Positive Thinking by Dave Forrest

Inspired by a concept from Max Maven, this effect is a must-try for fans of mentalism. Be sure to also explore “Assertive Positive Negative” by Scott F. Guinn for more intriguing effects.

Effect: A folded business card, serving as your prediction, is placed on the table for all to see. Your spectator imagines three coins and selects one to toss, calling heads or tails. Let’s say they choose tails! When you reveal your prediction, it astonishingly matches both the coin’s denomination and the outcome of the toss!

Inspired by Max Maven’s “Positive/Negative,” this effect is the epitome of “packs small, plays big.” With just a small prop—half the size of a business card—this routine is incredibly easy to perform, making it perfect for on-the-go magic. The clarity of your final prediction will leave laypeople amazed, as you confidently demonstrate your foresight without any ambiguity. There are no switches, secret writings, or sleight of hand involved, ensuring you are always 100% accurate!

Positive Thinking works seamlessly with any currency and allows you to hand out a business card, making it a modern marvel in portable mentalism. At this price, it’s an unbeatable deal!
