Jared Kopf – Vaticinium Ex Eventu 

Vaticinium ex Eventu is a collection of three effects from the ingenious and unique mind of Jared Kopf. In it’s entirety, the book presents an argument for why the Object to Impossible Location plot should be framed as a prediction effect. As a result, you receive a wonderful balance of Jared’s very strong theory, and three high impact effects which put his theories into practice.

The Card in the Envelope – Under incredibly fair and open conditions, three audience members ‘create’ a playing card. Somehow, this is shown to have been known in advance when the card is missing from the deck and found in an envelope which the SPECTATOR tears open.

Steal this Trick – A mystery with the English language. Explaining your love for language, you mention that you have noted down some of your favourite sentences on the back of a business card. You proceed to have three words named by different participants. Unsurprisingly, they create a very odd sounding sentence. However, in a surprise turn of events, when you remove your business card once more, written very clearly is an exact prediction of the sentence. Not only that, it is shown to have been plagiarised from a James Joyce novel, thus raising the question, “is there really anything new under the sun?”.

The Oneiromancer’s Index – Demonstrate an uncanny ability to reveal a persons innermost fears as you predict a randomly selected person’s nightmare!
