Hey everyone. Im nineteen and been interested in and practicing magic on and off since I was twelve years old. I've learnt a lot in that time and recently become more interested in the mentalism side of magic. I've been performing a basic mind reading number routine recently using a vernet thumb writer (boon type). I'm sure you know what I'm talking about (it involves a notepad, and asking the spectator what number they chose after you ''apparently'' wrote a prediction down).
I was wondering if there are any ways or tricks out there which allow you to perform the same kind of mind reading act but the other way round. Like maybe with the effect of the spectator writing a prediction number down instead of me and me divining it or appearing to read her mind and seemingly read her mind without the use of a notepad on my part?
The reason I asked is because people have recently started to ask me to do exactly that, and I've had to make up numerous excuses to get out of it. Some of them even worked out the theory that I wrote their chosen number down after they had told me what number they chose!
Any ideas/help will be greatly appreciated!
Regards
