Here's something silly that is inspired by the awesome recent releases like Akronym and Nameforge where in a list of words a sequence of letters is used to reveal a thought. I mainly use this shortcut for a spectator as a mind reader effect OR as an intuition test or a connection test. Gets great reactions.


Basic Effect: A few lines of random letters are written by the spectator. The last letter of each line spells their own or someone else's thought of word.



There are 2 versions of this:


Version 1(manual input)
Once we know what word a spectator A is thinking of(min 4 letters, max 8 letters), We run the shortcut which opens the notes and asks for input. Here we input the word(example: magic).

We create a new note and write a heading whatever we like(example: intuition test).

We go to the next line and hand the phone to spectator B.

We ask spectator A about the number of letters in their word(as if we don't know) to which they respond 5(example).

We then ask Spectator B to type in 5 lines of random letters without consciously thinking what they're typing.

They type something like:
jsjsjssk
kaksks
kskssjsj
jeiwhansjs
sjjssis

Now we take the phone back for a moment, press the volume button(to trigger the shortcut) and hand the phone to spectator A to check whether spectator B managed to get their word.

During this motion, the text will switch to:
jsjsjsskm
kaksksa
kskssjsjg
jeiwhansjsi
sjjssisc

The last letter of each line will spell the word 'magic'.

Both spectators will be confident as to they can't see any word in there until we point their attention to the last letter of each line.





Version 2(voice input)
Here we don't need to know the thought of word prior to the performance. This one is best suited for an impromptu performance of influence or also spectator as mind reader.

Example:

Spectator A thinks of any word(4 to 8 letters).

We run the shortcut that opens the notes and We create a new note and write a heading whatever we like(example: intuition test).

We go to the next line and hand the phone to spectator B.

We ask spectator A about the number of letters in their word to which they respond 7(example).

We then ask Spectator B to type in 7 lines of random letters without consciously thinking what they're typing.

They type something like:
jsjsjssk
kaksks
kskssjsj
jeiwhansjs
sjjssis
jdjs
jdjsjsjsjds

Now we take the phone back for a moment, casually show spectator A how random the lines look, and ask them their word. Let's say their word is magical.

We turn the screen towards us to see if any of the lines have any patterns.

We press the volume button(to trigger the shortcut) and it'll ask for voice input to which we say the word "magical" followed by pause till the popup goes away and we continue "and that was a free choice, right?"

They will respond Yes and before they do, the text will switch to:
jsjsjsskm
kaksksa
kskssjsjg
jeiwhansjsi
sjjssisc
jdjsa
jdjsjsjsjdl


The last letter of each line will spell the word 'magical'.

Both spectators will be confident as to they can't see any word in there until we point their attention to the last letter of each line.


IN BOTH VERSIONS THE SCREEN IS TOWARDS US TO HIDE THE SWITCH WHICH ONLY TAKES 2 SECONDS.

You are amazing guy, thanks bro! All the best!

This is incredibly generous, thank you so much.

Here's a slighty better one of the voice one, the switch is more seamless.

All I did was make tiny change at the bottom, I dragged the 'Delete' command below the create note command.

This is VERY cool. The voice recognition aspect is so unexpected and clever.

This is terrific.
I can imagine using it as a mini seance this halloween season.

When I click on the privacy tab, it only shows Allow Running when locked? Says No privileges? Your instructions show accessing notes etc? What do I need to do???

Hello, Sean. Reinstall the shortcut, Run it once, do the usual notes procedure. After changing the volume, It should ask you permissions for each step which you should always allow. After running the shortcut once, if you check the privacy tab, there should be the privileges options present there.

Lemme know how it goes.
