Open by Marcus Eddie (DVD + Gimmick)

One card. One box. One impossible prediction.

A blue-backed card is rubber-banded to the outside of a red card box. That’s your prediction. It stays in full view from the very beginning.

A spectator then freely names or selects any card from the red deck. No force. No fishing. No hesitation.

The deck goes back into the box.
You remove the single blue card.
And impossibly… it matches their exact selection.

It feels like real mind reading.

This is ultra-direct card magic with zero fluff and maximum impact. Marcus Eddie stripped away complicated moves and distracting handlings to create a version that looks impossibly fair and plays beautifully in the real world.

Why performers love this:

• Prediction in full view from the start
  
• Truly free selection (named or chosen)
  
• No table required — perfect for strolling
  
• Very easy to learn
  
• Instant, powerful payoff
  
• Clean “OPEN” method with unmatched fairness

There’s nothing to explain. Nothing to rewind. Just a single, crystal-clear moment of astonishment.

If you want a pure, elegant prediction that feels impossible and looks effortless, this one earns a permanent place in your working set.

"I love Open Predictions and "OPEN" will be one of my favorites from now on! It's smart, clear, and easy to do. The handling is so natural that he fooled me the 3 times that I repeated the trailer. OPEN is this kind of effect that I want to perform in my next show." -Marcelo "Tango" Insau

"SUPER Clever...I really like the way Marcus thinks." -Greg Rostami
