FORTUNE TELLER EXPLANATION
Introduction
Thanks for purchasing my Fortune Teller forcing device.
This idea was made before I had the Fortune Teller printed, so it explains both the workings and how to make one.
extra information not on the video!!
Since making the video I had the Fortune Tellers printed. So they look much nicer now.
I also found that when making your own, adding the Fablon (Sticky Backed Paper/Contact Paper) before folding the Fortune Teller works just as well. The down side being the folds in the paper show exactly where to write.
Also and this is the IMPORTANT BIT, The dry wipe pen gets harder to wipe off the longer you leave it on the prop.
I write mine about 30 minutes before the performance. (60 minutes before use) This means that it has dried properly, but will still wipe off easily.
If you leave the ink on the prop for than 90 minutes it starts becoming difficult to wipe off in one sweep.
It is best to experiment with your pen. Write on the prop ’30 minutes’, ’60 minutes’, ’90 minutes’ and ‘2 hours’, then wipe each of these off after that time and see how easy it wipes off.
The prop can be fully cleaned with a dry tissue, or an antibac wipe.
