I'm looking for a way to have a spectator draw something on a large sketchpad, and then secretly glimpse what it is. I need it to look as clean as possible - preferably without touching the sketchpad, though I'm not holding my breath for such a miracle.
 
Have you investigated into Matthew Mello's 'Technique'? It's available at Papercrane productions and whilst I'm not aware of the exact method, it allows you to 'divine' a simple picture of number or word written on a pad of paper with you looking the other way. I have heard very good things about it. You may want to check that out.

Randomwrath is almost right, It will allow you to sure-fire...ly divine any number, no matter how big, that the spectators draw on the sketchpad.

You never even see the drawing.

But unless you're Chuck Norris or Michael Ammar, you'll be sticking to numbers, not images ;)

I have it myself, and its a definitive keeper! you won't be dissapointed.

If you don't mind it being a small notepad, Universal Impression is great. Spectator draws something, rips the paper out, folds it, and then puts it in their pocket. The performer puts the notebook away and then pulls out a piece of paper like a business card or post it note. The performer reads the spectator's mind and draws what he or she thinks the spectator's drawing was. The performer turns over the paper and puts it on the table. The spectator takes out the folded paper they drew on and unfolds it. The spectator then turns over the drawing the performer drew. Both drawings are the same. GREAT effect.
