WINNING NUMBERS (Pro-Series Vol 1) - A Stand-Up Mentalism Routine by Paul Romhany
Let’s face it, predicting raffle ticket numbers chosen at random is a classic. It’s been around since the days when magicians wore top hats and tails. You might remember how it was all laid out in 13 Steps to Mentalism, but unless you had an offstage assistant stashed somewhere (which, let’s be honest, can be a logistical nightmare), it was a tough gig. Enter Paul Romhany, who’s been fine-tuning his own version of this delightful effect for the last two decades, minus the need for a secret helper.
This one-person routine is as easy as pie—if pie had a bit of mentalism sprinkled on top. Paul’s methods are crafted from real-world performances (no theory here, folks), making it a breeze to slot into your act. Seriously, you could be performing this by tomorrow.
Paul lays out THREE killer versions of this routine that he’s been rocking on cruise ships, private gigs, and trade shows. Plus, you get bonus insights from Wayne Rogers and TC Tahoe, who both decided to make Winning Numbers part of their own routines. Talk about high praise!
Effect One: You hand a prediction to an audience member at the start of the show. At any point later, a bowl with two hundred tickets is passed around, and three spectators each pick a ticket. When the prediction is revealed, the winning numbers? Yep, they match the tickets chosen. Cue the applause!
Effect Two: A prediction containing three raffle tickets is given to an audience member to hold onto (they’ll feel important!). Then, a bowl of tickets is distributed, and three different audience members each grab a ticket. You guessed it—the prediction tickets match the random picks. It’s like magic lottery winning, but without the taxes.
Effect Three: Picture this: a large envelope dangling on stage. A bowl of raffle tickets makes its rounds, with five lucky audience members each pulling one out. The envelope is opened by a volunteer, and lo and behold, a big piece of paper lists the winning numbers that exactly match the chosen tickets. It’s a crowd-pleaser that’ll have them scratching their heads!
