You

way
to keep

It
is affixed
to a particul

Although,
in
the light
or
reason it
makes little
se
nse, thi
s
is
a
strong
point in the minds
of
Ute
audie
nce.
The way the predic
tion is
worded
does two very important
things.
It
break
s
tip
the
structure of
th
e se
nten
ce so
the altering words don
't
a
ppear
at the
beginnin
g or
end
of
Ute sente
nce,
a.
d it makes
it
see
m
as if the
add
ed
information
is
part
of the
n
prediction!
¥
ou
'
ll
get credit
for writing a detai
led
prediction, whe
n
ac
tua lly the
added
information
is
NOT
part
of
the
predi
ction
.
T
he
linking word
«and"
combines
the
pred
iction of
th
e choice with Ute
predicti
on
abo
ut the
subj
ects
future
.
Th
is is
VERY
strong
as
we
ll
as
con
vincing. Naming the
ca
rd
in
the
prediction
s
ugges ts
to
the
subject
's
subconscious
that any
card
could
huve been

a

the pred
icti
on

n
before the thr
ee cards
were taken

Hav
in g the
predi
cti on
written
on
om
a
separate
piece
of
paper
and
sealed
to

'
s
back
sa
ys
that the predi
cti
ons
were
written
first
and
the card
gotten to

the
pred
icti
ons!
Thi
s
psycho
logical
ploy
sells
m
the trick
much
harder
UH
if
The verb
in
each
message is
differe
nt al
so.
"Cheese", "eelect
"
and
"
pick"
imply that each
stateme
nt is unique
and cannot
be
altered
,
However,
U1CY
all
mean
, of
course,
the
same
thing.
T
h way
the
cards
are nam
ed in
the
pred
ict ion
is
importan
t
too.
e
In
one
prediction,
only
the
suit
is
named.
In
another,
only the
value
is
re
vealed
.
In
the
third

iction both the
suit
und
value are
nam
ed
,
Ther
e
is
also a
built in
th
eatri
cal
pace
in this trick
.
TIle first predicti

comical
to the
