Predicta by Gilbert Raimond

This effect is beautiful, clever, and convincing, but does require getting very comfortable with the method by practicing it enough so that it is automatic – it is not hard and the impact is so huge the effort is more than worth it. In fact the more convincing your presentational skills are the easier you will find this.

Once you get it smooth I defy you to find a more convincing piece of mentalism. Now factor in that it costs less than $50, packs flat and doesn’t need any pesky batteries (as so much “mentalism” does these days), you just can’t go wrong!

As for the method, you will just die when you see it – very clever indeed. I believe you can fool anyone who is not in the know with this. But you do need to spend a few hours so that it is second nature.

Effect: You show a sealed envelope with a prediction inside. You ask a spectator to name any four numbers from 0 to 100. To memorize these numbers, you write them on a piece of paper. Hand the paper with the numbers you wrote to the spectator, tear open the envelope and hand it to the spectator- inside he/ she will find a lottery ticket (scratch and win- type). You ask them to scratch it and amazingly the numbers match! No force, no influence, any four numbers and it matches every time! Everything can be examined. This uses a revolutionary method. FISM award winner.

Includes illustrated instructions, twenty tickets (ten each in two styles) and felt tip pen. Refills available!
