Free Magic Trick - Easy Mind Reading

With this free magic trick the magician asks a member of the audience, a series of questions, that are unique to that person. The spectator then writes their answers on a piece of paper and places the piece of paper in glass. At the same time, the magician is seen to be concentrating deeply, appearing to use his magic and psychic powers (a bit of acting required here) writing his prediction on a separate piece of paper that he also puts in another glass.

After the last question has been asked, the magician's predicted answers are compared with the spectator's answers and are found to be the same. This normally gets a great reaction and makes the magician look as though he has amazing powers and can read thoughts by magic.

Secret of this FREE Magic Trick.

The spectator is asked a series of questions and asked to write them on a piece of paper and place the piece of paper in a glass . After each answer has been placed in the glass by the spectator, the magician asks the spectator what answer they had given. The magician acknowledges that he had also predicted that answer and placed it in his glass.

Really, the magician writes the spectators answer one question behind. Even though he writes the answer to the question one question behind this is called a the one ahead principle.The spectator has told the magician, the answer to the last question asked which the magician will write and put in his glass after asking the next question.

When the first question has been asked and the spectator reveals his answer, the magician has placed his supposed prediction in another glass at the same time. What he has actually written on his paper is 'carrot' which is the most probable answer to the final question that the spectator will be asked shortly. This will allow the magician to write each answer as the spectator reveals it. The spectator will be unaware that the magician is writing his answers one question behind. Take out the papers from the glasses and pair up the answers. Stand back and watch the amazed expression of your spectators as they are amazed by your magic prowess by performing this magic trick.

Example Questions :

You should find that most people will choose carrot as their choice of vegetable, however this will not always be the case. If they choose another answer then the audience will still be impressed that you have predicted the other answers. If they do choose another vegetable just claim that they were not on the same wavelength or that you used up all your powers predicting the other answers.

A lot of the magic atmosphere in this magic trick is due to the presentation by the magician.

Be sure to practice your patter and act but make sure it is also entertaining.
