To-Do Voodoo by Rick Lax (Instant Download)

Experience the impossible with this straightforward mind reading effect—no fishing or equivocation required.

To-Do Voodoo is a must-have for any mentalist. It’s compact and easy to carry, making it ideal for on-the-go performances. Here’s how it works: “Yesterday was one of those hectic days—I made a list.” You reveal a numbered list of ten tasks from your wallet, showcasing items like “do laundry, hit the gym, email my mom”. Ask your spectator to think of a number between one and ten and visualize completing the corresponding chore. “Picture yourself really doing that task,” you instruct. Then, without any fishing or equivocation, you reveal the exact chore they were thinking of. If they want to see it again, it’s easy—just have them choose a different number, and you’ll guess that task effortlessly too.

To-Do Voodoo is a brilliant evolution of the classic iPhone list prediction by Daniel Garcia, building on the foundational work of Bill Goldman and Ned Rutledge. With this effect, you can perform genuine mind reading without the complications of odd/even numbers.
