Description
Introducing The BIG Prediction Writer by Robert Malissa of Philly Magic Tours
A classic mentalism idea, made lightyears better!
The Effect
Anyone or a series of people call out digits from 0 to 9.You write them down on a white board with a red or black dry erase marker in the order they shout them out.Clipped to the back of the board, in plain sight the entire time is a manilla envelope.
You detach the envelope, spin the white board around to verify the numbers you wrote are correct, and then reach into the envelope, and pull out a single 6″ x 4″ index card.You turn the card around and written in large numbers in black crayon is the correct number, a 1 in 10,000 prediction!If you had real powers, this is what it would look like.
This is a new system for predicting the answer to any question answered by your audience.It is best for small words, names, or numbers.The routines are only limited by your imagination.
Key points:
- No stooges
- Nothing electrical to worry about
- The prediction can be seen from a distance as the numbers fill the index card.
- The prediction is written in black crayon on the card in the envelope
- The dry erase markers used can be either red or black.
- Easy to do with a little practice
- Has been used hundreds of times in real performances.
- Leaves the audience stunned!

Why this exists:
Robert Malissa runs “The Great Philadelphia Comedy Magic Walking Tour”.He needed an audience participation trick for everyone to do while visiting a large plaza.He asks the whole audience a trivia question and those that are correct move 1 giant step forward.He asks two more questions and those that know the answers move forward.The number of people in each row is counted and that is the basis for a 4 digit number that is written on the board, which matches the prediction in the envelope which has been in plain sight the entire time.
This is a worker routine that has been honed over hundreds of performances.
