Absolute Certainty

 Now available at www.magiciansmagicshop.com

The spectator names five different drawings, which are then sketched onto five blank cards. A prediction is written down on a post-it notepad. The spectator freely selects one of the cards, and it matches the prediction perfectly. For the kicker, the performer reveals that all of the other cards are completely blank. The chosen card with the drawing happens to be the only real option from the very beginning, proving the performer's absolute certainty. This effect is direct, hits fast and hard, is practical for real-world performance, and blends the essence of both drawing duplication and prediction effects in a simple yet powerful way. Hence making it unique and mind-blowing. Key Points: No gimmicks (just post-it/small notepad, few blank cards and pen) Perform impromptu Multiple versions taught Any drawing is possible No force A true feat of impossible mentalism, leaving your spectators spellbound and questioning whether their choices were ever truly their own. Absolute Certainty by Juman Sarma, turning free choice into pure inevitability. Download Now!
