Effect

The Lottery Ticket Prediction effect using Cosmos appears as a flawless mentalism routine. A spectator freely chooses lottery numbers, which are then printed on a realistic-looking lottery ticket inside the magician’s wallet. The prediction matches the numbers exactly, creating a moment of astonishment. The entire process happens silently, with no visible technology or suspicious movements.

Full Details

Cosmos is a silent prediction printer that fits inside a standard wallet. It connects to a smartphone app, allowing the magician to print predictions in real time. For the Lottery Ticket Prediction, the spectator enters numbers into an app interface resembling a lottery ticket selector. The device then prints a ticket with those exact numbers inside the wallet.

The printer uses specialized paper rolls, including lottery ticket-style paper, to enhance realism. The printing process is nearly silent, and the wallet conceals any mechanical sounds. The fonts and formatting can be customized to match different lottery styles, making the prediction appear completely organic.

Who Should Consider the Trick

This trick is ideal for:

  • Mentalists who want a versatile prediction tool.
  • Close-up performers needing a compact, self-contained effect.
  • Magicians who perform impromptu—the wallet setup allows for quick, on-the-spot routines.
  • Performers who dislike traditional billets or switches, as the printing method eliminates the need for sleight of hand.

Difficulty

The Lottery Ticket Prediction is easy to perform from a technical standpoint. The app handles the heavy lifting, and the printing process is automatic. The main challenge is presentation—ensuring the spectator’s interaction with the phone feels natural.

David from Magic Orthodoxy notes:
"You're using the phone because you don't have a pen and paper... who walks around with a pen and paper now? Magicians."

The key is framing the phone as a casual tool rather than part of the trick.

What Magicians Say

David praises Cosmos for its versatility and realism:
"This thing passes with flying colors... it's a silent printer that you carry in your wallet that'll literally do any prediction for anyone for seemingly anything."

He also highlights the printing quality:
"The fonts look like real handwriting... the drawings and the way it's put together really looks like magic."

Chris Edwards, another respected magician, also endorses the device, reinforcing its reliability and performance value.

The Lottery Ticket Prediction is just one of many possible routines with Cosmos, making it a strong investment for performers who want a multi-use prediction tool.
