Merlins of Wakefield - It's always magic at Merlins

This will fool the best of Mentalists and Magicians! A prediction is made. It is the name of a card yet to be selected by a member of the audience. The magician displays a transparent perspex plastic board. Six playing cards are attached to the board horizontally. The board is permanently numbered one through six next to the individual cards. Five of the numbers are eliminated by audience spoken choices. The card next to the remaining number is removed from the board and shown to PERFECTLY MATCH THE PERFORMER'S EARLIER PREDICTION! All the cards are different and the full face and back of the cards are seen throughout the effect. This is very clean and direct with no forcing of a card or a number.

Phil Goldstein created this one. A large prediction board faces away from the audience. On the display stand there is a cardboard strip, back out. A number is freely selected (no force) by the spectator. The strip is then turned to face the audience bearing 8 designs. The designs at the chosen number matches the design on Prediction. Works almost by itself!

The magician explains that he has made a prediction by placing a single ESP card in a envelope in his wallet. Then he Introduces five ESP cards and invites a spectator to FREELY choose any one of them. The performer takes out the envelope from the wallet and hands it to the volunteer. The spectator opens the envelope and amazingly the card inside matches the spectator’s card. Remember the wallet is placed in full view before the effect begins, there is only one envelope, absolutely no forcing, no "double"or "flap" envelopes, no double face cards, the spectator removes the card from the envelope themselves. Direct mentalism at its best.

This is a most clever effect by Mikame Craft! TWO magnetic features control the entire effect and outcome, but nobody has any idea! The magician lays the chips on the table in a row so each colour can be fairly selected. The spectator FREELY selects one chip from the six different coloured chips. One chip is left inside the beautifully turned wooden box as your prediction chip. Your prediction chip is a 100% match to their selected chip. An absolute fantastic close-up mind blower! Completely EXAMINABLE! You have control at all times. Repeatable with a different outcome!

The spectator is allowed to pick any card from the deck. The magician then directs their attention to a little plastic wallet that has been in plain site the entire time. Inside the wallet is a prediction.

He opens the wallet and inside is a card with the cardboard cut out of it, showing the name of a card. You can clearly see that there is only one prediction card, and that the holes are really there. Of course, it is the wrong prediction and there is no way to change it. Or is there?

By simply flipping the card around, the holes change from the incorrect prediction into that of the spectators.

 

A spectator chooses a book and names any page; he looks at the first word at the top of the page. Performer names the word! No questions asked. It really is that direct. Spectator chooses a book and opens it at any page. He notes a word ANYWHERE on EITHER of the two pages facing him. Performer names the word!

A Blue, Yellow, Red and Green Tie are displayed hanging from a Band held up for display by the Magician. A member of the audience is invited to choose a coloured Tie. By magic the chosen Tie flies from the Band landing onto the stage. This is repeated until all the Ties are separated from the Band one by one. A very nice looking prop that may be performed impromptu anywhere at a moment’s notice.

A large slate is displayed with four card covers along one side. Three spectators each write a three digit number on a pad, a fourth spectator totals the numbers up to arrive at a random number. This number is written down on the edge of the slate opposite the covers. You now ask someone to select any one of the figures on the slate (free choice, no force) You chalk a frame around the selected didgit. One by one you remove the covers and the audience see that you have written the EXACT same number! Not only that but the same digit is framed in chalk!! Complete with instructionb by Peter Warlock!

Meet the first ever mind-reading bear puppet! This deluxe, plush bear puppet (with clear control rod for paw movement) will baffle and amaze. While the magicians back is turned, a spectator selects one of five coloured tablets and puts it in the bear's mouth. The spectator hides the other four tablets in his pocket. When the magician turns around, he instantly knows which colour was selected! This incredible magic bear can even perform this amazing stunt while blindfolded!! Comes complete with adorable plush bear, tablets and velvet carrying bag for the tablets. The trick is self-working, and operates on batteries, which are also included. You'll love the devilish secret, and instantly find several ways to incorporate the puppet into your show. Remember, there is no forcing of colours, the trick works itself! We sell out of these very quickly so get one while you can!

Predict a randomly selected time with nothing more complicated than a photograph. No electronics, no complicated gimmicks.

Remove the photo block and show the chosen hour frozen in the photograph!
