OPEN PREDICTION BIBLIOGRAPHY

Version #1


Ayres, Mick
Predictabilities 2006 by Mick Ayres p 6 Fate From a shuffled deck, a single card is removed and
openly shown to the audience. The cards are dealt face up and the performer is stopped by a guest
at any other card, which is fairly selected. When revealed, it is the same color and value as the
prediction card; this effect does not meet all the stipulations Paul Curry put forth in his well-known
Open Prediction challenge (its not the spectator who deals the cards face up on to the table).
Nonetheless, with little effort Fate hits the target pretty close to the bulls-eye.

- Card College Vol 3 1994 by Roberto Giobbi 1998 for the English translation Published
by Hermetic Press, p 733 The Open Prediction uses Al Leech Negative Misdirection concept
(not credited) and Paul Le Paul Palm Reverse. This version actually makes practical the
imprecise Gerald Koskys initial intuition. The prediction is indeed open being marked on a
Post It Note or similar. The spectator does shuffle the deck himself and, without the
performer touching the shuffled deck, deals the cards face up leaving any card that he
chooses face down and keeps dealing to the end of the deck: the predicted card is the only
one that didnt show up (Al Leech negative misdirection). Opening the face up cards, the
face down card is out-jogged and tabled (Paul Le Paul Palm Reverse duly credited). The
spectator turns it face up himself and it indeed matches the prediction.

Duffie The Outcast This is Peter's solution that appeared in the James File to one of the most
captivating problems ever posed in the history of card magic, Stewart James' "51 Faces North",
which is his method for Paul Curry's "Open Prediction." To date Peter has not seen a solution which
complies with every one of the conditions laid down by Stewart James. That he already has the
method on which the stringent conditions are founded, it therefore seems meaningless to feel
happy with a solution that fails to meet all the requirements. All Peter is prepared to say about the
following solution is that it does meet every one of the conditions laid down by Mr. James, and the
method could be construed as a new angle on a known principle" & Card Conspiracy Vol. 1

another open prediction, but this time the card is face up throughout the counting of the deck. At
any time (no forcing), spectator can say stop and that card is revealed to be the mate of the
prediction. The effect looks very clean, and having a prediction face up is a nice change. The trick
is not very technically demanding: the sleight is easy, but does require some good timing.

Guglielmi, Tommaso
- Open Prediction The magician begins by placing a face up card (for example the King of
Diamonds) onto the table for all to see and claims that it is a prediction. Next the magician
introduces a deck of cards, which can be shuffled, and asks the spectator to deal out, one
by one, the cards face up onto the table with the deck held face down. The magician then
instructs that at any point in the dealing process, the spectator is to stop and deal a card
face down onto the pile. Once the rest of the cards are dealt face up on top of the face
down card, the King of Diamonds has not been seen yet, and the card dealt face down is
shown to match the prediction

Haxton, Francis
Marlo demonstrated one of his solutions for Francis Haxton who when he returned to England wrote
to James (11th Oct 1952) saying that he had created his own version of the trick. In his reply
James revealed that he too had a solution. There then followed a series of letters in which they
swapped ideas about the Marlo problem. This culminated in the publication of two tricks in the
March 1953 issue of The Pentagram: Peter Warlocks Angle on Marlo and Stewart James Angle on
Angle on Marlo. The tricks were accompanied by a piece from Haxton describing how Marlo had
originally given him the problem and how he had then set the same problem to an exclusive
gathering of magicians in the UK, one of whom was Peter Warlock. Haxton regretted the
publication of the tricks almost instantly. James pointed out that Haxton had missed out the main
point of the problem, that the prediction is made openly and not written down on a folded piece of
paper as it was in the versions published in The Pentagram. Haxton explained that he didnt
consider the open nature of the prediction to be the best part of the problem and argued that it
lessened the suspense and could only lead the spectators to conclude that the predicted card was
not in the deck to begin with. On that point Haxton and James always disagreed. But more
importantly for Haxton was the realization that Marlo had not yet published any of his own
solutions. The problem was underground and Haxton had just been instrumental in bringing it into
the light. He soon learned from others that Marlo was not happy with the situation and appears to
have written to Marlo to apologize and smooth things over

