EFFECT:
The effect in their eyes is as follows: A spectators freely select a sport and 2 others weather conditions. One of three bags each of which contains a different weather outfit hoping that the bag selected contains the appropriate outfit to be worn for the weather conditions that were freely selected previously is selected. Prior to the effect a CD was shown and said to contain a weather forecast alert and is inserted into a regular CD player and is left on stage.

When the CD is played by a spectator after the three spectators have made their free selections, the CD correctly announces and accurately predicted the exact sport that one of the spectator's freely selected and the exact weather conditions as well. Then the paper bag that as freely selected by a third spectator is opened. It is shown to contain the appropriate weather outfit that needs to be worn ie. a raincoat for a rainy day, whereas the other bags are opened to show that they contain sunglasses and other apparel not suited for the weather conditions freely selected by the spectator and played on the CD.

PRICE AND PROPS:

Ok, I'll be honest with you. Brand new it is not cheap.
You can pick it up used for about $30
New, I paid $60...
Worth every penny of it
You get everything necessary to accomplish this effect (cards, changebags), including a raincoat and a professionally made CD except a CD player and an erasable board to write down the spectator's choices on. You'll have to provide other items to put in the bags not chosen like sunglasses, suntan lotion, ski mask ect...
As with every Knight product, you get very detailed instructions.

DIFFICULTY:
This effect is all about presentation. Except for the sport force, it is basically self working.
There are several methods used, most some have been used before and one has not. Every move, technique and nuiance is described.

OVERALL:

It involves two interesting and fun topics that most spectators are interested in: sports and weather. Mr. Knight combines thee two topics to create a very enjoyable and interactive routine. That is the true value.

It is not a difficult effect to learn or to master.

As mentioned in a prevoius post, this is one of the three mentalism closers in my set. I can tell you the sport MOST of the time can be freely named. It is not 100% sure fire, but of course, there is a plan B.
I did change the process for how the two spectators come up with the weather prediction.
