Thought Foreseen (Instant Download) - Imagine having the power to read someones mind... now imagine no more! This killer routine will make you look like a true mind reader with an ordinary deck of cards.
The Effect A shuffled pack of playing cards is handed to your spectator to cut as many times as he or she wants. When they feel the need to stop, they place a card in their pocket, unseen by you, or anybody, for that matter. You don't even have to be in the room during this part of the presentation, yet you have the ability to name the identity of the playing card in their pocket! Sound impossible? Check out the demo! No forces, stooges, smoke, mirrors, or difficult sleight of hand. You were just Born to Perform!

Mentalism is something that most magicians like to incorporate into their routines and this is a great way to start. The trick is so simple and doesn't require any fancy slight of hand or forces. The spectator actually can cut to any card and it doesn't even need to be replaced. You write your prediction and you get it right every time. The trick does require some set up but it pretty much instantly resets so you're ready to go again. If you are looking for a great mentalism trick, this is it.

too much set up!!!

for such a simple routine that can be repeated in numerous different ways, the setup for this is a real pain and the routine is flat and not that impressive. Save your money and come up with your own version of this trick using sleight of hand

Strong Mentalism at its easiest

This is a really strong mentalism effect. However, there's a catch. It takes quite a bit of setup. It could make an interesting beginner to your routine, but I don't personally use it on a day-to-day basis. It doesn't fit my repertoire, but if you like the effect, I'd definitely buy it!

I think this is a great affect for beginner and professional magicians alike. Even though it does require a bit of setup it's practically self-working when ready. All in all add to your cart
Thought Foreseen, I would say, is one of the top five must have and easy to perform instant downloads on Penguin. Here's a list of pros and cons, and why the trick is worth getting...
Pros:
• beginners can do it (I found this trick in an old book when I was 8 and could blow people's mind even without the fake shuffle)
• reputation maker... "do that trick again!"
• immediately repeatable
• easy to perform: simple method
• can be presented as mind reading, xray vision, or influence
• spectator acknowledges that they have the freedom to cut anywhere
• only .95 for both the method and the most beastly fake shuffle EVER
• absolutely impossible outcome to the spectator
Cons:
• more of an opener or single trick
• large setup (but only have to reset if the deck is truly shuffled)
• false shuffle will take practice (the shuffle isn't necessary for the trick, but if it is used, it adds a 5 times better effect. and if you're doing magic and not willing to practice, then go find a different hobby)
• If the spectator decides to get "smart" with the cards while your back is turned, there is a chance the trick wont work (even if they do, this chance is EXTREMELY SLIM. so don't worry)
ADD TO CART... why? because this is direct mentalism at its easiest to perform, and along with the trick itself, you will get THE BEST FALSE SHUFFLE. Everyone has seen false table shuffles that don't look natural and you don't get to see the cards actually weaving into each other. This is a false riffle shuffle with a bridge... beat that!
and share your thoughts with other magicians!
