Mentalism & Spiritism in Magic & Mentalism: page 47

This is probably the best book ever written on headline predictions. It describes in detail the methods behind the two greatest headline predictions ever performed. The first one was performed by mentalist Robert Nelson in 1947 and was known as the Miracle Prediction of the Age. It achieved world-wide publicity overnight.

In 1985, Devin Knight ala Jason Michael, did the Ultimate Headline Prediction, and achieved world-wide publicity and fame overnight. In fact, it achieved more publicity than any other headline prediction in the history of magic.

Both of these predictions generated publicity worth millions of dollars....

The performer talks about a secret United Nations project called Dictator Diction related to a study about dictators. A participant is asked to think of one of the frequently used words of any one of the infamous dictators. Then the performer, apparently using his secret knowledge of the confidential project findings, not only divines the chosen word but also other information like the name of the dictator, his country and even his years of birth and death. A very impressive feat indeed.

Like The Grow Devils Principle, this method is based on yet another innovative principle which is not known to have been used...

"Did I tell you about the time I won the World Poker Tournament? No? Maybe it's because it hasn't happened yet! But it will, it will..."

Dream Poker casts the spectator as the one with all the answers. He reveals three irrefutable facts about something that hasn't even happened yet.

This is what the audience will perceive from their point of view. It will seemingly appear like propless mind reading to the participants.
