As you explain, you proceed and hand a spectator a felt tip pen and a piece of tissue paper with the request that he will either write a number upon it if he is a business type person, or a letter if he is more of romantic. You then ask him to show the audience what he has written. When he has done this, you tell him to crumple the piece of tissue paper and place it in an ashtray. You then hand him a box of matches (or a lighter) and ask him to burn the paper until it turns to nothing but burnt ashes. You then proceed and reach into the ashes. You gather the burnt ashes and slowly sprinkle them up on the back of you hand. As you Brush off the ashes, slowly and visible, whatever the spectator wrote appears written in ashes on the back of your hand.
The very latest from Devin Knight's Psychic-Sight series. The first was Farsight and was a runaway hit. Now comes Blindsight.
Performer patters that Blindsight is the apparent ability to see colors and shapes which cannot be seen. You offer a simple experiment. You introduce 4 ungimmicked colored cards: Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow. These in turn are sealed into 4 opaque envelopes and mixed so that the spectator doesn't know which color is in which envelope. You ask him to point to any envelope. Free choice, no magician's force of any kind. You hold it up and ask him what color he thinks is inside. Assume he says Blue. You write "Blue" on the envelope. This is repeated 3 more times with the person freely pointing to any of the remaining envelopes. Each time he states the color he thinks is inside and the performer writes it on the envelope.
Performer fans the envelopes out allowing the person to see the names written on each envelope. Magician states he only needs three envelopes for the first part and for the person to remove one envelope and place it off to the side. Let's assume he discards the envelope with the word Yellow written on it.
The other three envelopes are opened one at a time, the spectator has correctly guess what colors were in each envelope. This is pretty amazing in itself but the kicker is still to come.
Magician says nobody could have known what envelope the spectator would discard off to the side. The spectator, NOT THE MAGICIAN, picks up this envelope and opens it. Of course the correct color card is in it, but wait; there is a slip of paper in it and it reads: "THE YELLOW ENVELOPE WILL BE THE ONE YOU DISCARD!"
The magician can then show the other envelopes are empty, in fact all the envelopes can be examined.
Here are the facts:
The choices are completely free. As clean as it gets. The handling is designed in such a way that spectators and magicians will be unable to backtrack and discover the method.
Another reputation maker that is priced way too low. Complete with color cards, envelopes, marker and all needed gimmicks to make this work.

The magician removes a small, clear plastic disc from a drawstring bag which has large, bright red spots on both sides. After clearly showing the disc on both sides, he covers it for a moment with his empty hand and the two red spots change to green and he immediately shows both hands empty!
Again the disc is briefly covered and the green spots have now changed to yellow! Now, instead of covering the disc, the magician simply taps one side with the very end of his finger and one of the spots changes back to green!
The performer then places the disc into his left hand, clearly showing the green side on top before closing his hand. When he opens his hand, the yellow side is up! Closing his hand again, the performer asks the audience which color is up now and no matter what their response, he opens his hand to reveal the disc now has a black spot on top!
The performer offers to perform the effect one last time and closes his fist around the disc. When he opens his hand the disc has completely vanished, only to reappear back inside the small bag on the table!
The disc is again tapped with the end of one finger and both spots change to white! The performer then places the disc onto the table for examination by the audience, but the only thing they discover is a large, gold question mark on one of the spots!
Comes complete with the necessary gimmicks, drawstring bag and detailed instructions.

Mention that there's a new counterfeiting ring in the area, and boy are they dumb. They're counterfeiting PENNIES! Ask to borrow a penny and take a close look at it. Yup, it's a counterfeit! How do you know? Hold a magnifying glass over it, and the penny grows to twice it's normal size. See, you say, you can see it's larger than a normal penny. When they don't believe you, remove he magnifying glass and the penny is now permanently the size of a HALF DOLLAR!
Ask them not to stare at the penny too long, 'cause the longer they stare at it, THE BIGGER IT GETS!! The half-dollar size penny instantly and magically morphs into a 3" jumbo penny!

An experiment is conducted to find the relationship between chance and choice.
A deck of cards is fairly shown. After briefly shuffling the deck, half is given to a spectator, who again shuffles them and then begins to deal them into a small pile. The spectator is instructed to stop dealing by chance whenever she likes. The magician shuffles his half and allows the spectator to make a free choice from the face up cards. This chosen card is placed face up onto the spectator's pile.
Now this same procedure is repeated twice more for the sake of scientific consistency. When the piles are examined it is found that the card stopped at by chance in every case is the exact mate of the card selected by choice!
