Smooth Prediction
The Other Brothers
Vanishing Inc.
(Based on 1 review)
The Other Brothers have devised an ingenious deck of cards that facilitates the cleanest possible approach to this effect and you can reveal the predictions in your pocket, a wallet, or just about anywhere. The subtly-prepared pack allows the spectator to simply think of any card she sees, and a second spectator to cut absolutely anywhere she likes. This is the kind of trick that cannot be contained in a written description. In the trailer watch how casual, fair, and amazing the sequence looks in the performance.
You receive:
A cleverly gimmicked deck which allows you to perform this incredible routine.
Access to an instructional video which teaches everything in depth as well as bonus handlings!
Running time: 22 minutes approx.

Overview
You are going to have fun performing Smooth Prediction once you put in the time to practice it. It is not self-working but it is a free selection. If the some of the same spectators happen to see you perform it again for example in a strolling or table-hopping environment it can and may be a different card that will be selected. When presenting the effect, you can cleanly show that all the cards are different, no forces are involved. This gimmicked deck using 2 different principles is very well made and will last a long time. It is examinable enough for your spectator to hold the cards long enough to cut them but that’s about the extent of it. There is no DIY or arts and crafts needed however once you receive it you will have to customize the deck to suit your specific choice of words that you want the prediction to say. It will take you a bit of time once you get the deck - maybe 15-20 minutes. So get your Sharpie ready, but once it is done, it is doneThere are two basic moves to you will have to learn and you will need to do some practice (what else in new) however if you already know how to do them you may just need a little brushing up if you have not used them in a while. The angles are pretty good and the misdirection already built into the routine will compensate for some of the dirty work/sneaky move you will have to do to make the predication end up in your pocket. After watching the tutorial when going back to watch the demo I see what is happening but basically invisible if you don’t know what to watch for, very well done.
Where you want the prediction to show up is totally up to you. The Other Brothers do a great job in the online tutorial teaching the basic routine of having the predictions end up in your pockets. There is really only one card in each pocket, either show the pockets empty after the prediction is removed or have the spectator remove the card. They also teach other routines such as finding the prediction in an envelope, in your wallet, in the card box, under the spectators’ shoe - WOW. Be creative but do consider that anywhere other than your pocket will drastically reduce and affect the best angles you have to work with. Do note that if you want to have the prediction end up in an envelope it will require some arts and crafts but it is very well explained and shown step by step on how to make it. Just this in itself is awesome, if you do not use it in this routine, it has so many applications with other card revelations you already do. Have it signed and end up in the envelope, no problem.
Smooth Prediction is definitely a 5 star rating but feeI have to take off 1/2 star because the deck cannot be fully examined. Even with this it is certainly a great effect, a great buy and great addition to your repertoire.
