This adapted version of Intuitous is based on accounts of Thomas Baxter's effect 'A Dianoetic Rage' and was created in collaboration with Amanda Nym. I don't want to get into the debate of whether or not ADR was real or a hoax, I have my own opinions and reasoning and I'll allow everyone else to reach their own conclusions. But what I will say, like I've always said, it is possible, and here it is... This is the perfect parlour version, ideal for a small group but could be adapted for stage performance and involves no stooges/instant stooges. A new sealed deck is selected, the dealer is randomly chosen, the cards are examined, the magician does not touch the cards at any time, the plot of Open Prediction/51 Faces North is explained to all (including the conditions), a prediction is made openly, the dealing starts, one card is left face down, the dealing concludes, the card is revealed, the miracle is complete! The holy grail?!? Of course not, the holy grail...
The first of many releases from the Intuitous Project... An original solution the classic Open Prediction plot or 'the Curry Unsolved Card Problem'. This is a homage to Paul Curry and Stewart James, with a respectful nod to other solutions or variations created over the years. This version involves no stooging/instant stooging and can be done with a borrowed deck (or borrowed decks) I would also argue it meets all the "conditions" of Open Prediction but then again I don't really believe in conditions for magic tricks - conditions are for scientific experiments! Magic tricks are deceitful by nature...
