Luck of the Draw reading system. This is a wonderful easy system that is well suited to entertainment readings as well as being able to go more in-depth. It is great for walk-a-round situations too. TC often uses Luck of The Draw as an "add-on" to other readings. It is fun and very non-offense style of oracle, as it deals with "Lucky Items".

Revised edition 2012, 17 pages.

Designed for the serious working performer, 'Whacked!' is a 10 minute mind-reading routine which revolves around Dave Gorman's best-selling comedy book Googlewhack Adventure. If you've no idea what that is, you can bring yourself up to speed by heading over to www.davegorman.com

This second edition manuscript gives full details of Mark's script and psychological approach – which is one of the things that lifts Whacked head and shoulders above so many other book-tests.

The magician presents to the spectator a deck of blue backed cards and shows that this is just a regular deck of 52 cards. The magician places the deck, face up, on a table. This is the last time that the magician will touch the deck.

The magician invites the spectator to cut the deck approximately in half and place it next to the original pile. The spectator is then invited to select one of the two piles which is then put to one side.

From the selected pile the magician invites the spectator to deal the cards face-up and to stop at ANY card they wish. This gives them a genuinely free...

"Dee Christopher has managed to find an exciting and original way to introduce a dangerous stage classic to the close-up arena. A marvel idea from an amazing artist." - Daniel Madison

"Great bit of original thinking mixed in with the prospect of burning things. Double win! Sadly, it always works...so it's terrible for pyromaniacs." - Paul Brook Mind Reader

From the introduction by Dee...

Predictions are one of the most important plots in mentalism. As a performer you want to be ready to make a perfect prediction any time any where. And you want it to be simple, clean, and unsuspicious.

Imagine being able to make a prediction without any force, without any switch, with borrowed items, without any suspicious movements. Spot is a 100% impromptu way to make a prediction of any kind:

• ESP symbols
• Initial names
• Numbers
• Dates
• Playing Cards
• Etc.

The method behind Spot is so simple, so easy and yet so deceptive and powerful....

Main Effect:

POW will travel over a row of cards and directly stop on the spectator's selected card. POW will also follow freshly drawn curving lines (road) to a row of cards and will automatically stop on the chosen card.

Until now, there have been few ways to tie in your magic with balloon sculpturing....
