PSYCHO KILLER:
Two audience members are asked to participate in an experiment in synchronicity. One is selected as a sender and one is selected to be the receiver. The sender focuses on any random image that can be easily drawn. The receiver is told about the ability of psychics to both remote draw as well as automatic write. This receiver is blindfolded and handed a pen and pad of paper. The receiver is told to freely allow his hand to flow across the paper and to just concentrate on nothingness allowing his subconscious to take over. The sender now begins drawing on a second pad of paper and focuses intently on the details of the object in an attempt to transmit the image to the sender. Once the sender is done drawing, the receiver is instructed to stop and remove his blindfold. The two drawings are shown. Though the receivers drawing looks scribbled and chaotic, a clear shape is within this clutter. It matches the object the sender was trying to transmit! A Psychic Synchronicity experiment has been shown to be successful.

It’s like the roofer is a carpenter scenario. Anyway you look at it, I am sure you’ll love to perform this one. I can not claim any originality in this routine other than maybe making it a mental effect. It’s so simple, I could not imagine anyone not having invented it any sooner!
