Easily done. Prior to the show he had prerecorded the message with three ‘blanks’. Then he also recorded his voice whilst stating each of the colours, shapes and words (that were to be flashed). Whilst the show was being aired he had somebody elsewhere observe each of the three responses and then that person recorded his voice-mail message but with the correct answers included. This work could be done at a remote location, or behind the curtain.

If I were to do this specific trick, I'd record every possible combination. I'd give them a PBX phone number where I can upload an MP3 directly to the voicemail. And I'd have a friend listen for the choices and pick the proper corresponding MP3 to upload right before the call. I'm not saying that's how he did it but that's probably why Penn said "Provide friend bench password technology recording" I would be providing a friend on "the bench" the password and using technology, change the recording. Idk this "illusion" feels cheap to me.
@Morgan423Z2 жыл бұрын
I don't think you'd even have to record every combination. These are simple variables, and you'll notice that every time a choice is provided in the voice mail message, it's at a comma pause point in the sentence, making it ideal for separately recording each one in a way that makes it sound like it is flowing naturally and unbroken. So he records one main message with correctly timed pauses where the variables go, and then records each variable as it would sound in its spot. There has to be a tech solution now where a standard message can have its pauses filled with a bunch of prerecorded variables. I could see it being useful for multiple types of businesses that have quickly changing conditions to advise customers who could only get to a phone but had no data to get online. So when they call at the end of the trick, they reach a phone app that just does this and he just set the variables during the trick as they chose them. Or it's an actual voicemail box, and there's enough time between the last variable and the call for this tool to call the box and record the correct message. Some variation of that, but X,Y,and Z chosen by the participants are just plugged in so that they are read in the message.

Just... no. I get that it's an act, I get that it's part of setting up the mystique and all, but.. polygraphs are glorified voltmeters. All they do is measure skin conductivity, and the "lie detector" part is entirely based on the assumption that someone who is lying is going to sweat more. "Hokum" was putting it nicely. Now, again, part of an act, alright, great. If the audience is all clueless rubes. Which, sure, magic tricks, ideal audience, and that's fine! It's entertainment, and usually pretty harmless fun! So far, no huge issue, just hard to suspend disbelief. The subliminal stuff isn't as bad; the entire idea is proven nonsense, but most people don't know that and it persists just like the 'we only use 10% of our brains' thing, no issues there. But the phone. My highest level of technical aptitude is programming knowledge of QBASIC from high school 25 years ago and modifying sound files in Team Fortress Classic. The pauses around the keywords, the slightly altered audio quality... honestly? this trick's payoff feels _lazy._ I'm flat-out incompetent at both those skills and I can think of ways to get this done. It's more difficult than anything I could possibly do without months of learning new programming languages, sure, but the bones are there. Sorry to say it, but while it would've taken more effort, an index of shorter messages would've done the same with a better ending. Take it as constructive criticism; this could probably work in front of a real audience, but the message sounds like an automated voice reading individual numbers out, and everybody's familiar with how that works.

All prediction methods have already been invented in magic, and the involvement of technology unfortunately does not add another dimension to them, but significantly reduces the existing one. But I rather wanted to point out the so-called mental magic, which really exists, but it is possible to apply it in a close circle of friends and after the preparation of an "experimental" individual long before the performance itself. So "Berglas" may work, but it's a lottery bet. Therefore, it is never applied to the audience and classical magic is always preferred so that the result is one hundred percent. By the way, no flickering film with subliminal images like from Colombo it does not exist, even though it was believed in the 70-80 years. :)
