“Predicto!” is the revelation of a chosen superhero.  In fact, the name “Predicto!” is the name for a ficticious superheo who can predict the future.

The performer shows a stack of some 20 different popular superheroes such as The Hulk, Batman, Black Panther, Catwoman, Captain America, and others.  The cards do not contain the actual pictures of the superheroes, but only their names written in child-like handwriting.

A spectator chooses one superhero while the performer’s head is turned away.

The performer says that he used to think of himself as a superhero who can read minds and predict the future.  He calls him “Predicto!”

He refers to an envelope that is on the table all the time.  He says he has predicted what superhero the spectator will select.

He takes out Spider-Man, but it is not the spectator’s selected superheo.  He takes out a second card – it is The Flash.  Again this is not the spectator’s card.  the third card is also not the correct selected card.  The performer says that the fourth card will be the spectator’s card, but it is still not the correct one.

He asks for the name of the spectato’s chosen superhero.   Upon hearing “Wonder Woman”, the performer says he is never wrong.  He turns each of the 4 “wrong” cards over and they form a large picture of a hand drawn Wonder Woman.

You receive all the necessary cards, a prediction envelope, and a link to a video tutorial.  You are provided with 2 predictions: Wonder Woman and Spider-Man.  You are supplied with the large picture of Wonder Woman and Spider-Man.  You have to cut the large card into quarters and write the names of 4 different superheroes on the backs of the 4 cards.  This is straight-forward and nothing difficult.

What makes the effect attractive is the hand-written names of the superheroes and the hand-drawn picture of the predicted superhero.  All other superhero tricks will consist of cards depicting the actual pictures of the superheroes.

There is another version of Predicto! Involving scarry movie characters such as The Mummy, Godzilla and Jaws.  (Rated 4/5 stars)
