.Place the four eliminated plaques in yourpocket getting rid of the evidence.Print the word "Murderer" on the last remainingplaque.State that if Charlie Chan is indeed a great detective, perhaps he has beenable to apprehend the murderer.The spectator is directed to turn over the plaqueand sure enough, there is good old Charlie Chan.Case solved.Naturally, any combination of names or items can be used with equal success suchas Adam and Eve, Scotch and Soda, Mental and Telepathy and so on.These arejust three of the many effects possible with Perplexing ESP Plaques.By only usingfour plaques and an Elmsley Count you can do a spirit writing effect.But don't letme spoil your fun.Invent away.And even if you don't, you've got three entertainingand baffling effects to add to your mental routine.26 World of Super Metalism, IPREDICT-A-MANIA IIIn Magick 112, Ed Marlo, using a variation of Henry Christ's Cut-deeper Forcedeveloped a two-card prediction.Feeling that perhaps the prediction of two cardsis redundant, I simply substituted a prediction of the number of cards the spectatorwould cut off the pack in lieu of the first card prediction.This further developmentof Marlo's Predict-a mania employs not only the cut-deeper force.but the one aheadprinciple as well.Here's how it works:EFFECTThe mentalist writes a prediction on a small slip of paper.crumples it into a balland drops it in a glass.The spectator shuffles the pack and proceeds to turn upa number of cards.The face-up cards are counted and the amount recorded.Thementalist then makes a second prediction that is likewise crumpled and droppedinto the glass along with the first prediction.The top card of the pack, which thespectator cut to is then turned face up and its identity recorded.Anyone then opensthe two predictions made by the mentalist.Both are 100% correct.Not only didthe mentalist predict the exact amount of cards the spectator would cut off thepack.but also the identity of the card the spectator cut to.METHODTo begin, have the spectator thoroughly shuffle the deck.Tell the spectator that youwant him to cut the pack.but in the manner, which you will demonstrate.Cut offa small packet of cards and turn them face up.Replace this face up packet on topof the deck.Explain that for the second cut, the spectator is to cut deeper into thedeck turning the entire packet that he has cut off, face up, and replace it on topof the deck.As if to demonstrate, you cut deeper and turn the entire packet overand place it on top.At this point, spread the cards and show the spectator that aportion of the deck is face up and the remainder, face down.As you say this, noteand remember the identity of the face up card next to the first face down card.Immediately turn all the face UP cards face down.This action will leave the cardyou noted on TOP of the pack.State that you will now make a prediction concerninghow many cards the spectator will turn face up.Jot down the name of the card younoted being careful not to let anyone see what you are writing.Immediately crumbleup the slip of paper and drop it in a glass on the table.Now, have the spectator cutoff a small packet of cards.turn it face up and replace it on top of the deck.Again,the spectator is instructed to cut the deck, this time cutting deeper into the pack.turn the packet face up.and return it to the top of the deck.Now have the spectator count off the number of cards that are face up aloud one ata time in a pile on the table.When he has finished counting.jot down the numberof face up cards on a slip of paper, just for the record.Leave the face up cards onthe table.The spectator should hold the balance of the deck.Now, state that you27 World of Super Metalism, Iwill make a second prediction concerning the identity of an unknown card thespectator has cut to.Take another slip of paper and write down the number ofcards the spectator turned face up.Naturally, you should not let anyone see whatyou have written.Crumple up the slip and drop it in the glass along with yourfirst impression.Have the spectator turn over the top face down card of the deck
