The following effects are practical, commercial, use classic techniques or principles with new ideas, and, most importantly, are "connection-makers". They are impromptu, for closeup, strolling, and parlor, and do not take much pocket space. Most are very fast, require nothing else than the provided images, tables, list, etc. sometimes with business cards and a pen.
MASCOT: Your spectator has to find your "mascot" among a list. Very easy, and entertaining. In 30
seconds, you will fool everybody, except 4WD addicts!
MONTH PSYCHO: "Month psycho" is another method to guess a birth month. It uses business cards.
You can also divine their Zodiac sign instead of the month. Method 1 uses marked cards. Method 2 is very clever, and ... intuitive. It uses normal business cards. You do not even need to look at them. Method 3 shows how to adapt the method to any audience (kids, corporate, etc.)

THINK OF YOUR LUCKY CARD: Divine a spectator's thought card.
LUCKY CARD PREDICTION: An additional climax: You also predict the card.

OVER THE PHONE: A variant you can do ... over the phone.
LUCKY CARD COINCIDENCE: A stranger thinks of a card associated to their birth month. This is the one you predicted.
RATIONAL THOUGHT NUMBER: A nice and easy way to establish a connection with your spectator, and learn a lot about them.
