Effect

The Forced Word/Drawing effect using the Soulmate prop allows a magician to make a spectator believe they freely chose a word or drawing, when in reality, the magician controlled the outcome. The spectator may write or underline a word, or draw an image, only to discover the magician predicted it perfectly. This creates a moment of surprise and often humor, especially when the chosen word or drawing is unexpected.
