"I road tested this at my shows, and it's now a permanent part of my repertoire. It looks totally impossible." Gary Jones

Chris Congreave's Postradamus is a system to predict ANYTHING.

With just a stack of cards and a post-it note pad, you will have a powerful weapon in your arsenal to produce incredible prediction effects at a moments notice.

This system allows you to predict your spectator's decision ahead of time; it could be a thought of city, a super hero, a playing card or anything else that you can write or draw on a stack of business cards, blank cards or playing cards.

Postradamus is a powerful secret that anyone can do; there is no sleight of hand and the prediction can be isolated until the reveal.

BONUS: Dee Christopher teaches how to perform a mystery box style routine using the Postradamus method that creates even more impossibility.

Not for me... Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 18th, 2017

Why on Earth would you, almighty magician, write down a prediction on a postit note, attach it to a card, and then lose that card (with your prediction) in the deck, just to look for it less than a minute later? Makes no sense.
Other variations presented in this download are equally not convincing for me. Just think about it: same scenario, you stuck your prediction to a playing card - why did you do it is not clear, but whatever,, let's say you had no harder surface to support your postit note... Why would you then not leave that note in the full view since it's already written? Or not give it to someone else to hold on to Make sure you don't tamper with it? Instead you (magician) hide it to a safe place - your (magicians!) pocket. For heavens sake, wtf. And then, again, extract it from your pocket less than a minute later.
For what it is, i think this was overpriced.

It shouldn't but it does Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 26th, 2017

I agree with many of the other reviews that this effect is flawed in concept. The routines are riddled with illogicalities. Why write a prediction on a postit note by removing it from its pad and sticking on a card fdor support, and then either lose the card in the deck, or remove the paper and put it in your pocket?
I also agree that the explanation could have been done with more elegance.
Nevertheless, try the effect in the real world and you will find that it does have a great impact on an audience, it shouldn't but it does. You can't judge an effect until you've tried it. I wouldn't like to repeat this trick with the same audience, but that is surely a rule good for most magic.
This just proves to me that it is unfair to review an effect until you have performed it, and to underline the fact that a lay audience is not sensitive to the same things we are.

Inconsistency ! Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 22nd, 2017

I Like this effect the problems are the camera is way too far a distance to properly distinguish the explanation the second inconvenience is Sir Congreave's explanation is disjointed & erratic IT IS NOT CLEAR ! It was such an exasperating
& frustrating presentation that unfortunately drove me to drink unceasingly & uncontrollably a pint of Whiskey !The the 3 issue with the presentation is it was recorded in a dimly lit room !all in all I like the effect even though I will never understand the explanation !I give it 5 for the effect & a 1- for the explanation & presentation
I have respect for Mr Congreave's artistry & experience. Mr Congreaves as a courtesy
Please a remake of the explanation for everyone that has purchased or for those that will venture in purchasing this great effect !Dee Christopher segment on a variant of the effect was prefect in terms of cinematographical quality & explanation !

POSTRADAMUS - CHALLENGING Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 23rd, 2017

Many magicians have excellent effects, but I also know that many offer their explanations in such ways that they fulfill their explanation sounding sincere, but they know how to camouflage key details.

The concept of this effect is very inviting, but to me, the explanation lacks clarity due to a language barrier and excessive side-tracking.

I believe the more experienced magicians may have an advantage picking this one up.

I lost patience with the explanation and put it on hold until I have more time. This is not an effect I'd recommend to a beginner.

Needs clearer setup directions. Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 23rd, 2017

First let me say, I trully enjoy performing the effect. It just looks good, plays well and is fun to do. It was worth the extra effort I needed to out into making it work.

Second... about that "extra effort"
Petsonally I found the setup instructions confusing. (Probably me). After messing it up three times and using most of a pad of Postit notes, I backward engineered the setup and now have a completely working effect.

The additional vudeo is also helpful if you do'nt want to go to your pocket or keep the prediction on a card in the deck.

Predicting a card chosen a random Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 23rd, 2017

I've made up the deck and have tried out two of the presentations on my wife. She was impressed and had no
clue to how it was accomplished either time and she is quite knowledgeable about card tricks. I will probably add it to
my next strolling magic event. The only downside is you have to switch decks if you want to perform a different card trick.
Overall it's a great prediction trick.
