Hi Aly,

That was a bit tough to read! I understand that you are performing an effect where someone selects a card and then you bring out a prediction envelope stating not only their card, but also their name.

If this is what you're looking for, check out Mike Kras' "Destiny Effect" available at www.Emagic.biz

In Destiny, you will have a spectator name out loud any card, this card is found in the deck and turned over to reveal their own name written on the back!!

I think this could be exactly what you're looking for and it's very cheap and very effective!

Best,

DC

I understand the effect, a lot of mentalists carry around various things with names, dates, etc written on or within them.

I recommended Destiny as it's a much easier thing to carry around and you would be much more likely to hit on their name unless you carry a big bag full of envelopes! It would have the same impact, but is much more workable. Check it out!

Best,

Yes you could carry around a few envelopes with popular names like 'Michael' or 'John' but I would recommend:
a) Doing pre-show and finding out someone's name simply by introducing yourself before the show if you are doing stand-up.
b) Overhearing someone's name in a conversation, setting up your message, then approaching them (don't eavesdrop, just use this if you happen to hear their name)
c) A simple thing that I know a few mentalists do is just write down what a person is wearing instead of their name, that way your prediction can read: 'Tonight I will meet a girl in a blue dress. When asked to think of a card, she will name...the seven of hearts'. With this method you can have it set up until you meet someone wearing the right thing or you could see someone, write your prediction, then pounce!
I also think you should take a look at Michael Kras' 'Destiny Effect'. I don't own this but Michael is a great magician and a cool guy and it looks pretty neat. Here's the effect in motion - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_DNdughuqs

Enjoy,
Rev.
