Trick Review: 37 by Marc Oberon

Friday August 31, 2007
It's an offbeat mentalism effect that based on an equally offbeat idea. Marc Oberon takes the statistical "37" number force trick and combines it with a prop that covers all of the possibilities. While the effect is only decent, the prop is cool.

In "37," a folded slip of paper is shown and identified as a prediction. The slip is placed into an empty envelope and left in full view. With the usual coaching on the part of the magician in traditional "37" fashion, the spectator is asked to think of a two-digit number with certain convoluted requirements. When the spectator names a two-digit number, the prediction is removed and is shown to contain the named number.
