Anybody had any experience with Gilligans Prediction. Is it as good as the blurb?

It is very nice, but I do not use it for a 52 card choice. Rather I use for a continent choice. It is very clever and nicely designed.

A quick search returned this result...

maybe this is just me but i always just thought of this as.......force a card and have a little prediction in a wee bottle handy............i dont own it so do reserve judgement but its just my thought on this

I look at it this way: a small bottle with a message that always contains the participant's choice..linked with Doug Higley's 3 No Evil and Mental Safari and you have a nice golden age of travel routine....

By the way, there is no card force!!!

Dear Dr you are the man when it comes to things like this......i didnt realise there was no force. That may be quite elegant then (im a bit curious now lol)

It really is cool, even though I prefer a different routine with a different revelation....very clever indeed...

I don't see quite how it can be a "Forced" card as the demo clearly shows the spect speaking his choice and I presume he has not been prepared in any way.!!

It is not forced, as I said in my post. For the card presentation, the spectator has the full and free choice of all 52.

It is a nice little effect, not everyone agrees though.

Thank you all very much for your replies.
Weighing it all up I think I will give this one a miss. I beleive I know how it is done, It is very clever but i think it requies more dexterity then I have. and I have an idea that you have to be dressed in a certain way.
