Let's assume they make a 4-2 domino. You say you had a prediction made before they chose their domino. I will prove that magicians use mirrors for their tricks. You stand the mirror in front of the domino saying look in the mirror and you will see my prediction.
This always gets a laugh or a groan. They are looking at a reflection of the 4-2 they made. OK, but I did make a prediction. They turn over the domino and on the other side PRINTED is a 4-2 domino.
Sounds impossible but true, Fits into your pocket, no reset spot on is always SPOT ON.
Easy to do, works every time. Comes with an instructional DVD.

This effect has some good ideas. I think it could be made into a really solid effect, but the product you receive is less than satisfactory.
You get the domino with movable dots, a mirror, and a vinyl envelope. The domino and mirror are made out of refrigerator magnets. That means they get stuck to each other in the envelope, which looks nothing like the one in the demo video. It’s white, opens from the wide end, and has the word domino printed on it. The mirror is a weak gag, but it’s needed in case the outcome of the effect isn’t quite the same as what’s in the demo.
It comes with a DVD that promises alternative handlings on the cover, but delivers none on the actual disk. No introduction is given to our instructor either. The DVD itself runs for almost twelve minutes and he has to stretch to make it last that long. There are also dozens of video demos on the disk that end up running longer than the actual instructional portion of the DVD. The entire method could be explained on a single sheet of paper & by just examining all the props, which makes the DVD an even bigger waste of time, space, and materials.
The effect itself is okay and based on solid principles, along with a fresh principle that can be used in other ways. You’ll have to figure out how to eliminate the mirror gag and substitute an envelope that doesn’t look like it came from a magic shop. The main upside is that the effect instantly resets, and I’m sure that many table hoppers looking to add a different kind of mental magic effect to their set will take a look at this. I personally think they’d be better off with Max Maven’s B’Wave.
In my opinion, twenty-five dollars is too much to spend on a poor DVD, vinyl wallet and props made of fridge magnets. If you think you may use the principle, then this might be worth considering.
One and a Half Stars, and that’s purely for having a new, worthwhile idea to share.
