The Blurb
Stick this straight in your wallet and get ready to knock some socks off.
A horoscope you cut from a newspaper is eerily accurate and contains a prediction of exactly which word your participant thinks of.
One newspaper clipping is all you need, no extra props just a solid piece of mentalism you’ll carry and perform anywhere and everywhere.
Suitable for Zoom-style shows, close up, casual performance, walk around.
I’m really excited to be sharing with you this really clever and simple creation by my friend Dave Cook who has created a really powerful pocket effect that will blow people’s minds.
Available as an instant digital download where you can print the clipping yourself (we give you a source for the paper too), as a physical booklet with 4 hand-cut newspaper clippings, or as a combo deal. Whichever suits you.
“This is absolutely brilliant! It literally went in my repertoire after one minute after reading it!” – LUCA VOLPE
FAQs
Q1 – Does it work in non English languages?
You are receiving specially crafted text to make this effect work and the text is supplied in English. However you can present this in another language as long as you frame it as a cutting from an English newspaper. This arguably makes it even more interesting.
Q2 – How many clippings are included?
In the physical version of this, we include 4 printed copies on newspaper stock. But we also include links to download the pdf and a link to the source for the paper so you can make more yourself, easily.
The newspaper is not damaged at all when performing this so it should last you a long while.
PLEASE NOTE THE PRICE ABOVE IS FOR THE PDF. £15.99 IS THE PRICE FOR THE PHYSICAL COPY OR THE PHYSICAL COPY/PDF COMBO.

Jheff's Guide
WHAT IT IS:
20pg PDF, plus a downloadable PDF containing a printable version of the article
HOW ACCURATE OR COMPLETE THE BLURB IS:
It doesn’t mention the invaluable advice Dave provides about storytelling and how to use it for this effect. That alone is almost worth the price of this short manuscript, but, of course, without connecting to the effect it wouldn’t make sense.
SET-UP AND RE-SET:
It’s just an article that you show and so there is none.
SUITABLE VENUES:
Close-up, Walkaround, Internet
JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
This is quite a unique, pocket-sized effect that uses an old principle in a brilliantly creative way. It’s simple, direct, utterly baffling, and a very reasonably priced gem of a prop that you can stick in your wallet and add to your impromptu repertoire or act.
