Psychic Scribblies
Created by: Chris Philpot
Psychic Scribblies is a clever close-up mentalism trick where the magician predicts a word thought of by a spectator. The magician riffles through a magazine, has the spectator stop at a random page, think of a word, and then reveals a prediction. The prediction is a set of Scrabble tiles that spell out the exact word the spectator was thinking of. This trick is perfect for magicians looking to add a unique and interactive word prediction effect to their repertoire.
