Mind Prediction Board by Apprentice Magic

Effect

The Mind Prediction Board creates a mentalism effect where a spectator freely names a word, number, or thought. The magician reveals a prediction that matches the spectator's choice exactly. The prediction is shown to have been written and sealed before the spectator made their choice. This makes the performer appear to have genuine mental abilities.

Full details

The Mind Prediction Board is a self-contained mentalism prop. It is a physical board used for prediction routines. The performer writes predictions and seals them in full view of the audience. Three different spectators can freely name different items such as numbers, places, or random thoughts. The board is then shown to contain perfect matches for all three choices. No electronics are used in the method. The prop can be inspected by spectators after the performance. It is designed to be repeatable with different groups of people.

Who should consider the trick

This trick suits magicians who want to add mentalism to their performances. It works well for walk-around magic and close-up situations. Beginners can use it because no prior skill is required. Professional mentalists may find it useful for its clean method and strong impact. It is particularly good for performers who want to focus on presentation rather than complex techniques.
