The
performer calls attention to three face-down envelopes that are on a
table in full view. He says these contain three predictions. The
performer then has a playing card freely selected and signed while he
looks away; there is no force of any kind. The selected card is then
lost in the deck. The deck is given to the participant, who cuts the
deck at random and deals three cards face down onto the table. The
performer then shows three more envelopes. He places the three dealt
cards into these three envelopes, without looking at them. Neither the
performer nor the participant knows the identity of the cards inside the
envelopes. The participant is then asked to randomly assign a number
from 1 to 3 for each envelope. These numbers are written on the faces of
the envelopes. Finally, the participant is asked to choose one of these
envelopes to set aside for the grand finale.
Now for the
incredible three-way climax. The performer turns over the packet of
three prediction envelopes on the table. Each one also has a number from
1 to 3 written on the face of it. The performer picks up, say, the
envelope that has 2 on it. He opens it and shows it contains a single
playing card. The participant's envelope that he chose to mark with 2 is
also opened. Both cards are seen to match! The other two envelopes with
matching numbers (we will assume number 1) are opened, and those two
cards also match. This double prediction is strong by itself, but the
grand finale is yet to come.
Assume the envelope marked with 3
was placed aside for the grand finale. The performer hands his
prediction envelope marked with 3 to the participant to open. Inside,
instead of playing card, is a written prediction.
The prediction reads: "I predict the envelope set aside will contain your selected card."
The
participant opens the envelope marked with the number he chose to set
aside. Sure enough, inside is his signed selected card!
Extremely
easy to do. No Switches. No Palming. Envelopes can be left for
examination as there is nothing to find. A three-way prediction that
will leave them screaming in disbelief!
Complete with all needed
envelopes, prediction cards and the special gimmick that makes it all
work. Comes with detailed directions detailing every nuisance that you
expect from Devin Knight.
"Devin Knight has taken this principle
to new heights and this effect will certainly stun your audiences. If
you're looking for a very strong mental effect using cards, then I
highly recommend this."
