Future Perfect Prediction Chest. Glendale: Craig Dickens, ca. 2002. A small chest crafted of zebrawood is locked shut. On the evening of the magician's performance, the chest is opened and inside is found an envelope. Inside the envelope is discovered the magician's prediction, which accurately described the headlines in that day's newspaper. Includes original locks, keys, brass bar, and mechanical tray. Chest measures 8 x 5 ? x 3 ??. Very good condition. The modus operandi of this prediction chest was suggested by Jim Steinmeyer. The apparatus was developed and supervised by legendary illusion designer Alan Wakeling.
