Fourtunate

Fourtunate

A circle is drawn on the cellophane of a card box. The circle is shown to your spectator. In this circle, you draw one card; this card will be your SECRET PREDICTION.

The deck is removed from the card case. The case is placed face down to one side.

The cards are dealt FACE UP one at a time. Your spectator is asked to stop on ANY CARD they like. They really can stop ANYWHERE. The card box is flipped over. Drawn, smack bang in the middle of the circle is the exact card they STOPPED ON.

This sounds too good to be true. It gets better.

RESETS IN 2 SECONDS.

CAN BE REPEATED WITH A DIFFERENT OUTCOME.

SELF-WORKING.

BRILLIANT METHOD.

FOURTUNATE is a self-contained, little miracle

I read the reviews on the Magic Cafe, watched a video review... I don’t know, I find this effect a bit cheesy.

I saw a turning move on the video, I mean the guy turned with his thumb on the card case...

But I think specs will love it.

It's not sleight of hand, rather "slide of thumb". It is pretty expensive for what it is, but due to the very limited number of outcomes, you can't really show it to the same audience more than once.

That said, for someone that does table hopping it is probably quite good.

I know how it works and it is a nice fooler but as usual a bit priicy ...

Yes, you can not show it to the same people but later with new outcomes
