This is a version of the classic Tic Tac Toe routine conceived by Martin Gardner and popularized by Richard Osterlind.

What makes it special is that it is a beautifully made self-contained wooden box which houses the props and hides the double reveal.

The basic routine involves a game of Tic Tac Toe with an audience member where you each place a wooden Tic Tac Toe piece until the board is complete. Of course, the game will be a draw.

As you remove the pieces from the box, a piece of wood is seen at the bottom with the word prediction written on it. You then turn over the prediction and it says “DRAW.”

You now explain that the real prediction was on the box. You turn over the box and etched in the wood is the exact layout of the game you just played.

Ideal for close-up and walk-around performances. Very easy to perform and everything is examinable.

Comes complete with the wooden box, pieces, prediction placard, and access to an online video tutorial.
