Another winner by Gerard! Imagine using any scratch tickets you have in your state and be able to predict what is under them!

Walk up to someone with some scratch tickets and have them pick one. You wave your hand over the ticket and write something down. They scratch off the ticket and you turn your prediction around and it matches what is on the ticket.

No switches or NW or indexes. The ticket is from that state and it is legitimate. Do it with almost any scratch ticket.

Here's an idea I got immediately:

I've seen scratch tickets that have certain items that show winners... almost like slot machines. You hand the spectator a paper bag and a scratch ticket. He scratches it and finds that it shows three oranges, two lemons and a cherry. Now you have him open the paper bag and inside are the exact fruits in the amounts described by the ticket.

Could I get an estimate of how much alone time I need with the ticket beforehand?

Are the refills gonna be a pain to get a hold of, or is it something easily found online etc?

Also will this work with tickets from all over the world, well UK anyway?

Sounds great.

I wouldn't recommend performing this effect for avid scratch-offers. The methodology is pretty well-known if it is what I think it is.

I got this yesterday and went out and bought5 scratch tickets and tried it out on a guy right in the store that was playing KEno, and he went nuts ! I did the prediction on the back of his keno ticket. Everyone in the store was watching by the end and they were asking me what numbers to play, for REAL.

I was not expecting this to go over so well? I was with my friend and she thinks its because they did not know I did magic, so maybe the idea I was a trick never entered their mind?
Anyway, So far this has been the best reaction I ever got.

Thanks to Andrew Gerad for releasing this

where are the refils available from cannot seem to find them

I'm a huge fan of Gerard's work. I got this and have to say that its one of my favorite effects he's put out. My favorite so far would be Street Cents, but this is a very close second. I highly recommend that anyone interested in performing strong and direct mind-reading get this.

Scratch & Grin is very nice.

It's a winner as all products from Andrew.
