The Blurb
Wayne Rogers’ new book, Automated 2-Way Prediction Envelope is a joy!
It is clearly written in a straight forward way, it is a full sized book (over 40 pages) and the illustrations and production are top notch!
The name of the book may be misleading to some. Yes, it is a 2-way prediction envelope, but you also have to realize it is also a switching and forcing envelope as well. That opens the door to a lot of great mentalism!
Wayne is a consummate professional and he thinks in practical ways. The envelopes are easy and quick to make, work flawlessly and can even be recycled.
And then comes the routines! There’s dedicated material from the likes of Richard Webster, Chris Matthewson, Luca Volpe, Greg Arce and many more!
There is not a single routine that I wouldn’t do in a real paying show and I mean that! I’m sure you will find something for you regardless of what your performing style is. I am honored to be associated with this book.

Jheff's Guide
WHAT IT IS:
Book, 8.5″x11″ paperback
HOW ACCURATE OR COMPLETE THE BLURB IS:
Mostly, but I think it doesn’t emphasize one key point which I’ll mention below.
WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED THAT YOU NEED OR NEED TO KNOW:
I think this blurb from inside the book may clarify an important point about this: “The special envelope is used to switch between two possible predictions or sets of instructions or sets of instructions, right under the nose of the spectator and…most importantly…the spectator handles the envelope.”
SUITABLE VENUES:
Close-up, Parlour, Stage, Walkaround
JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
Initially an e-book, this describes how to make this utility envlope which has lots of uses. Wayne’s thinking is always good and this is no exception, so I definitely recommend checking this out.
