Snip-Snip Want Ad Test by U.F. Grant - Book

A European Classic!

The Snip-Snip Want AD Test is the most sensational simplified, baffling and easy to present which we have ever seen. No switching, Palming, Sleight of hand or Advance preparation is needed. Here is perfect magic mentalism. Guard the secret well.

Effect: A single column of want ads cut from any newspaper is freely shown. It is not gimmicked or prepared in any way. Holding the strip vertically, you start to snip ads from the bottom of the strip, one at a time, until a spectator says for you to stop. The strip is immediately handed to him with the request that he read the last ad on the strip, the one at which he stopped you. It is found to correspond exactly with a prediction which you wrote before the show and which you had placed in full view before the start of the effect! If desired, you can even mail your sealed prediction to the entertainment chairman or some prominent person, a week or two prior to the show.
