Ever since Martin Gardner came up with a basic strategy to predict the outcome of a game of tic-tac-toe, numerous versions of magic involving tic-tac-toe became available in the market.

There are impromptu versions using pen and paper, and large versions for stage performances using acrylic and magnets.  There are versions that involve the completed game to reveal a picture or message when the entire pieces are turned over.

This version is made of wood and is approximately 6 inches square.  This makes your prop very visual for close-up performances and the prop looks elegant and professional.

In effect, the performer plays a game of tic-tac-toe with a spectator.  The game turns out to be a draw.  This is predicted by a wooden prediction slab.  When the container of the tic-tac-toe is turned over, it depicts the exact layout of the played “X” and “O” pieces!

You receive everything you need to perform this effect in a nice wooden box.  They are all made of wood, including the prediction slab.  You are given a link to a 12 minutes video tutorial where Randy Goodman performs and explains everything.

There are no complicated memory needed.  You only need to remember a couple of very easy strategy moves.

Properly presented, the effect to the audience is truly astounding, as they believe there are numerous outcomes of a completed game.  (Rated 5/5 stars)
