The Ultimate "Baby Prediction" plus much more!

Effect A spectator selects a card and it is shuffled back into the deck. The magician states that before he came to the show, he made a prediction which he placed inside of the envelope marked with a question mark.

The magician asks spectator if they have any idea what was predicted in the envelope. The spectator answers "NO", at which time the magician pulls the prediction from the envelope with "NO" in large, bold letters!

The performer states, "You're absolutely correct, in fact, you were "right ON". When he says "right ON", he turns the prediction card over changing the word "NO" to "ON".

The magician now states that he has a prediction on the other side of the "ON" card.

The audience is asked to name a very famous person. Someone everyone will recognize.

When a name chosen, the "ON" card is turned over revealing a baby picture, stating that "Here they are at 6 months old."

Next, the magician states, "I know what your thinking, what if you would have said Oprah Winfrey?" At the that time, the magician opens the small baby picture to reveal a different full size baby picture.

The performer claims that he does in fact have a prediction of the spectator's chosen card. The magician has them concentrate on card, then, the baby picture turns into a "52 Card Prediction". He explains that their card must be there somewhere among the picture of 52 cards.

Finally, the spectator names their card. The "52 Card Prediction" makes one final transformantion, revealing the selected card. A comedy miracle!

This is a quick comedy prediction that is easily used in all situations. Stage magicians, parlor, MC's, stand-up, and yes, even close-up workers will benefit from this fun, entertaining routine. Enjoy!

Mystic Lota Vase - Clay Finish

An elegant metal vase is displayed full of water, which is poured out into another container. The vase is shown unmistakably empty, yet within a few minutes it is again full of water!

The magician performs a few other effects, and when he goes back to the vase, there’s still water in it.
This can go on for many times, creating a running gag that will have your audience astounded.

• Well crafted in aluminum and painted.
• Thanks to its color, it looks like an earthenware vase.

Edwin's Everyone Wins

This gem of an idea now lies buried on page 76 of Edwin's Magic Vol 2. since Edwin (Hooper) and his Supreme Magic Co. are no more It has all the ingredients of the best of Magic effects, - it is extremely simple and fool proof to perform, very effective for any audience with the appropriate presentation, and highly versatile, allowing the performer to use it for almost any type of show, from Children's Birthday Party Shows. to Comedy effects, or Mental effects.

The effect - There are three clear tumblers covered by three different colored covers in a row. Two spectators select two of the tumblers freely (absolutely no force, and they can change their minds as often as they wish), leaving you with the third.
They get empty tumblers - you get one filled with currency bills or the Jackpot. Or for a Birthday party, three kids compete, - and the birthday kid gets the chocolate bar, while the other two get empty tumblers. Once you are familiar with the working, you will discover several presentations, since you can have any tumbler "full" or "empty" entirely under your control. You can even turn the tables, and have two kids discover candy bags with congratulatory messages in their tumblers, while you get a consolation note !

Supplied are three gimmicked velvet bags in three different colors, responsible for the effect. In addition you will require three ordinary clear glass or plastic tumblers that will fit under the bags - (most common ones will serve the purpose).
Supplied with the special bags, and instructions.
