Description
Food for Thought By Devin Knight
The performer shows a menu card from a restaurant listing various foods. Anyone is invited to come forth and secretly write the name of any food from the menu on a blank index card and drop it face down on a plate.
NO FORCES OR RESTRICTIONS. The performer says the special of the day at the restaurant is two for the price of one. To get the special the performer has to order the same item. Performer than secretly writes down his choice from the menu on another index card and drops it on another plate. Once this has been done the performer and participant exchange plates and both show the audience the name of the food written on the index cards. Amazingly, the performer and participant both chose the same food! As a final Kicker the performer shows that he PREDICTED the food the participant would choose. [Note: the kicker prediction is not a 100% sure thing, but will happen roughly 80% of the time.]
No carbons used or secret impression devices of any kind. The person is only given one stiff card to write on. Baffling beyond words. This effect fooled almost everyone who saw it at Devin's Lecture.
Complete directions, disposable plates at your grocery store and the PDF has the menu you print off your computer. Comes with full directions and bonus effect where the performer shows he predicted the food that would be chosen.
