This may be a good way to reveal something especially to the young people of the world. If you post something to a public then that is making a statement right?
When's it not?As long as you can build drama and theater around the reveal, it could be cool. It could also fall flat. That's on you.
totally agree. Some time ago I thought about creating a reveal like this one but I've never found a good way to make the whole idea meaningful. The fact that you're revealing something with your fb/insta profile itself is not fair. I think it would be much more powerful on someone else's profile or, even better, basing your revelation on a celebrity profile. Don't know how, these are just random thoughts I had.No matter what magicians think, laymen understand the idea of cheating to make them make certain choices. So the obvious method to any prediction is that the magician made them choose those things.
I was referring to when you try to post something on Facebook and they autofill it with suggestions based on other information such as friends, likes, etc. So the idea was that I would say that I was trying to make a prediction post but Facebook corrected it for me with it's autofill prediction.korvoatano - stop spamming every thread.
TylerScott - That's definitely a starting point. I'm nit-picky so my mind would be hung up on the fact that you're saying Facebook predicts things, but then it's your own post. That's not Facebook, that's you.
The more I think about it, the trickier it seems to pull this off. The problem with predictions is that it's difficult to convince the audience and/or volunteer that it's a real prediction, particularly when it involves the volunteer making any kind of choice. No matter what magicians think, laymen understand the idea of cheating to make them make certain choices. So the obvious method to any prediction is that the magician made them choose those things. So you have to come up with a way to present that (Both the wording of the prediction as well as the presentation of the reveal) so as not to make that the most obvious thing that's going on.
