David from Magic Orthodoxy reviews 'Binary Prediction' by Nathaniel Segal, a magic trick designed for parlor and stage performances. The trick involves predicting a card selected by the audience, which is then revealed inside five nested black envelopes. The method is straightforward, with the tutorial being less than 2 minutes long, and the trick comes ready to perform out of the box with all necessary materials, including jumbo vision cards and blank billets for customization. Pros include its ease of setup and performance, as well as the strong visual impact for audiences. Cons are the high price of $195 for what essentially amounts to a set of envelopes and cards, and the lack of detailed performance tips or live performance examples in the tutorial. David suggests practicing with random cards to build muscle memory for the trick.
