A fascinating automatic effect in which the illusionist manages to accurately predict the two cards on which the spectator will end his imaginary journey through time.
A brand new amazing (self-working) card magic effect where the mentalist will be able to predict the outcome of an imaginary journey through time, between the past and the future, which he will undertake with a spectator, using a simple deck of cards.
After showing it to the audience, he shuffles and has the deck cut, then extracts a first and a second prediction cards and, after cutting it himself, hands it to the spectator so that he can turn over the first two cards and begin this time travel journey.
While the illusionist is explaining the various ways in which, by convention, we are accustomed to subdividing our time and how each of them has been represented in the deck, the viewer stacks under each of the two cards as many as indicated by their respective values. The spectator is then also asked to decide which of the two travels to complete, while the other will be interrupted. Once the corresponding card has been chosen, a number corresponding to its value will be stacked in columns under the relevant card.
But a time travel can proceed both towards the future and the past, and, taking some cards and arranging them in a circle to resemble a clock, the spectator will be invited to count backwards to eliminate the various cards in play, one by one, until only one remains: the origin of the journey undertaken. However, it is also necessary to proceed towards the future and, counting as many cards from the rest of the deck as indicated by the value of the last card just found, the journey will end with the discovery of the only twin (i.e. having both the same colour and value). Incredibly, when the two predictions are finally revealed, they will find the only two twins of opposite colour, thus proving that everything (past and future) had already been predicted in advance by the illusionist!
Key strengths:
- Thanks to the secret pre-ordered stack, the result is guaranteed to be automatic.
- No manipulation of the deck is necessary, only a good presentation, such as the one proposed.
