Seer Pendant by Jackie Zhao and JT Magic

Created by: Jackie Zhao, JT Magic

Seer Pendant is a versatile mentalism and card magic trick designed for close-up, walk-around, and even virtual performances. In the mentalism version, a spectator freely chooses any word from a book, and it is revealed to match a prediction that has been visibly displayed from the start, using an examinable pendant prop to enhance the impossibility. In the card revelation version, a spectator selects a playing card, and by shining a light through the crystal pendant, the card's image is projected onto a surface or appears directly inside the crystal for viewing. Both effects are completely impromptu, require no sleight of hand, pre-show work, or assistants, and reset instantly for repeated performances. Created by Jackie Zhao and JT Magic, this trick is ideal for magicians seeking a strong, visual, and easy-to-perform routine that works in various environments, from casual gatherings to professional shows.
