THE SIGNED CARD PREDICTION

THE SIGNED CARD PREDICTION

This playlist explores a terrific effect that was very popular in the 30's and 40's. I will be adding more and more methods over the months.

I love it because it's simple, direct, and there's a ton of clever versions available, perfect if you ever have to repeat the trick.

The classic effect: The magician creates a prediction by writing the name of a card on the face of another card. A card is freely chosen by the audience, and amazingly THAT card matches the written prediction.

This is the first of at least FIVE trick deck methods for doing this one effect. I will be added them all over the next few months

    The final - for now- and my fave. This is Al Baker's brilliant take on the signed card prediction effect. and this video is an in depth investigation into not only Al's original technique but a bunch of variations and handling added over the years.

    I’ve been working on deck switches lately, as I need a bunch of them in my show, and by accident I discovered a rather easy and absolutely disarming switch. It’s easy, off-beat and invisible, and I’m sharing it with you.
