THE BLURB:
An outstanding prediction effect where you have 100% control
over 198 possible outcomes. More than ten years in the
making. This routine is a reputation maker. It has every
performance quality which made Meir Yedid's W.O.W. Book Test
a best-seller. It is self-working. Learned in minutes.
Immediately repeatable. No memory work. No stooges. No
complicated mathematics. Self contained. Can be performed
up-close or on stage. You will love the method as well as
the effect. It is a pure pleasure to perform.
Three spectators are handed some cards with numbers on them.
Each calls out a number from his set (free choice) creating
a three-digit number (free choice). This is repeated until
you have three different, three-digit, numbers. All the
numbers are added and the total matches the prediction,
which could have been mailed to them in advance.
Comes with nine specially printed jumbo cards and an
instructional booklet. Can be repeated 198 times with
different outcomes. Self-working.
MY COMMENTS:
This is an older item that's great to see being re-released.
The principle is older than this product and the cards do
seem a little bit "magicky" as they are professionally
laminated, jumbo cards with numbers on them.
But what makes this worth it is the booklet which has all
the combinations of the nine numbers and the totals. This
is what Meir Yedid contributed so beautifully. By listing
these 198 combinations, it's made this principle so much
more versatile. And the list is arranged numerically by
totals so that you can easily customize the routine. For
example, you see that one of the combinations can force the
number 1998, which happens to be the first year of operation
of the company that hired you. The booklet will tell you
the combination of cards to use to predict that number every
time.
Besides a basic routine and the combinations, the 20-page
booklet also provides instructions for the Charlier shuffle
(which is not necessary, but does add to the routine) and
some extra tips. And, of course, you get nine 5"x7"
laminated cards numbered 1 through 9.
