Hello! Here is a collection of Open Prediction methods, entitled: "Of Paradise".
Over the past several months, I've seen a few effects of this sort: a card is selected, not looked at, replaced face-down in a face-up deck, and it is then revealed to match your prediction. Unfortunately, those releases are either heavily gimmicked, or have misleading descriptions. The methods in "Of Paradise" rely solely on sleight-of-hand: - there are no extras to add/subtract from the deck, - the deck can be borrowed, - No R/S - No SF - No sticky stuff - etc., etc The methods are... unorthodox. They're not terribly difficult, though they will take some practice. The demo can be seen here, at the bottom of the page: http://wanderingmagic.com/products/of-paradise Best, Tom Phoenix P.S. For everyone in the Free Magic Series, I will add a card-at-any-number-type effect sometime tomorrow, which utilizes the Oreo Switch. |

Hey, you're welcome! I do enjoy giving magic methods/effects/writing out for free. Sometimes I have to sell something, to justify the amount of time I put into making the free stuff.

Hello, do you have a good knowledge of the subject or can we expect to find open prediction already available from other authors ?
Open Prediction Project - Thomas Baxter Thomas Bloomberg - Blomberg Laboratories Tommaso Guglielmi etc. |

That should cover it. Let me know if you have any other questions. Best, Tom |

Hello,
Thank you for those clarifications. Bought, watched and I do not regret my purchase for 10 $. Method number 2 is a winner for me. |

Glad you enjoyed it! I do like solid methods, and even price points.
There's a lot of this: "30 bucks for a single linguistic trick which works 90% of the time, not counting the 80% of the times you can't use it..." stuff which has been sold lately. So I like to make sure that the bulk of what I sell is at a fair price and contains variants or alternate methods to help ensure that everyone finds value in it. Have fun with #2! |
