Convince your audience you can see into the future with this super strong multiple prediction.
"Window to the Future" by FISM-winner Henry Evans starts with a prediction placed inside a clear glass. You then introduce a deck of cards with a totally different colored back and allow the spectator to take about half the deck and shuffle it.
This shuffled half is then split up into packets with different amounts of playing cards in each. They are allowed to shuffle all these packets separately and then choose one. The final selected packed is then shuffled.
Everything is super fair. So, what happens next truly feels impossible.
You show that your prediction was not only correct about the amount of cards they would choose, but also has the exact same cards in the exact order. A perfect prediction.
What a great trick! When I saw the demo, I was impressed. I had no idea how it was done. Now that I know how it's done, I feel like it's so simple that anyone watching me perform it must be able to catch on- but that's not true. The spectators are exactly in the same mindset I was in BEFORE I learned it, so they ain't figuring it out. But most importantly, this trick taught me an important principle that I did not know before regarding a spectator's riffle shuffle (or your own riffle shuffle) and being able to maintain the cards exactly the way you want. There are absolutely no sleights in this trick. The riffle shuffle is a regular riffle shuffle. You just take s small stack of cards, shuffle them up, split them into piles, and let the spectator freely discard one pile at a time. There are no forces. The last remaining pile will match the prediction.
