sometime next week. I'm anxious to see it myself

Thanks, man. That means a lot. I should also mention that I have other ideas for the effect that will not be included in the instructions simply because I came up with other ideas after they had been printed.
Once the effect is released, I will send a PDF to anyone who has purchased it of other thoughts and ideas.

Hocus Pocus has it for sale. I'm sure the other shops will have it soon.
There's a demo up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5UbMP4O6bc It's not me in the demo, BTW.

I love the effect, and the thinking behind it, but I, personally, think you should have had the demo be of YOU, Cameron, performing. Remember, it is not just your EFFECT that is being marketed, but YOU as well.

I would also have edited or cut the demo, as I believe quite a few people will reverse engineer this. It's one of those effects that you can tell from the demo, is an absolute killer, and can see it will be a worker, but at the same time, knowledgeable Magicians will just re-create it in this day and age.
That being said Cameron, once again, you show you are a bright talent in the world of creating in Magic! |

I would certainly have to agree with Christopher on this one Cameron, the effect itself sounds amazing and to me definitely worth adding to one's repertoire. Sometimes edited videos are better. Well done on the effect!
All the best Sh3ldon |

Thanks, guys. Glad you enjoy the effect. Fun, Inc. owns the rights so it's a bit out of my hands in terms of demos and such.
However, I have to say that I'm glad they showed John performing the whole effect uncut. Frankly, if they released an edited demo, people who have complained severely about THAT. I know some will reverse engineer the effect. But even if I can reverse engineer an effect, I will still purchase it if I think it's something I'll use. I know some don't do this but a lot of people do still purchase tricks they figure out from demos. Also, I have to say that unless you have the gaffs laying around, you might as well buy the trick as it only cost a few dollars more than the gaffs. Depending on where you buy them, of course. As I mentioned before, if you purchase the effect, email me a proof of purchase and I'll send you a PDF with other thoughts and ideas for the effect. You can, of course, also purchase it through me. Thanks again.

Cameron,
I quite enjoyed this little effect.. Having been out of magic for a few years, its refreshing to see some well thought out ideas available. Just finished reading through the "Omega Mutation" thread- Very nice... Best Regards Scar |

Thanks, Scar!
It really is a powerhouse effect. People don't run and scream when you do this effect. Most of the time their jaws just hit the floor as they just stare at you in amazement.

To me, it seemed like the magician did a bunch of things after he said he made a prediction earlier. Just too much fiddling with the cards for me and I lost interest as the spectator did. |
