One of the most charming predictions we've ever seen, from one of the most devious minds in magic. A child’s drawing predicts a card freely chosen by your spectator. This is Predicshuns by Roddy McGhie.

Here’s what happens:

You introduce an envelope that holds a handful of playing cards that were drawn for you by a child. More importantly, the child drew these drew them for a specific person. One of the cards is hidden because you believe the child drew it specifically for your spectator. That card is placed face down on the table while you take out a deck of cards and have your audience freely name any card in the deck. The named card is taken out of the deck, the mystery card is turned over, and impossibly they match!

Predicshuns comes with everything you need to perform it right out of the box. The gimmicked deck and special prediction cards do all of the work for you. The charming children’s prediction cards were hand drawn by Roddy’s daughter and will capture the hearts of any audience. This trick was a massive hit at the Blackpool magic convention, and now you can perform it to get incredible reactions. This is the kind of quirky Roddy-style effect with a clever routine that can fit anyone’s style. If this is your first Roddy McGhie effect, you’ll love how every detail is worked out so that you draw the audience in with a charming presentation and then hit them between the eyes with an impossible prediction. If you are a long-time Roddy fan, you’ll love that one of his sleeper hits is finally available as a complete set, exactly the way Roddy has used this as an opener for years. Predict any freely named card with a child’s drawing when you perform Predicshuns by Roddy McGhie.

Roddy McGhie Has Done It Again Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 22nd, 2023
Roddy McGhie has done it again, created a card trick that's not really a card trick. Like "Little Door" or "Xerox," this uses playing cards, but that's not what the effect is about. While it uses an unassuming deck of Bikes, the trick quickly progresses to something the spectator hasn't seen before.

The specialty cards are beautiful and unique, as is the whole premise. The reset is nothing, and the presentation has "walkaround" written all over it. And best of all, the choice is truly free, so you can indeed perform it at multiple tables with different results.

My only word of caution is the deck is very unexaminable and there is no easy way to clean this up. I didn't deduct a star because I think examinability is overrated. (When was the last time you saw David Copperfield say, "I'm now going to bring my show to a grinding halt so the audience can randomly examine my props"?)

And finally, a new (at least new to me) Penguin feature is that the instructional download is added to your "MyPenguinMagic" page the moment you hit the order button. While I'm used to waiting several days for Penguin products to make their way from California to Virginia with the free shipping option, I love being able to get a head-start and my curiosity satisfied with the instant gratification of the video.

Insane reactions Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 26th, 2023
When I first saw this effect, I was immediately intrigue and impressed by the method and presentation. What a great use of a gimmick. I was not disappointed by what I received. I went through the thorough explanation of the trick a few times and finally tried it out on some customers at the bar/restaurant I work at with insane reactions. The customer that I performed it for had seen literally dozens of my tricks and had me perform a private party at his house, so needless to say he had seen many of my effects. He was blown away and was speechless, only saying that it was by far the best thing he's seen me perform. Before settling on a card (which btw is a totally free choice), he changed his mind on his choice which befuddled him even more. One of the best reactions I've ever had from an effect and I've been doing magic professionally for almost 30 years.

Kudos to you, Roddy!!!!!!!!!!!!

So fun Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 24th, 2023
Even for a total beginner, this trick is easy to perform, and more importantly, it's fun. When the tutorial explained the very, very simple move (if you can even call it a "move") that accomplishes the trick, I didn't think it would fool anyone, but in fact, it does. Every time.

After seeing how the deck is put together and learning the routine, you could potentially even make your own deck with your own kids as a sort of family magic project. That's what we're doing! Everything you would need to do that is available on penguinmagic.

A Touch Of Class Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 22nd, 2023
Roddy has taken a classic an improved on it further and some more.
These cards are not only beautiful in appearance but he makes the plot so believable and added a twist in the handling like only the genius of Mr McGhie can.
Absolutely brilliant Gaz Lawrence 👍👍

My Predicshun is you will buy this effect Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 20th, 2023
This is a fun card trick that takes everyone out of the standard card trick with a standard deck to something no one has ever seen as in the effect, and the props. When I first opened the cards it was a lot of fun just to go through the deck and pick my favorite hand drawn cards. I usually buy tricks that I know how they are done so I know what I am getting this was no different I knew the handling and which cards were gaff and as someone who has done magic for 16+ years I knew this would amaze a spectator and I was right. A funny side note; my girlfriend who also loves magic and knows a few tricks wanting to know the handling so I went through it with her and then I said let me preform it from the start as if you have never seen it before, and at the end of the trick I showed her the prediction card front and back, and guess what she was fooled by the trick lol 😂 which proves just how good this effect really is!

Great Effect! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 16th, 2023
I love this effect! The spectator just can't wrap their head around the reveal and how it works. It is very deceptive. I also like the idea that the reveal can be any card in the deck. Very well designed. I even love the packaging that it comes in. Highly recommended!

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 14th, 2023
You might think that this is a little pricey but the quality of the trick speak for itself all the way from the packaging to the props, the instructions and the trick itself. Easy to perform and a fun fooler for your audiences.

Super cute card trick! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 30th, 2023
Roddy McGhie is my new favorite magician. His tricks are unique. I love anything this man sells. I was super excited to get this and I'm very pleased. You get a full deck of special cards and an envelope for your predictions. There's nothing to go out and buy extra, no refills you'll have to get, no flaps, or magnets. Just regular cards with cute artwork. The video is done nicely and Nick Locapo teaches you step by step. The video is very well done, about 50 minutes long. This trick doesn't require knuckle busting sleights. It only uses two very simple ones. People love this trick, especially the ladies. They think the art and story is cute. I highly recommend this trick to anyone wanting to do a different type of card trick. The art alone for these cards is well worth the price.

Predicshuns.... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 14th, 2023
I love this trick. It's very simple and obvious to most magicians but the gimmicks are priceless. I tell everyone my granddaughter wanted to be a magician so I told her she had to make her on deck of cards..... lol

Nice but not great Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 12th, 2023
The cards are well-made, the drawings are first rate, and the trick is fool proof. Maybe it's my presentation but people find the trick amusing. Not astonishing. If you know Paul Curry's Touch, it's the same effect and method but I think Touch is much stronger.
