Word Test by UMES and Black Box Magic Creations

Created by: UMES, Black Box Magic Creations

Cosmos is a silent prediction printer designed for mentalists and magicians, offering a versatile range of prediction effects. It works in conjunction with a smartphone app to silently print predictions in real-time, which are then revealed from a wallet. The device can predict three-digit numbers, lottery tickets, words, book test selections, drawings, times, and even generate magic squares. The printing noise is virtually undetectable, making it highly deceptive. The product includes various paper rolls (lined, blank, lottery ticket style, and book test paper), a USB charging cable, and a nondescript wallet for concealment. This is a technology-based trick that excels in close-up and mentalism performances.

Effect

The Word Test is a silent prediction effect using the Cosmos device. A spectator writes a word in a notes app on a smartphone. The magician then reveals a printed slip of paper from their wallet that matches the exact word the spectator wrote. The effect appears as if the magician predicted the word in advance, with no visible connection between the phone input and the printed output.

Full Details

The Word Test is one of several routines possible with the Cosmos silent prediction printer. The device works with a smartphone app that allows spectators to input information—in this case, a word—which is then wirelessly transmitted to the printer inside the magician’s wallet. The printer produces a small slip of paper with the spectator’s chosen word, appearing as if it was pre-written.

The printed output can be customized with different fonts to resemble handwriting or printed text. The wallet conceals the printer, making the reveal seem impossible. The entire process is silent, and the printing noise is muffled by the wallet and ambient conversation.

Who Should Consider the Trick

The Word Test is ideal for:

  • Mentalists who want a clean, technology-assisted prediction effect.
  • Magicians who perform impromptu or close-up magic and need a versatile tool.
  • Performers who enjoy wallet-based magic and want an upgrade from traditional billet techniques.

Difficulty

The Word Test is easy to perform from a technical standpoint. The magician only needs to:

  • Have the spectator input a word into the app.
  • Wait for the silent print (a few seconds).
  • Reveal the printed word from the wallet.

    • The challenge lies in presentation—making the interaction with the phone feel natural and not drawing attention to the technology. As reviewer Magic Orthodoxy notes, "If you're talking at all while it's happening, no one's going to ever hear a thing."

    What Magicians Say

    • Magic Orthodoxy praises the Word Test as part of Cosmos’s versatility, stating, "They can write down a word like 'gashes' or whatever... it prints up on just a little white piece of paper." He emphasizes that the effect doesn’t feel like a technology trick, making it deceptive.
    • The reviewer also highlights the natural presentation: "Pulling out a Notes app... looks normal. We see those things all the time."
    • The device’s ability to mimic handwriting adds to the illusion, with fonts that "look like real handwriting."

    The Word Test is one of many applications of the Cosmos system, offering a modern, foolproof method for word-based predictions.
