After the predictions are sealed, the performer NEVER touches them again, even on the night of the performance. This book even shows you how the predictions can be placed under police guard so they cannot be tampered with!

Two weeks later at the show, the VIP opens and reads the predictions, the first two are correct, but the third prediction is wrong. Not bad, two out of three. Even after the prediction is read, the performer does not touch the slip at any time, even secretly. He invites the VIP to bring the slip to the newspaper office the next day and give it to the editor. Once he arrives and gives the slip to the editor, a stunning revelation is made. The missed prediction HAS HAPPENED, and the editor points that out! The performer was a day off on one prediction, but it is in that day's headlines.

Once the prediction is sealed in the envelope, the performer never touches anything again, at anytime. The VIP is not in on it, nor is any media personal. Everyone is fooled, and this will get you maximum publicity for an effect that is extremely easy to do. No secret preshow work of any kind. The book also includes a bonus section on what to predict and not to predict.
