Lock the door behind you and draw the curtains; some mysteries are meant only for a privileged few. Open the pages of Foreseen and you'll discover a secret, really a series of secrets, from one of mentalism's foremost exponents. The pen of Mr. Nyman discloses his reputation-making finale after decades of performance. Kind is he not only to disclose the exact workings of his headline prediction but also the script and every subtlety to elevate the trick to a wonder. Weeks before the mentalist appears before a gathered audience, an envelope is mailed to the organizer marked "Do Not Open." At the culmination of a great evening of mindreading and mirth, the organizer is called forward and asked to open the envelope. Reading the contents aloud, the letter, written by the performer, reveals key details about that day's newspaper. Oh, and there's a P.S. too. The gentleman, Mr. Nyman, creates fascination, intrigue, and mystery not through daunting sleight of hand and juggling, but instead through an easy to perform method. The devil may lurk in the details, so Mr. Nyman banishes each detail's foil with a wave of his right hand. The devastatingly simple method creates profound astonishment. The booklet is printed, embossed, and hand-bound by a small letterpress up the Hudson from the publisher, Tannen's Magic. Since 1925 Tannen's has introduced classic titles to the magic community like Tarbell, Stars of Magic, 13 Steps to Mentalism, and now, Foreseen. "Andy has enthused about this closing routine for years and it's a joy to finally see it in print. It's bold, nuanced, and huge fun; you'll finish this beautiful booklet desperate to do it. So much of what makes Andy great - and an inspiration to me for so long - is here for you in these pages." - Derren Brown "News flash: Here's how to make the headlines; Nyman delivers the goods so that you can, too!" - Paul Vigil "He started with a classic, time-tested approach to the headline prediction then shaped it into something new and better. Everyone knows that Andy is a world-class performer, creator, writer, actor and director. What many may not know is that Andy can also be a world-class worrier, which means that he imagined every possible performance scenario, good and bad, then developed smart, powerful and sure-fire ways to eliminate every ounce of risk while increasing the impact and drama. Anyone interested in the headline prediction (or any type of prediction) will benefit by reinvisioning this mentalism classic through the eyes of Andy Nyman." - Michael Weber "Andy Nyman is one of the greatest minds in magic. If you don't know that already, "Forseen" will help you understand why. Headline predictions can be scary. But, one at a time, Andy knocks down every fear you could possibly have, leaving you with a simple method you can pull off with ease, guaranteeing a stunning closer." - John Lovick "Tannen's Magic and Andy Nyman have produced a beautiful pamphlet in a classic style. The method is simple. The effect is powerful. What more could one be looking for?" - Jared Kopf "FORESEEN is excellent. Andy Nyman's take on the classic headline prediction is direct, believable, and doable. The routine is well scripted with a touch of humor and self-deprecation that makes for great entertainment. Of exceptional interest is Andy's closing essay which provides a needed frame for performing plausible mentalism. The booklet is a must-read." - Ross Johnson "Andy came up with a very simple method to a classic in mentalism. It's easy to do and I had a big smile when I read it because I love it so much." - Lior Manor "Based on a bygone and bypassed methodology, Nyman has polished the headline prediction to a radiant gem or even a meteor. His 'in the trenches' insights are priceless. Though caution and mindset are prescribed for this effect, an intelligent performer has a maximum impact illusion that is miraculous." - Marc Salem |

I really wish there was a video performance of "Foreseen", or at least some part of it. I`m always a bit disappointed when it says the routine has been a closer for decades and you see no live-performance or pictures from the stage.
But overall I am interested but I have to little info on how it plays from the stage to make the decision to buy this or not. Hopefully someone can give some feedback in the future on how it plays for the audience and how easy it is to do. |

To this day I still have people asked me about the headline prediction I did for them years ago at a Christmas party. This really is one of the strongest Mentalist effects. I'm sure this is a very good routine but since I have had wonderful success with the one I know I'm going to stick with that but for those who do not have one I would definitely look into this if I were you it is indeed very strong.
Good magic to all, Eric |

Andy is indeed a legend and more than that a lovely fella too.
I was working at Pinewood films studios and heard Andy was filming with Liam Neeson on the film The Commuter. I made contact with him and he went out of his way to meet me on set just to have a coffee and a chat about magic. A wonderful creator, actor and human being and something I will never forget Gaz 😊 |

I agree that Andy Nyman is a great performer and creator. So I guess it is top notch

Nyman's stuff is always good, But (just my opinion) newspapers are getting more and more uncommon, so not so sure about this one.

It says "Reading the contents aloud, the letter, written by the performer, reveals key details about that day’s newspaper"
So it has nothing to do exclusively with a printed paper, just major news/events from the media that day. |

You have at least another 4 years where newspapers will still be a normal thing. I don't think he's charging that much for it to be a big deal when it goes extinct if you do need a newspaper for the method... You will have gotten your money's worth many times over.

"So you are certain that you do not need a newspaper to perform this?"
I don't have it RNK but I'm taking a educated guess that seeing it says "letter written by the performer reveals key details about that day’s newspaper" that's the case. I read the papers off my laptop daily and have been for years. I'd say Nyman has written this for todays performer. I was a big fan of Jermays headline prediction routine where he draws out the lay out of a days newspaper as he received imagers. Newspapers are still available and the electronic first edition usually is the same as the printed paper so I haven't discounted it yet. But Covid has put a hold on performing it, for me at least, for the moment. |

Unless the newspaper itself has something to do with the method, could always pull up the headlines of a news source on your spectator's phone.

TheDirectionalist Special user I predict that I will have this many posts when you read this: 930 Posts |
Very interested in this.. Would love to know to what extent you can predict. Can you predict any bit of news or happenings of that day?
