Time Ahead

Perhaps one of the most baffling and perfect triple-prediction effects ever created! Two decks of cards, a red deck and a blue deck, are displayed. A member of the audience selects one of the two decks (letÆs assume the red one is chosen).After showing the faces of the blue deck, the performer selects three blue cards as ôpredictions.ö Without showing them to the audience, he places them, one at a time, onto three points of a six pointed clear star, the backs facing the audience. The volunteer selects three cards from the face-up red deck. The performer places these cards on the remaining points of the star, faces towards the audience. The six cards are in alternating order: blue back, red face, etc. The performer spins the star and turns it around so that the faces of the blue predictions and the backs of the red cards are facing the audience. When the star stops moving, the values of the prediction cards are exposed. They match the other three freely chosen cards.