James, Stewart
Ibidem No.3 August 1955 by Howard P Lyons, 25 solutions to the Open Prediction including an
article by Stewart James first laying down the (almost) impossible 22 conditions for the effect
dubbing his idea as "51 Faces North": Borrowed cards may be used. A brand-new deck is not
required. The deck might even have cards missing from it, you do not have to know which ones or
how many, you have only to be sure that the card you predict is there. You do not need privacy
with the cards to set something. The deck is never out of sight for a moment. No card or cards are
stolen from the deck. Borrowed writing material may be used. It is described as a prediction at the
time of writing. The prediction is nothing more than the name of a card. It is known to all before
the first card is dealt. No alternative meanings. No alternative effect. Strictly impromptu. Nothing
but the borrowed articles used. When he starts dealing, you do not know where predicted card is.
It would not help you to know, with this method. Nor do you know the location of any other card.
You never know when he will leave a card face down, until after he has done it. He would take it to
his grave in 1996. At least thats what everyone thought until in 2001 Allan Slaight, the noted
collator of James material, found a single typescript sheet among James papers which described
the solution in detail. It can viewed online at the Stewart James Exhibition curated by Joe
Culpepper at the University of Toronto. The James/Haxton correspondence is also available and at
the Ask Alexander database courtesy of the Conjuring Arts Research Center. For magicians
looking for an amazing trick the solution is disappointing. It has the bizarre quality of meeting all
the conditions James set down but not meeting any of the expectations of Paul Currys Open
Prediction. To meet the conditions it links three effects together, each one setting up another,
which is why it doesnt resemble the clear cut notion of a spectator dealing one card face-down as
he deals the rest of the cards face-up. Instead the spectator has to cut a portion of cards off the
deck during a previous trick, count them and then later deal down to that mentally selected
number in order to find out which card will be left face-down during the deal. It resembles an
overly complicated version of the mathematical clock effect. The secret of Fifty-One Faces North is
so disappointing that some magicians refuse to believe that this is Stewart Jamess real solution to
the problem. They prefer to believe that Stewart James had a hitherto unrevealed method that
remains unpublished. There is no evidence that points to James having such an effect and a lot of
evidence pointing in the other direction. The most obvious point is that the title of the trick is at the
head of the instructions. It is clearly titled Fifty-One Faces North. James made no claim that he had
a whole genre of tricks entitled Fifty-One Faces North. Just one method that met all the conditions
he set out in Ibidem. James was very particular about titles. It seems unlikely that he had two
tricks with the same title. The trick is dated July 15th 1955. Ibidem issue 3 was published in
August 1955. That the two dates are so close together it is difficult to believe that the trick found
by Slaight is not the trick Stewart James wrote about in his letter to Howard Lyons. I dont think
James meant to hype the trick in the way it has subsequently been hyped. He had said to Lyons
that it might make a good teaser but he couldnt have envisaged the way it would be viewed
many years later. Curiously James did not hype the trick to his friend Francis Haxton. He never
made special mention of the trick either by describing the effect or offering a solution. Having read
through their correspondence I can understand why. Haxton made it clear to James that he was
not interested in convoluted solutions to the Open Prediction. He did not enjoy roundabout
methods of forcing the spectator to stop on a particular card. Jamess solution undoubtedly fell into
that category. One aspect that is easy to overlook about Fifty-One Faces North is that James does
not describe the effect. He describes only the conditions under which the effect takes place. It is
easy to assume that he is talking about a clean version of the Open Prediction but a read through
of his other solutions to the problem in Ibidem reveal that he had a very broad interpretation of the
effect. Few of his routins involve the simple straightforward procedure of a spectator dealing
through a deck of cards and leaving one of them face-down. So why assume that Fifty-One Faces
North goes back to Paul Currys original ideal? If the trick was as good some currently believe, you
might wonder why Stewart James didnt perform it, which, after all, is the sole purpose of any
magic trick. Around 1970 James wrote to Haxton telling him that Bill Miesel had been one of those
who doubted that the effect existed. You would have thought that the solution to this dilemma
might be to perform the trick for Miesel. But James took another route to convincing the sceptics.
He told Haxton: This year I had Al (Richards) get a deck and I worked the trick with him checking
every statement in IBIDEM. Later I met Miesel for the first time. Al had already got to him to tell
him triumphantly that he had seen it done. Miesel seems a pleasant enough chap but I am not sure
he is convinced Al and I are completely truthful. I think Stewart James was being truthful. But it
seems reasonable to assume that the reason he didnt show Miesel the trick is because he knew
Miesel, and anyone else who discovered what the real effect was, would be disappointed. The trick
he showed to Al Richards could have been the trick that Allan Slaight found and this would allow
James to honestly claim that it met all the conditions in Ibidem. Prompted by James odd story
Haxton did write to him in 1971 asking whether Fifty-One Faces North had ever been published or
whether he had any intention of doing so. But there wasnt the least bit of curiosity shown by
Haxton about the workings of the effect. And Haxton had never taken its mention in Ibidem as an
indicator that there was some great mystery to be learned. It was left to others to create the
legend of Fifty-One Faces North, a practice that continues today whenever effects are hyped
beyond their capacity to deliver. They say the best way to keep a secret is to publish it. That is true
in the case of Fifty-One Faces North because while many people have searched for a solution that
meets all Stewart James impossible sounding conditions, they have overlooked the fact that
Ibidem 3 already contains such a trick. Yes, a solution to Fifty-One Faces North has been hiding in
plain sight for over fifty years. Lets recap what the major conditions are, you can check them all at
your leisure. The trick has to be impromptu, performed with a borrowed deck which might not even
be complete. All you do know is that it contains the predicted card. The prediction is clear and
unambiguous and is in full view from the beginning of the routine. Most interestingly you never
know when the spectator will deal a card face-down. You also dont know the location of your
predicted card before the deal begins. Yet the face-down card will always match the prediction. The
solution is listed as method 8 in Ibidem. And this time there is no doubt that it was created by
Stewart James. It is easily overlooked because it is not described in any detail being an extension
of previous methods.

the performer openly tells the group that spectator will stop at the 10 of diamonds, then counts
cards face up until they say stop (no forces, no talking whatsoever). Spec is then given a choice of
changing their mind for a few cards down. Card is turned over to reveal the 10 of diamonds. The
routine is technically easy and uses an unusual sleight that most of us probably didnt practice
much (if at all), plus we need to nail the sleight very well if not perfectly. Amazing effect, looks like
real magic.
