Mental Safari Deluxe by Magic Wagon: 2011

Description

Special thanks to Mr. Tony Curtis for coming up with the name of this effect.

A small wooden box is displayed and opened revealing a tray containing four different plaques each depicting the head of a wild animal. The performer then removes the tray and shows that the box is clearly empty. A velvet bag containing a prediction is then placed inside the box and the tray is replaced. Now, the spectator is asked to freely select her favorite wild animal and then write down the Reference Number beneath the plaque. The performer now lifts the tray and clearly shows the velvet bag that was previously placed inside the box. The prediction is now removed by the spectator and read out aloud. Amazingly, the prediction matches the animal plaque chosen including its reference number!

The box measures 11cms square by 7cms high and completely hand-crafted the old fashioned way using natural aged teak logs with a lightly distressed antique finish.
