Three escalating prediction routines using illustrated cards and normal Sharpie markers.
Colour Fourcast is a practical collection of interactive routines built around colour, choice, and impossible predictions — designed for real-world performance with ordinary props. Each phase increases the impossibility, building from a direct opener into a layered routine where the audience believes the outcome is completely unknowable.
What’s Included
1. Pocket Forecast
A strong, engaging effect.
Four coloured normal Sharpie marker caps are mixed while your back is turned. Under relaxed, seemingly spontaneous conditions, the markers are placed into the spectator’s pockets one at a time. Your prediction proves you knew exactly where every marker would end up.
Simple and direct.
2. Colour Match
The routine becomes even more impossible.
Black caps are added to the markers and they are openly mixed again, eliminating any possibility of tracking the colours. A spectator chooses which illustrated image will be coloured in, and markers are selected one at a time as the drawing is completed. Despite neither the spectator nor you knowing which marker is which, your prediction has anticipated the final coloured outcome from the very beginning.
Highly visual and perfect for interactive performances.
3. Colour Fourcast
The impossible finale.
After everything has been mixed once more, a spectator makes a final selection from the markers under completely fair conditions. A prediction that has remained in view from the start reveals you knew exactly which Sharpie they would ultimately choose. A clean, powerful ending that feels completely impossible.
