A Toy Prediction by Nikolas Mavresis (video)

You begin by introducing a small packet of vintage toy cards – classic toys we all grew up with and explain that you found these cards in a quaint novelty shop, and they brought back memories of simpler times when toys defined our childhood.

For the first phase, you spread the cards face down and invite the spectator to freely select any toy card. There’s no forcing or influencing-the choice is entirely theirs. After a brief moment, you casually reveal the exact toy they’re thinking of with complete accuracy-no questions asked, no fishing. It’s as if you plucked the memory of that toy right from their mind.

Then comes the second phase. You mention that before the trick even began, you had a strong feeling about which toy the spectator would choose. You show a small, playful prediction that’s been in full view the whole time. To their amazement, it perfectly matches the toy they selected.
