Proof by Gabriel Werlen

Created by: Gabriel Werlen

Proof is a mentalism trick that involves a business card and two spectators. The magician has one spectator fold a business card and place it behind their back in either hand, while whispering a prediction to a second spectator. The magician then reveals they knew exactly which hand the first spectator chose, with the second spectator confirming the prediction was made beforehand. This trick is completely self-working and utilizes principles from the Schrodinger's system, making it seem like the magician has multiple realities under control until the final reveal. It's suitable for close-up or impromptu performances and requires only a business card.
