question about a trick i have seen

Looking on youtube there is a video with darren brown and richard and dudy he predicts something puts it in a envolope then gives it her to open and find out that his prediction is right. I have seen some techniques in the 13 steps book of how i think he does it but with the way i think you wouldnt be able to give her the envilope as it would give away the secret not sure how he is doing this

ok.... one tip. Dont try to work out how Derren does it, try to work out how you can do it.
With 13 steps, and annemman's practical mental magic, you will have all the basics you will need.

the rest is presentation.

you're like Yoda.you dont say much, but what you do say is worth listening to....

Heres another tip, forget what Dale said (no disrespect to Dale), honestly there are MORE than enough folk copying Derrens effects and presentations. Watch his performances and use them as inspiration, and learn from his presentations and showmanship. By all means try to work them out, as magicians it is part of what we do. Then use what you have learned to create your own wonderful effects :)
