There has been a lot of talk lately about the open prediction effect. Well my search is over.
Mick Ayres and Jim Callahan have put together a double barrelled aproach that really knocks people for six. I have been using this lately as that "one thing" I do when someone wants to see something. This is a brilliant presentation and the best thing about it is that it is very memorable, especially since you have a tangible momento to hand out at the end of the routine. "In Plain Sight" has been passed around to a very few people up to now. I kinda wish they would not realease it but that's a greedy way of thinking. That being said, based on the reactions I have been getting I can say that those who use this will have a blast with it. "In Plain Sight" meets all of the" requirements" but more importantly, it is a true showpiece for those with any presentational skills. When you do an effect like this, you inevitably get the old "Can you do it again with a different card?" This two phase routine is built for that and it gets even "cleaner" the second time around. I love routines and presentations that are just as fun to do as they are to watch! DT3 |

Callahan + Ayres - what could one expect then pure gold when these names are mentioned.
Looking forward to hearing more about this. Will be eager to buy whenever (if ever) this comes out. |

Yeah, I'd be delighted to purchase this too. The Open Prediction is an intriguing mystery to me and I've failed to come up with my own solution.

Thank you for those wonderful comments, Don. I'm glad you are getting some mileage out of the "In Plain Sight" presentation. IPS is now a standard feature in my resort shows and the guest's reactions continue to be overwhelming.
It seems every time Jim and I start to give serious thought to releasing it, another performer asks us not to (you are the third one out of the half-dozen who've seen it). It's not because "In Plain Sight' is difficult (quite the opposite in fact...the handling is elementary and has even been explored before). However, the presentation does require acting skills to get the best reactions. I know this is true for all routines, but this is one effect where the presentation seriously outweighs the method. Best, Mick

Oh, DT - why did you have to mention this effect at all?? We almost had Mick convinced to not release it!!
I guess I'll have to finish that review after all. But I wasn't going to post it here. I really did want this one kept secret. (Yes, I *am* trying to keep Mick from earning his first million dollars, now that you ask.) *jeep! --Greedy Grandpa Chet

Sounds pretty cool... any info on how the routine actually plays?
I mean the comments sound good, but I have no idea as to what the routine itself is like... of course you may wish not to say such things and that's fine, but it would be cool to know. I loved Hoodwinkings and Predictabilities and so I'm sure this piece is great. |

Don't release it.
Too much is being released. Where's the mystery anymore? This can be the kind of effect that inspires us, and brings back that magical feeling of awe so many of us have nearly forgotten. Release the gift of a closely guarded mystery instead.

Mick Ayres has a great story about the first time he performed IPS for the Disney audiece.
Just one of those happy moments that a performer treasures and remembers. If it ever does get released I hope he includes this story. I wish I could have been there to see it. I applogize for mentioning how great this routine is when it's not available. I thought this was going to be released commercially and I think that was the plan at some point. Now it seems that Mick and The Callahan have been swayed into holding on to it at present. (by the way Mick and Jim, I also have NO objections to keeping it under wraps.) DT3 |

Alex,
The effect is the Open Prediction Effect done twice two different ways. More important is the structure and script. The presentation takes it from a neat card trick to a memorable miracle. As Mick mentioned it does take acting skills, but there's basically no sleight of hand (one little thing that could hardly be called a "move") so you are able to devote all of your energy and focus into the performance. That's really all I can say and I may have said too much already. Maybe Chet will be kind enough to give us one of his thorough trademark reviews. Mystification, I have no idea, maybe Jim or Mick will answer that. I do know that they have been under a lot of pressure to not release it at all. DT3 |
