Headline Countdown is so powerful that when Al Koran performed it on the Ed Sullivan Show, he was hailed as the world’s greatest mind reader. This stunning prediction will leave your audience in awe. Here’s how it works: The performer hands a sealed envelope to an audience member before the trick begins. A single sheet of newspaper is introduced and torn into small pieces, which are gathered into a pile. The audience member names a number between one and the total number of pieces, and those pieces are counted down to the chosen number. The piece at that number is handed to the audience member for examination. When asked what stands out on the newspaper piece, it perfectly matches the prediction in the envelope.

The brilliance of this method lies in its simplicity. There are no switches or hidden flaps in the envelope; it remains in the spectator’s possession from the start. No complicated gimmicks or arts and crafts are needed to achieve this effect. Headline Countdown is a show-stopping prediction that is as easy to perform as it is astonishing. With just a sheet of newspaper and an envelope, you’ll be predicting headlines effortlessly.
