This effect was created by the Swedish Amateur Mentalist and Stage Magician Goran Klyve in 1987. Goran started working for Harries in 1985 and has created a number of effects for Harries.
Harries of Sweden make some great magic props for Parlor and Stage. Their quality is not that of Milson-Worth or Michael Baker but they fall in line with other premium brand European manufacturers such as: Magic Hands and Mephisto-Huis and have consistently produced great magic.
This effect uses large props suitable for parlor or a small stage and allows for the very clean prediction of a number that is chosen by the spectator throwing a dart at the board. Plenty of byplay opportunity with the dart (it is a real dart) and the work is all done by the props. It even allows for a different outcome for repeat performances. They simply throw the dart and you turn around the card at the number they hit, and it is the same as the card in the prediction envelope – which can be held and opened by a member of the audience.
This is a great effect but it is a large prop and so remember it is not really designed for close-up.
