Now spell out your zodiac sign using the same procedure.
Bring out the hand that is now closed. I want you to squeeze
your fist tightly before you open it to increase the blood flow.
Its easier for me to read your palm that way.
There is something that youre doing right now. Its slowly
developing into something that is going to change your life. It
might be a seed of an idea, or it might be something that
you've been working at for years. If you continue to work
hard and work smart, you will be able to handle the positive
change this will bring.
Focus on your zodiac sign. Imagine the lines of your hand
moving around, making letters. Now picture it spelling your
zodiac sign and let me see if I can read into your
imagination.
I think I'm seeing an O no sorry thats an A. Hmmm,
you are difficult to read so I would say youre an Aries.
---This was a basic walkthrough of what the effect would be
like in person if the participants hands were behind their
back. One could just as well use a pendulum or amulet in
the hands of the spectator and let them pass it from hand
to hand instead of closing and opening their fists.
This means one could also use technology or magnets that
sense where the object is without needing to ask if they've
switched hands or have the same hand closed. My goal
here is to be able to do this effect without a prop. No
electronics or gimmicks. I'd rather use the participants
imagination by having them imagine a glowing sphere of
energy in the hand thats closed. When appropriate, you
could even have the participant use a ring theyre wearing
Now lets choose the body. If your left hand is closed youll have
the body of a Tiger and if your right hand is closed youll have
the body of an Eagle.
Spell out your choice with your hands as before.
Lastly, lets make the head. If your left hand is closed youll have
the head of Fox and if your right hand is closed youll have the
head of an Owl.
Theyll end up with the legs of a Bear, body of a Tiger, and the
head of an Owl.
There are a few ways you could reveal this. You could
Photoshop an image of the combined animals parts or even
make a little wood carving of them. If the object is small
enough to fit in a little pouch, it could be used as the object
passing in their hands rather than making fists. This way the
prediction is in play the entire time. A folded printout would
work just as well.
Keep in mind that you can use any combination of animals as
long as you can map out where each fist will end up. Feel free
to customize it.
The other option is to reveal the meanings of the animal parts
they chose by tying them into a personality reading. You can
eventually describe the animal creation with a mind-to-mind
visualization exercise. If you search for Animal Totem on the
Internet you can find the symbolism behind each animal.
Final Thoughts
I wanted to present you with a variety of concepts to make
it a bit easier to find whats most suitable for your needs.
Create something new! Id love to see what you come up
with.
See the last page for a cheat sheet for the two effects that
need them. Feel free to print it out on photopaper or
cardstock to keep in your wallet and study or look at in
secret during your presentation.
Id also suggest printing out the strange Totem creature a
few pages back to use as the object that gets passed from
hand to hand.
Thank yous
Jim Steinmeyer for writing the Impuzzibilities series
(published by Hahne). He was kind enough to allow me to
work with his self-working magical concepts and share
them here..
My friend Colin McLeod who also uses which hand
techniques to force names of celebrities and other noncoin is in this hand concepts. He uses a completely
different method than explained in this eBook. Thank you
Colin for expanding on presentations for these types of
effects.
