Finally you can learn and perform Wordsmyth, the hit trick that fooled Penn & Teller! Wordsmyth is mentalism with fascinating props and an intriguing plot.
In an amazing coincidence, a spectator randomly selects a word from a dictionary as participants take randomly selected scrabble tiles from a net bag. These tiles are formed into any word…that perfectly matches the prediction.
Right out of his corporate act Cody Fishers KILLER PREDICTION is a masterpiece of stand up magic.
The magician introduces a cased deck of cards as his prediction. Then tossing three different colored paper balls into the audience three spectators are chosen. Together they freely select the identity of a single playing card.
The magician reveals that there is in fact only one card face up in the deck…it is the freely chosen card…AND it has a different color back than the rest of the deck! For the KILLER ending the three audience volunteers are instructed to open the paper balls and hold the papers high above their heads. Unbelievably the first paper says TEN, the second paper says OF, and the last paper says HEARTS!
A show stopping prediction effect!
