This effect is based on a Jim Steinmayer trick, published in his excellent book “Conjuring Anthology”. In spite of the substantial differences with the Jim Steinmayer trick, Quique Marduk asked Jim Steinmayer for his authorization to put his own version on the market, which was generously granted.
“I thank Jim for this, and highly recommend to read his excellent book.”
– Quique Marduk
Effect:
The magician asks three spectators to assist him and shows them three note pads with the usual slot machines drawings in them. An envelope with a prediction is also introduced.
Each assistant chooses one of the note pads and hangs it in front of his chest (using a cord attached to each pad).
The magician asks the first two spectators to place his left arm on the shoulder of the one beside him, and asks the third spectator to extend his left arm in the air mimicking a slot machine lever.
Next the magician will move the arm of the third spectator, as if it was a lever of a slot machine, and each one of the spectators open their note pads at any page using their right hand. Each pad will show a different slot machine icon.
The magician opens the envelope and the prediction matches each icon on the spectator’s note pads!
Very easy to do
Packs flat and plays really big
Great comedy mentalism act
