Predicshuns by Roddy McGhie

Sweet. Sneaky. Unforgettable.

Predicshuns by Roddy McGhie is one of those rare prediction effects that feels both heartwarming and mind-blowing at the same time. It wraps a razor-sharp method inside a charming story… and then hits your audience with a perfect, impossible finish.

It’s clever magic with a big smile on its face.

Here’s the moment that melts minds:
You introduce an envelope filled with playing cards—each one lovingly drawn by a child. You explain that these drawings were made for specific people. One special card is set aside face down, because you believe it was drawn just for your participant.

Then the magic gets bold.

Your spectator freely names any card in the deck.
No fishing. No narrowing it down. No funny business.

You remove the named card from the deck.
You turn over the child’s mystery drawing.

They match. Exactly.

It’s clean. It’s clear. And it feels utterly impossible.

Why performers fall in love with Predicshuns:

• Any card is freely named
• No force, no equivocation
• Instant reset
• Everything is self-contained
• Plays big but packs flat
• Perfect for close-up, parlor, or strolling

The specially designed deck and prediction cards do all the heavy lifting, letting you focus on presentation and connection. And the hand-drawn prediction cards—created by Roddy’s daughter—add a layer of warmth and authenticity that instantly disarms your audience.

Predicshuns was a breakout hit at Blackpool, and it’s easy to see why. It’s quirky, charming, and quietly devastating in the best way.

Whether this is your first Roddy McGhie effect or you’re a longtime fan, this one feels like a secret weapon—an opener that pulls people in and leaves them stunned.

Simple. Personal. Disarmingly clever.
