Back in 1949, a clever chap named Paul Curry threw down a challenge with a card trick that had everyone scratching their heads. What became known as The Curry Unsolved Card Problem left mentalists and magicians alike pondering for decades (and probably losing a few nights’ sleep over it).
Fast forward nearly 60 years, and we’ve got The Open Prediction Project—a treasure trove stuffed with 51 brilliant and downright creative solutions to the Open Prediction conundrum. This isn't just any old collection; it’s the biggest one out there! You’ll find gems from the likes of Marc Paul, Michael Weber, Barrie Richardson, Patrick Redford, Mick Ayres, and Hector Chadwick, among many others who’ve sprinkled their magic dust on this 296-page hardcover goldmine.
But wait, there's more! The Open Prediction Project doesn’t just throw solutions at you; it also dives into the juicy history of the Open Prediction effect, giving you the lowdown on the legends behind the legend. Plus, there’s an extensive appendix listing all the variations of the Open Prediction that have popped up over the years. (Because who doesn’t love a good list?)
Written and edited by the ever-talented Thomas Baxter—yes, the same genius behind The Nail Writer Anthology and A Card Merely Thought Of…
