Duffie’s Dilemma – Peter Duffie

How does a mentalist decide where to go on his summer vacation? By consulting the Occult, or course! Give a spectator a booklet titled Planning Your Future. It contains nothing but random numbers, ranging from 1 to 1000. There are no duplicate numbers. Ask the spectator to look through the booklet and decide on any number. There is no funny business here, and absolutely no force. The choice is free and straightforward. A second spectator holds a set of printed post cards. Each of the cards bear the name of some exotic country. Africa. Egypt. Peru. Spain. And more. Great places for a summer vacation. Using the freely chosen number, he selects one of the post cards and set it face down on the table. This will be your summer destination! The remaining cards are turned face up and each has a country name on its face. However, when he turns over the chosen card, it bears the message – Welcome to Hell! Not a great place for your summer vacation! And, a warning not to dabble on the Occult! Finally, when they think the effect is over, for a stunning climax, the other cards reveal true Paradise! Duffie’s Dilemma works itself. It is completely automatic. No sleights. Comes complete with Divination Booklet, Special Cards, plus Strong Presentation Suggestions.
