What are you favorite prediction effects with cards? Also, do you use any special presentational ideas for a prediction effect?

Just force a card. Then reveal it slowly.
"a red card.. 3..4... no it's a five... 5 of hearts.." For added impact, you can do the trick where you put ashes on your arm and the card prints itself... or have a prediction written in the paper and show the paper.. or you may want to buy Pyro Perception Trick where blisters appear in your hand.. |

I've always found it passing strange to see a performer grunt and sweat and slowly reveal the name of a playing card, name, number, etc., and then open a piece of paper to show that he had predicted the card before hand.
Not saying that's what you meant, D.A., just an observation. - entity

I like Heirloom and Pyro Perception a lot.
Both of them are so mysterious.

I like the idea of using a diary to determine a card. "Please call out a date that means something to you personally." One example is "Chronologue" by Bob Cassidy. Wonder Man Fred, a popular German mentalist, ha once issued an effect called "Dia-ry-bolical" which I am intending to incorporate in my act. It tries to eliminate some weak points of Cassidy's method. I like the effect because it allows for some interesting patter (52 cards/52 weeks, 4 suits/4 seasons, ..., you know all that).

I really find it hard to go past either a brainwave or invisible deck.
Let's face it, you can have the spectator call whoever they like anywhere in the world and then have that person ask their neighbour to choose a card, and your deck can be rubber banded inside a locked box inside a loaf of bread inside 2 ton of concrete at the bottom of the ocean, and yet when you spread through it your prediction matches! B'wave is pretty darn cool too. Cheers Billy PS The above routine should not be tried impromptu. |

I personnaly don't really like prediction effects in the way that I believe spectators are so aware of magic through the media, that being able to predict a card they chose just isn't that impressive. I mean don't get me wrong, there are a lot of good prediction type effects (like invisible deck) but if I were a spectator I'd be bored with the old "Pick a card" "Was that your card?" cliche.
But if I were to suggest any then it would definatly be something very visual like pyro preception. They won't forget that in a while. Kevin Courtney |

B/wave and predeckability Thought sender by Burger.
I don't see pyro perception as a predicition, more of a revelation. |

I really enjoy "Pre-deck-ability" by Colombini. Check this out, it rocks.

Fogel's Triple Prediction is done in the spectator's hands and is seemingly impossible since the spectator deals and cuts --yet the magician predicts the choices before they are even made. Eugene Burger's version is the one I use.

I like prediction effects, because it puts it in the form of a 'possibility'. Probability no, but possibility yes. In other words, this isn't about the magician and how good he is. It's not an opportunity for showing the skills of how you can cut to the aces, or make a card spin from the deck and catch it, etc.
It now brings in the spectator and the decisions they make. For instance, they can stop dealing at any point, but what if in their minds they thought just for a moment, "what if I would have dealt one more card"? Now they believe they had some control in the effect. They're not for sure if they do, but it now puts the probability in the SPECTATOR'S mind and not in the assumption . . . "that guy is good with a deck of cards" |

I think Discrepancy City Prediction is a great prediction trick.
For a prediction trick the conditions are under a lot of scrutiny. This trick has great conditions. Three prediction cards are laid down. The spectator then shuffles the deck and deals down to whenever he feels like stopping. The card he stops at matches not only one of the predictions, but all three. This is a lot of fun to perfomrm and has a low difficulty level. You can find it in John Bannon's Impossibilia. Jake

I don't like Blaine, but for standing up, I took his prediction idea where he had one spectator hold a deck and says the top card of that deck is his prediction. Then he had another deck and asked a second spectator to pick a card and place it on top of that deck. Does the "move" and the card matches the top card of the other deck. Sort of like an impromptu way to do DUO TECH 2.
I just use one deck. Place my prediction on the table. Have the spectator take a card and replace it on top of the deck. Do the "move", turn the card over to reveal the card, do a KM move for clean up and toss the card on the table next to the prediction card. The prediction card is turned over and is a mate to the selected card. Gets an awesome reaction all the time. |

It is a good and straightforward use of KM move.
Unnaturalness of turning left hand is covered by throwing the card and turning prediction card. Hideo Kato |

"Open Prediction" by Paul Cummins is quite nice. It is one of those effect in which you deal all the cards face-up except for one face-down at any moment the spec would say "stop". At the beginning of the trick you predict that the spec WILL stop you on, let's say, the 3 of hearts. You do the dealing with the one card face-down. At the end, you spread the face-up card until you get to the face-down card, showing that no 3 of hearts seem to be visible amongst the face-up cards. You tourn over the face-down card and it is the 3 of hearts.
The handling is straightforward (see in FASDIU 1) Jonathan. |

Another handling of the Open Prediction is in various collections by Jon Racherbaumer -- very similar to what Jonathan describes above.
My favorite handling, though, is "L.A. Open" by Gordon Bean. It's included as the second effect in Gordon's commercial release, "Joker, Joker." It gives the spectator a chance to change his mind several times, and it's really easy to do. Cheers, Jerry |

I just bought Bob Farmer's Tsunami a few days ago. I've heard great things about this particular prediction effect, so I'm pretty excited to get it. I'll try to post a review up when I get the chance, but for those of you that have it, what do you think of it?

'Pre-Deck Ability' is a very entertaining prediction trick. I and Mr.Maric modified it and made it a sensation in a TV program.
BTW, 'Pre-deck Ability' is Aldo Colombini's version of Simon Aronson's 'Shuffle Bored' which is based on Bob Hummer' 'Faceup & Facedown Prediction'. Hideo Kato |
