Looks great but for me the problem is that after the change, ALL of the heat is on the card... and that's when you have to sw***h out the card. Worst possible time. I would routine this so that there is another reveal happening somewhere else while you make the sw***h.

I've been working this for a good 3/4 weeks now... its awesome ...the reaction you get is just phenomenal ...
people seem to be worried about he "cleaning up" of the predicard... I don't understand why ..... there is an off beat moment that you could bring an elephant into the room...i suppose its that thing of "why run when your not being chased..." you do the change ...then relaaaaaaaax.... and in that off beat.. the "mucky" work is done... its worked well for me, I love predichange and highly recommend it !...
hey guys !!!... looking forward to joining this community.. some WILL hate me.. some MAY love me ... enjoy !!!...

I think the best place to use this is mid set in a multiple card revelation as bit of visual fluff and comedic relief. You pull the face card out of your pocket as an incorrect predication, turn around to the drawing for a second incorrect prediction, "ok sir what was your card then," bam, applause, card back in the pocket and move on.

Just had this idea for a mentalism presentation, possibly linked with "The 100th Monkey" routine where audience volunteer sees something different on a sign than the rest of the audience. This other routine can be presented as hypnotism-type effect where volunteer temporarily loses the ability to read something that the rest of the audience can read easily.
Predichange can be used in a similar fashion, sacrificing the visible change for an incredible demonstration of suggestion on an audience volunteer. Bring volunteer to stage, make drawn prediction on card, then have card "freely" selected by volunteer. Tell everyone that card selected has been predicted, show wrong prediction to volunteer. When they say that the prediction is incorrect, have them show their card to everyone, then turn prediction card around to show audience that the prediction IS correct, turn it back to volunteer who STILL maintains that it's NOT. Audience is convinced that you've hypnotized volunteer. |

AHofer I think that's is a great idea. A top change is 'dirty', why bring the card near the deck when you can use this to do it pertly clean? No deck in your hands, impossible for the audience to back track later! Similar to an old luke jermay idea with a word on ONE piece of paper. No deck in hands= awesome!
Magic effects become your own when you remix them and use them in ways not thought of before. Creativity all the way brother! I would bring someone up and say in a moment I will get you to choose a card, but first here is my written prediction. Take a card and 'write' on it, show the spectator, then turn to the audience and show them. Get the spectator to shuffle the rest of the cards, do a involved and elaborate force and let him keep his card and show the audience also. Slowly reveal his card and ask him if your prediction he saw as correct. He says no, audience says yes, get him to look back down at the prediction he saw, bam. Clean. |

True, it makes so much more sense to draw a playing card on a playing card rather than, you know, show the value of the actual playing card.
oh hang on, it doesn't, does it? and if you think a top change is dirty compared to drawing pointlessly on a gimmicked card, well, I guess we have different interpretations of what dirty means. |

Thanks, hackmonkey.
I've been routining this and also got feedback from Chris Philpott, who thought this was a good lead in to his "100th Monkey" effect, and he asked if he could include it in the next update. I sacrifice the visual effect because I'm doing a mentalism act, not a magic act. The effect is not a card that changes, but apparent hypnotism or other warping of a volunteer's perceptions. A mentalist doesn't want the effect perceived as a magic trick at all -- it's a mental effect, not a card trick. I have no problem writing on the back of a card for the prediction, because the actual card is in the spectator's hands. Finally, I can't do a top change because 1) as hackmonkey points out, I have ONLY a single card in my hand, not a deck, which has been put down on the table prior to showing the prediction; and 2) I'll be turning the card back and forth between the volunteer and the audience several times, each time showing the volunteer the wrong prediction and the audience the right one. For anyone interested, here's the sequence I'm planning: Mentalist writes prediction on card, volunteer selects the 5 of Spades, mentalist then shows prediction (3 of Clubs) to volunteer (audience can't see it yet), who says that the prediction is wrong. Mentalist turns card to the audience, changing it to 5 of Spades in the same movement, and states "oh, he says this isn't his card...". Then the magician turns the card back to the volunteer, switching it back to the 3 of Spades, and says "are you SURE this isn't your card? Show everyone what card you selected." Volunteer shows his card, which is the 5 of Spades, and audience begins to react, as they've seen that this WAS the prediction. "You STILL think this isn't the card you picked?" Mentalist turns card once again to the audience and shows them the 5 of Spades, turns it back to the volunteer and shows him the 3 of Clubs. "What you don't realize is that your perceptions have been altered to make you BELIEVE you're seeing the wrong card here, but I can release you from that illusion with a snap of my fingers. Are you ready?" Mentalist snaps his fingers and flicks the card one last time, changing it visibly from 3 of Clubs to 5 of Spades for the volunteer, who now, mind blown, admits that it now shows the correct card. The volunteer is the ONLY one who actually sees the card change visibly, and when he describes it to his friends back in the audience later, they all look at him like he's crazy and believe that his mind really WAS altered. This is classic pattern for mentalism effects -- "dual reality", where the effect perceived by the volunteer is different from that experienced by the rest of the audience, but the discrepancy itself adds to the overall effect. ...Anyway, I don't think any ordinary slight like a top change can match the effect I have in mind. And at the end of this, no one's going to be wondering "why did he write a card on the back of another card" |
