Postcards from Paradise by Bill Abbott

A bulletproof, completely hands-off prediction routine using gorgeous vintage postcards from around the globe.

Postcards From Paradise combines a deeply organic premise with a legendary, high-utility forcing method. It allows you to perform a massive, stage-scale prediction miracle that packs flat enough to fit in your pocket. Because it utilizes everyday travel imagery rather than playing cards, it instantly engages audiences of all ages and demographics.

The Routine

You display a handsomely aged carrying box containing 54 stunning vintage postcards, each featuring a different travel destination from around the world. You also point out a secure prediction left in plain view—this could be sealed in an envelope, locked in a box, or even frozen inside a block of ice.

An audience member takes the postcards into their own hands. They freely mix and cut them into two piles. You invite them to toss away either pile into a bin—a completely free choice with no “magician’s choice” or weird wordplay. They mix, cut, and discard again.

Left with just a small handful of postcards, the participant touches the one they feel most drawn to. Without any switches or sleight of hand, that exact card is placed into their hands. When they turn it over to read the destination, your prediction is unveiled to reveal a 100% perfect match!

The “Smart Ass” Advantage

Every single set is precision-constructed with the famous Smart Ass methodology built directly into the cards. This ingenious principle gives your spectator completely free choices throughout the entire elimination process while guaranteeing a 100% safe, bulletproof force every single time.

While these look and feel exactly like genuine, weathered vintage postcards, they are printed on a highly durable, professional card stock with specialized coatings. They are engineered to survive thousands of performances without showing wear.

Key Features

• Packs Small, Plays Big: Fits easily into a briefcase or pocket, but has the visual presence to play to an audience of hundreds in a large banquet hall.

• 100% Hands-Off Climax: The entire elimination happens in the spectator’s hands. They can even keep their finger on their chosen postcard the entire time.

• Instant Reset: Resets from show to show in just a few seconds, making it ideal for professional walk-around or repeat performances.

• No Restrictions: Can be performed close-up and completely surrounded. Requires no special staging, angles, or clothing requirements.
