Real Time Clipboard by Antonio Romero - Trick

Real Time Clipboard is a utility prop especially suited for mentalism. With it, you will gain access, in real time, to whatever your spectator writes or draws.

Unbeknownst to your audience, Real Time Clipboard will allow you to read anything the spectator writes on it as he is writing it! Think of the countless effects you can achieve with this!

Effect:
The Magician shows a sheet of laminated cardboard containing 25 different symbols and hands it to a spectator along with a clipboard and a ballpoint pen. The spectator is asked to think of a symbol, to draw it on the clipboard and to cover everything up. The magician gets the laminated sheet back and circles one of the symbols. The magician's choice coincides with the symbol drawn by the spectator!
