How about a prediction involving a lottery card? You bring out a lottery card and write down some numbers on the back of your business card. When the numbers are rubbed off of the ticket, your predictions are shown to be correct.
Scratch Off
With "Scratch and Grin," Andrew Gerard offers material to gimmick a lottery card so you can make it look as if it's just been purchased. Of course, beforehand, you've already rubbed off the original coatings to record the numbers.To perform this trick, you will have to produce a lottery card of your own and present it to spectators, unless you can find some way of swapping out one that a spectator is carrying around. Gerard doesn't offer instructions on how to do this.
Playing the Lottery
The booklet offers adequate instructions to learn and perform the trick. There are no moves - it's all in the preparation that occurs ahead of time, which is not difficult. As the ads state, this one relies on no electronics, magic gimmicks or switches and works with real lottery cards. The kit comes with gimmicks for some 20 performances.The only downside that I can see is that spectators will ask you to use your powers on other lottery cards. You'll have to figure out how to deal with these requests.
