Yes they will be fooled but do they realize that they have a limited choice of cards?

I am fishing as I am careful how I spend my cash these days, thinking of buying this but the only thing that would put me off is if you had to force the card (kind of pre-show) for the second reveal.

Devin already said it uses two clever mental forces that never fail. I, however, would like to point out that if they are both mental forces, then the add is false because the add says that (at least for the first thought of card)there is no forcing whatsoever. Bull. We've heard it from the creator himself.

Eric,
What difference would that make? Do you perform for magicians? |

Many magicians will be impressed at the speed you name the thought of card. In some cases you can name the card almost immediately by saying..You're not thinking of a heart are you..I thought so cause I'm seeing 10 of them. Your card is the 10 of hearts. Yep, that clean and you are correct. Yes they have more than one choice of hearts cards. Foresight gives you the most streamlined way of revealing thought of cards yet devised. No fishing expeditions. I promise, the revelations of the thought of cards is so fast many magicians will wonder how you did it with NO negative responses. Everything you say is correct and it take only two correct comments to reveal any card thought of in the picture.
BTW the picture has over 30 different cards on it, with NO DUPLICATES, even has the joker on it. Think about that. Also in the gag phase you can point to ANY CARD called out and show it in the picture as you say, "They are all here, I can't miss." That is why the Joker is included just in case someone calls it out to be smart. The fact you can apparently point to any card named or what appears to be that be part of that card sells the audience on the fact that every card in the deck is there. The gag partly justifies the use of the picture. You say,"Ever play 52-card pickup. I did last night and this is what it looked liked. See there is your card right there" (as you point to it in the picture. Devin |

Foresight has been used and improved in over 3 years of performing experience with it. I hold nothing back in the directions. If you follow my directions as written you will completely fool both participants and the audience as well. The fact that one of the thought of cards is hanging around your neck the whole time is what KILLS with this. The thought of card may be that of either the first or second participant but you will have the card one of them thought of around your neck.
You will know from the routine which spectator thought of the card around your neck and you save that person for last. That means the first participant can choose a card from the chart without any type of force and that card could be the one around your neck. If not it will be the card the second person has thought of. Believe it or not, you will know who is thinking of the card around your neck as soon as they both think of a card. The person who has unknown to him thought of the card around your neck, is worked with last. The other participant's mind is then read at lightning speed and she is told the card she is thinking of. Ok guys, I've tipped the secret off. This is how is works. Of course you need to buy the trick to see just how this works WITHOUT FAIL in real life. Devin |

Because I'm a writer and editor (National Geographic, etc.), I offered to proofread the instructions for Devin. So I believe I'm the first Café member to know the workings of Foresight.
I can report that the effect is exactly as advertised and is as strong as it sounds in the ad. Devin's descriptions above are completely accurate. Not only that, the instructions are clear, well written -- and free of typos. I definitely recommend this effect! Cheers, Jerry |

I just received Foresight but I can't really comment on my thoughts yet. It's really an effect that you need to play out to see what types of reactions it will get. I'll report back once I've spent the proper time with it. Thanks for the release Devin! BTW, ad copy reads correct if anyone is still questioning that.

Just wondering but... say you're table hopping in a restaurant: could you perform this for just two people at a small table? Will you get the same reactions?
|
|||||||||
Devin Knight V.I.P. 2493 Posts |
Yes, using the small picture card, I do it all the time for two people in the restaurants. It gets great reaction. The directions also tell you a way to do it with only one person one on one. The majority of the time with one person you can show the card was also around your neck.

Can be performed in any language. Later directions will be translated into Spanish, French and Japanese.
