A Dicey Book - The Effect

In this easy magic trick, you bring out a sealed envelope and explain that inside, there is a prediction. You give the envelope to an audience member for safe-keeping, or you lay it on the table in plain site so everyone can keep their eyes on it.

You bring out a pair of dice. You ask an audience member to roll the dice and add up the numbers on the top and bottom to come up with a number.

You hand your spectator a book and ask them to go to the page with the number that has just been rolled, and ask the spectator to read out loud the very first word on the page. When the spectator opens the envelope, he or she finds that you have written the very word that was read on the page in the book.
