Ken Dyne – E1 Prediction Revolution

“I rarely purchase effects, but the description resonated with my goals for 2013. After exploring E1, I can confidently say it’s a brilliantly clever principle, perfectly suited for large stage performances. A modified version will be featured in my upcoming show.” – Doug Segal, Winner of Best Cabaret Brighton Fringe 2012 and Three Weeks Editor’s Choice Award Edinburgh Fringe 2012. E1 has become a vital addition to my performances. It’s fair, offers free choices, and guarantees an outcome. It excels in close-up, cabaret, parlour, and stage settings. After inviting six audience members to write down “Any random word” on cards, these are handed to your on-stage participant. The charming young lady reviews the words, discarding any duplicates, and confirms, “They’re all different, right?”

“Please select one word secretly. This choice is crucial; it must be yours, made consciously from the options before you. Before you decide, I have a word in this envelope, and I hope to have influenced one of the six people to think of it. This choice is significant.” She makes her selection. “You’re quite clever. It’s simple, yet feels solid and failsafe—mechanical in execution but organic in delivery, with contemporary convincers.” – Phill Smith (Author of Mitox, Mentalist, and Consultant) Pay Attention: The word you reveal is the one printed inside the completely ungimmicked envelope, which can be handed out afterward. There’s nothing else inside, and her choice of words is entirely free.

1. The prediction is always the word inside the envelope; there are no additional revelations (like on the back of the envelope).
2. No secret writing is involved.
3. No dual reality, stooging, or pre-show work is necessary.
4. No secret loading or mechanical parts are used.
5. No pre-show work is required.
6. The envelope is not gimmicked.
7. No angle issues exist.
8. It functions beautifully as both a formal stage piece and a casual effect you can carry in your pocket.
9. The choice of word is completely free, with no procedures influencing her decision. She simply picks her favorite from the options, and your prediction aligns perfectly.
10. It’s adaptable for any language (the examples are in English but can be easily modified).

E1 introduces a groundbreaking approach to prediction methods that I’ve never encountered before.
