You are supplied with the special gimmick that can be used in MANY ways. Even though the prediction is in a sealed envelope, you can influence the prediction at a moments notice, without opening the envelope and it can be done right under the spectator's nose.
This gimmick can be used in other applications such as secretly gaining or passing information from an assistant to the performer; spirit slate writing, pre-show work and more. This gimmick is very versatile and with a little thought, will become a strong hidden assistant in your arsenal of secret weapons.
Comes complete with instructions and everything needed to perform immediately. Available in Poker card size. Great for close-up, stand-up, walk-around and impromptu effects.

Boy, have I waited a long time to chime in on this one. I've had it for probably about 2 years. Correction: It's been sitting somewhere on a shelf or in a box for 2 years. I performed this perhaps 3 or 4 times after receiving it, before just throwing in the towel. The laminated card is sooo unnatural looking....so 'propish' that as creative as I am, I just couldn't find a way to explain why I laminated a turd with green writing on it. The prediction is revealed on a black, chemically-looking 'something' with weird green ink-bloch writing on it. And frankly, the way the writing shows up on the card isn't even like concise lines (which would only help this effect slightly btw). My take on this?...don't do it. There are countless better effects to spend 50 bucks on.

Interesting.
Certainly interesting.
I can't really form an opinion of this effect, so I'm going to spout some random thoughts.
You're basically dealing with a nail writer. What's different is that you're "writing" on this strange piece of "laminated stuff".
I think any performance situation would require some explanation of this "laminated stuff". What is it? Why is it? It's just plain strange.
If you can get over that hurdle, then you've got a blank writing palette which you can reuse, possibly forever. It "erases" almost instantly using a small device which could be secreted almost anywhere. The "writer" is almost identical to a standard boon or thumb writer.
It's also interesting that the "impression" can't be erased by any normal means. Even though the writing is obviously encased in lamination, it's unalterable without the special "eraser".
Here's one more caution: you're working with a very dark material encased in plastic. This raises lots of lighting issues. If you're working a dark restaurant or club, the writing will be almost impossible to see. If it's too bright, the light reflected off of the lamination will also make it hard to read.
