It involves the magician accurately predicting a spectator's choice from several options, all while blindfolded or without any apparent means of seeing. The trick utilizes the Nature Bag system, which includes four opaque drawstring bags and a blindfold, allowing for a clean and examinable performance.

Effect

The Super Prediction is a mentalism routine performed with the Nature Bag system. The audience sees the performer blindfolded or with their back turned while spectators place personal objects into identical velvet bags. The bags are mixed, and the performer correctly identifies which object belongs to which spectator. In some versions, the performer reveals a hidden prediction that matches the selections made by the audience.

Full details

The Super Prediction routine uses four opaque velvet bags, a blindfold (optional), and a marking system that allows the performer to secretly track which bag belongs to which spectator. The bags are visually identical, making the method undetectable. The routine can be adapted for different presentations, including color-matching, object identification, or prediction effects.

The tutorial teaches multiple methods for revealing information, including a prediction-based version where the performer unveils a pre-written match to the audience's choices. The bags are examinable, and the system requires no electronics or complex gimmicks.

Who should consider the trick

This routine is best for performers who want a versatile mentalism tool for stage or parlor settings. It suits magicians who prefer tactile, non-electronic methods and enjoy interactive audience participation. Those who perform psychometry or prediction-based acts will find this particularly useful.

Information on how difficult it is to perform

The marking system is intuitive and easy to remember, requiring minimal practice. The handling is straightforward, with no difficult sleight of hand. The main challenge is presentation—making the routine engaging and justifying the use of the blindfold or bags.

What magicians say

BAM_magic notes that the Super Prediction routine is strong but suggests improvements: "It was a good routine but could have been better if they didn’t add the personal items in the bag... it would have been more powerful if they just had the billets."

MagicOrthodoxy praises the system’s practicality: "The marking system is incredibly easy and intuitive... you'll know forever." He also highlights its value for stage performers, calling it "a great psychometry effect" with strong audience impact.

Both reviewers agree that the Nature Bag system, including Super Prediction, is well-made, angle-proof, and offers strong potential for customization.
