Sealed message reading and prediction.
"PANACEA is wonderful... it's a very strong piece of work and one that I've been using quite a bit as of recently, thank you again for that!" - Jerome Finley
"Panacea - f***ing awesome! (Quote me!)" - R. Lee
The reader invites the sitter to write a detailed question on a blank index card or business card. A security envelope or coin envelope is initialed by the sitter, and the question is sealed inside the initialed envelope. It is kept by the sitter, never to be touched by the reader again.
The reader then writes a prediction (or a message from the spirits) about the sitter's future on another card that is then sealed in a second initialed envelope by the sitter, which is kept by her, never to be touched by the reader again.
Without opening, touching, or seeing inside the initialed, sealed envelopes which are in possession of the sitter, the reader answers the question.
The sitter leaves with the two initialed, sealed, unopened envelopes; her original written question in one envelope, and the original written prediction in the other envelope, both to be opened at a later date.
Only two envelopes and two cards are used.
- Envelopes and cards are completely unprepared and available from any stationery store or Amazon and can be examined before and after.
- More can be written on an index card than on a billet including a sitter's whole thought or question; not just a word or a doodle.
- Allows you as much time as you need to do the read. This makes Panacea ideal for longer messages or questions. It's not just a quick peek unless you want it to be.
- Nothing needs to be destroyed, torn, ripped, burned, or "gotten rid of" (e.g. dummy billet or gimmicked envelope)
- No impressions of any kind
- No slits
- No cuts
- No windows
- No chemicals
- No transparency methods, utilizing liquids or lights
- No clumsy switching device
- No stooges or helpers
- No flaps or special envelopes
- No jacket or pockets needed
- No palming
- No lapping
- No batteries
- No special pen
- No special paper
- No pocket writing
- No double writing
- No gimmicks (which means, nothing to break or wear out)
- No DIY or anything to physically prepare
- No electronics (Panacea is better than electronics. Electronics won't give you several sentences of information. Electronics break down. What if there's no WiFi or the battery dies?)
- No need to read cold (The question is known by the reader before the answer is given)
- No fishy moves; nothing unnatural or unnecessary (There's only one move or sleight if you can call it a sleight)
- Both cards and envelopes may be initialed by the sitter
- Business cards and coin envelopes can be used
- Can be done sitting down or, with minor adjustments, standing up
- Can be used for preshow work
- Start and end completely clean
A one-person, mediumistic, mind-reading effect. Panacea is not for the merely curious. It is a professional sealed message and prediction effect that will give much more than a quick peek at a single word, number, or doodle. It is for the serious mystery worker who wants to reveal a full thought or question and needs enough justified time to do the read.
Panacea is a limited-release manuscript that is simplistic in its beauty and can be learned in mere minutes.
