Prophecy Pack

When David moved to Los Angeles from New York he made his West Coast reputation with this effect.  The magician writes down a prediction on a folded piece of paper which remains in plain sight.  A deck is shown – the spectators see different faces. The SPECTATOR shuffles the cards . The SPECTATOR deals the cards into piles. The SPECTATOR picks a pile and turns over the top card – let’s say it’s the Queen of Hearts. Needless to say, the selected card matches the prediction.  Anyone can do this effect, but it’s combination of principles and subtle handling make it one of the strongest mental effects with cards one can do.
