From Michael Close's review in Magic Magazine ...
"Psychic Cents is a prediction trick in which two spectators guess the amount of change in a small change envelope. When the change is dumped out and counted it is discovered that the spectators' guess is two cents under the actual amount. The magician withdraws a small card from the pay envelope. Its says 'IOU two cents.' The envelope is completely empty and may be examined.
This is a very clever trick and fooled me the first time I saw it. It's perfect for walk around magic and resets quickly."
Originally released in the mid-nineties, it received great reviews (Mike Close, Doc Eason) and found its way into the working repertoires of hundreds of performers.
The Effect:
The Wonder Worker (that's you) brings out a small business card wallet containing an envelope with some pocket change in it. Each spectator is asked to name a number between one and nine. One says "five." The other says "four." The envelope is emptied into the spectator's hands and is seen to contain fifty-TWO cents. The audience is less than impressed. The performer was two cents off. He then takes an I.O.U. from the envelope which reads "I.O.U. two cents." The envelope is now empty. And the crowd goes wild ...
Points to remember:
Easy to do
No nail writers
(In fact, there's no writing of any kind during the effect.
The IOU is in the envelope and completely written before
the effect begins.)
Resets quickly
It's not a card trick
(Not that
there's anything wrong with that.)
