Mental Tape Board by Evgeny Gorlanov

Mental Tape Board is a powerful and versatile prediction system for modern mentalists and magicians in a compact format that you can always carry with you.

Outwardly, it looks like an ordinary drawing board, but it conceals a mechanism that allows you to create incredible predictions.

Effect:

A spectator freely names a name, word, or number. The board, with black tape attached to its back, remains in full view. When the tape is removed, the prediction exactly matches what the spectator named.

Mental Tape Board is a board inspired by the concept of the Master Prediction System, stripping away everything unnecessary and leaving only the essentials:

• The prediction is visible from the very beginning
• No assistants required
• No electronics
• No complicated setup
• A huge number of performance variations
• Compact and lightweight prop, easy to carry
• Suitable for both stage and close-up magic
• Fully self-contained system

Alternative version with an envelope:

Depending on your presentation, instead of tape you can use an envelope attached to the back of the board, containing the prediction. You can also combine predictions: one written on the board behind the envelope, and another on a piece of paper inside the envelope.
