How to do a Five Object Mind Reading Trick

Video Transcript

"Hey everybody! Let me show you how to do the 5 object prediction. I already taught you the nuts and bolts of it, but I want to talk a little bit about changing up some of the presentational ideas. Now, before when I did the coin thing, I just wrote on an index card and folded it. You will select a quarter and that happen. In this case, I've taken an envelope and written the word prediction on it. Not very neatly, but I've written on there. Instead of writing it on a card. I knew I was going to force the rubber bands, so I took some other rubber bands and I stuck them in the envelope. That's kind of a little more unusual and off beat and no one's expecting rubber bands to be in an envelope. Now, one thing I should mention too is here I got a quarter and a dollar bill. If I was going to do this in an office, I would probably change out the dollar bill for something else like a stapler or a paper clip or something like that so you didn't have 2 objects that were money. That's just a little fine point. In this case, it doesn't matter too much but that's just a little point you should keep in mind. Now, we're going to force the rubber band. Just like we did before, we're going to have our friend point to 2 objects. So he'll come in and point to 2. He's pointing to these 2 so we're going to get rid of them Now, I'm going to have him push one of the objects toward me, and he's pushing the quarter toward me. I'll have him pick one object up in his hand. He's picking up the rubber band, so we'll eliminate the dollar bill. Now, this is really cool because I can well see you picked the rubber band and the prediction had a bunch of rubber bands in the envelope, and you can dump those out. If you wanted to predict the dollar bill, you could have another dollar bill in there. You can have a little cup with a bunch of change in it. You can have a set of markers with the blue one missing. You could have something wrapped up in all kinds of blue tape. Come up with some other ideas on how to present your predictions and that'll sort of give your magic a little bit of polish and presentation. Just because you're in the office doesn't mean you can't do a professional quality trick."
