Elevate Your Magic to a Philosophical Experience

Elevate your magic beyond mere tricks and into the realm of profound thought with 'All is Foreseen' by Arthur Kurzweil. This isn't just an effect; it's a deep dive into one of humanity's most enduring philosophical questions: Do we possess true free will, or is our path predetermined? Crafted to spark genuine contemplation, this routine allows you to present a powerful piece of mentalism that resonates with every spectator.

The Journey into Foreknowledge

Inspired by a classic three-way-out concept, 'All is Foreseen' transforms a clever method into a routine that resonates on a deeply personal level. You begin by introducing an ancient quote that sets the stage: 'Everything is foreseen, yet free will is given.' To visualize this profound paradox, you present a striking image of a scale, symbolizing the delicate balance of life's decisions. Next, three custom-printed cards are revealed, each bearing a powerful word: 'Chance,' 'Choice,' and 'Fate.' Your participant is invited to reflect on their own life's journey and intuitively select the word that holds the most meaning for them, or best describes how their life has unfolded thus far. Was it random chance, deliberate personal choice, or an inescapable destiny?

A Personal Connection & Profound Dilemma

The true genius of 'All is Foreseen' lies in its ability to connect with your audience on an intellectual and emotional plane. As your friend makes their deeply personal selection, you reveal that their 'free choice' was, in fact, predicted. This stunning revelation leaves them questioning the very nature of their decision: If their choice was foreseen, did they truly have a choice at all? This interaction sparks genuine contemplation and discussion, making the routine memorable long after the performance and ensuring it's not just a trick, but a shared philosophical journey.

Masterful Design & Effortless Performance

Crafted for maximum impact with minimal effort, 'All is Foreseen' is self-working, allowing you to focus entirely on presentation and connection rather than complex sleight of hand. The routine comes complete with five exquisitely custom-printed cards and access to a comprehensive online video tutorial from Arthur Kurzweil himself, guiding you through every nuance. Manufactured with exceptional quality by Meir Yedid Magic, this effect is widely praised for its elegant simplicity and profound message. As a renowned mentalist eloquently stated, 'Its ease of method can be built up in assorted ways, but at its core, anyone can do it, and the tale that comes with it is a powerhouse,' highlighting its accessibility and impactful storytelling potential.

Original Specs

Although this is based on a classic three-way-out effect, the props and presentation elevate it to a routine that is meaningful and thought-provoking. If you are looking to add meaning to your magic this might be the best way to start.

The routine is based around the premise of whether we have free will or everything in life has been foreseen.

You begin with a quote from an ancient book which theorizes that "Everything is foreseen, yet free will is given." You then show a picture of a scale which will be used as a pointer when the spectator weighs their choices.

Three cards are then introduced bearing the words Chance, Choice, and Fate. Your friend is asked to move the scale to the one word that is most meaningful for them... or of how their lives have unraveled so far. Was it their choice, was it just a matter of chance, or was it fate.

They of course have a free choice, and you will show that their choice was predicted... was foreseen... So, did they really have a choice in what they chose?

Comes complete with the five custom printed cards and access to an online video tutorial. Self-working. Manufactured by Meir Yedid Magic.

"This is marvelous. It gets into the the meanings and thoughts of the witness' mind. Its ease of method can be built up in assorted ways, but at its core, anyone can do it, and the tale that comes with it is a powerhouse."
