A numerology experiment involving two predictions with only two packets of cards.
The magician introduces a set of playing cards for a numerology experiment. They all have a different value/number. Some have a red back and some have a blue back. The spectator deals the cards in two piles and puts any pile onto the other one. He does that as much as he wants. For the first phase, the magician needs to evaluate the level of synchronicity between him and the spectator. He removes a set of double blank cards from an envelope (on the table from the start). On one side of each card, he wrote the word RED or BLUE. (We don't see the other side yet.) Both packets are dealt at the same time: The order of the colors in each packet is identical! Now, they move to the second phase: The spectator cuts his packet and the magician deals it in four pairs. The spectator chooses a pair and adds the two numbers of his pair. The sum will be his number. Let's say, it is 10. The magician removes one card from his packet and turns it over: On the other side is written the number 10 with the word INSTINCT below it. He explains: "The number 10 symbolizes the instinct. The ability to trust yourself to do the right thing. Look, you put the colors in the right order and you chose the appropriate number. Had you mixed your cards differently, you would have failed. Because if we look at my other cards..." He turns over the other cards in his packet: They are all blank!
Easy to do. Fast reset. No gimmick. The cards and the envelope are ordinary. You will need eight double-blank cards.
