OPEN PREDICTION BIBLIOGRAPHY Version #1 Ayres, Mick Predictabilities © 2006 by Mick Ayres p 6 Fate From a shuffled deck, a single card is removed and openly shown to the audience. The cards are dealt face up and the performer is stopped by a guest at any other card, which is fairly selected. When revealed, it is the same color and value as the prediction card; this effect does not meet all the stipulations Paul Curry put forth in his well-known Open Prediction challenge (it‟s not the spectator who deals the cards face up on to the table). Nonetheless, with little effort Fate hits the target pretty close to the bulls-eye.

Bilis, Bernard - Card College Vol 3 ©1994 by Roberto Giobbi © 1998 for the English translation Published by Hermetic Press, p 733 The Open Prediction uses Al Leech Negative Misdirection concept (not credited) and Paul Le Paul Palm Reverse. This version actually makes practical the imprecise Gerald Kosky‟s initial intuition. The prediction is indeed open being marked on a Post It Note or similar. The spectator does shuffle the deck himself and, without the performer touching the shuffled deck, deals the cards face up leaving any card that he chooses face down and keeps dealing to the end of the deck: the predicted card is the only one that didn‟t show up (Al Leech negative misdirection). Opening the face up cards, the face down card is out-jogged and tabled (Paul Le Paul Palm Reverse duly credited). The spectator turns it face up himself and it indeed matches the prediction. - DVD Génération Bilis (first DVD) Binarelli, Tony Class Act © by Gary Ouellet, Truly Ultimate Open Prediction, is fully explained, and is virtually self- working Bloom, Gaëtan Open Prédiction (special Bicycle deck included) Bossi, Vanni Las Vegas Lecture © 2005 by Vanni Bossi Selfpublished, p 29 V.B.'s Very Open Prediction Callahan Jim & Ayres, Mick In Plain Sight, © 2007 by Mick Ayres.

Magician Paul Curry proposed an effect with playing cards that seemed impossible. Despite the best efforts of the top magicians of his day, the effect became known as The Curry Unsolved Card Problem. For more than 60 years, mentalists and magicians have wracked their brains, trying to find the perfect solution for Curry‟s challenge, now known as The Open Prediction. - Special Effects ©1977 by Paul Curry p 42 The Open Prediction Cummins, Paul From a Shuffled Deck in Use (Fasdiu 1) Open Prediction & From a Shuffled Deck in Use...

To date Peter has not seen a solution which complies with every one of the conditions laid down by Stewart James. That he already has the method on which the stringent conditions are founded, it therefore seems meaningless to feel happy with a solution that fails to meet all the requirements. All Peter is prepared to say about the following solution is that it does meet every one of the conditions laid down by Mr. James, and the method could be construed as a “new angle on a known principle" & Card Conspiracy Vol. 1 © 2003 by Peter Duffie with Robin Robertson, p 59 S.

This is another open prediction, but this time the card is face up throughout the counting of the deck. At any time (no forcing), spectator can say stop and that card is revealed to be the mate of the prediction. The effect looks very clean, and having a prediction face up is a nice change. The trick is not very technically demanding: the sleight is easy, but does require some good timing.

The magician makes an open prediction by setting one card to the side, face up. Someone rolls three dice and deals the number of cards indicated by the dice. The last card dealt matches the prediction card Guglielmi, Tommaso - Open Prediction The magician begins by placing a face up card (for example the King of Diamonds) onto the table for all to see and claims that it is a prediction. Next the magician introduces a deck of cards, which can be shuffled, and asks the spectator to deal out, one by one, the cards face up onto the table with the deck held face down. The magician then instructs that at any point in the dealing process, the spectator is to stop and deal a card face down onto the pile. Once the rest of the cards are dealt face up on top of the face down card, the King of Diamonds has not been seen yet, and the card dealt face down is shown to match the prediction - Criminal Induction : unpublished Hartman, Jerry K.
