Fortune Teller Magic Trick

My routine with a folded paper fortune teller has been a stage trick for the summer. A couple of weeks ago I made one that’s for close up and I’m using it for a card trick.

One of the things I wanted to do was a multiple revelation of the selected card on the paper fortune teller.

The first revelation is the a basic, “this is your card”:

The second is a little bit bigger:

And the third is even bigger:

Logically if the first prediction hit, the next two are just the same thing, and really don’t add anything. In practice, when you keep revealing that card, the trick hits harder and harder each time. I don’t know why that is, but it works!

I’m having a blast with this trick!
