Marc Oberon’s 37 Working The effect is made possible by carefully worded patter which forces one of seven numbers, and seven ‘outs’ thout fail which make the prediction correct w You are supplied with a double-walled envelope containing the seven possible numbers written on slips of paper. These are 15 the numbers 13, 31; 15, 35; 19, 39 and 37. You'll notice that the first six of these ,, hilulll numbers can be paired, where the first 31: 33 number of each pair is a ‘teen’ and the second a larger number corresponding to its, pair. It is then easy to remember the order in this way. These predictions are placed paired into the double-walled envelope in a way which makes it possible to remove the correct one smoothly and without hesitation. The middle pair has been cut slightly longer than the others. This means it's very easy to grasp any pair of predictions required. Then, by gripping the pair with the forefinger and thumb, you can pull up with either the finger or the thumb to remove the correct slip of paper. 37, is placed alone in the other side of the you're ready to perform. This side of the uld be marked for easy identification later —---__ Presentation This patter is based on a very old force of a number ich relied on the fact that most people name the number 37. This presentation makes the entire thing sure-fire, Written on this piece of paper, there's a two-digit number under 50. 1. First display the folded slip of Paper (with 37 written inside) and display the otherwise empty envelope. Then replace the prediction and leave the envelope in view. Both digits are odd numbers and they're both different from each other. So it couldn't be 11; it could be 17. What do you think it is? 2. This narrows the range down to just seven numbers. ‘The examples serve two purposes. Firstly, they eliminate the number 17 as this is the number you used in the example. Secondly, they clarify the previous statement. 3. To finish, it's now a simple matter of removing the Correct out using the technique mentioned earlier
