Hey guys!
I was wondering what everyone’s favorite self working prediction card tricks were. Thanks for the input! |

Harry Lorayne has a great one in The Magic Book which I believe is called "Prediction." Check out the presentation in the Afterthoughts section. If you have good audience management skills, you can have your spectator handle the cards the majority of the time.
The best one I have read in a L O N G time is "Emotional Reaction" in Inner Secrets of Card Magic. It is almost ridiculously simple; but do not judge it by its simplicity. This will rock someone's life if you present it properly. Bill Simon's "Business Card Prophecy" is not strictly speaking a self-worker, but it is pretty darn close. It can play equally well on a stage with over-sized cards or in an intimate close-up setting. |

I don't think there is a prediction in Emotional Reaction.

It depends how strict you are about your definition of a prediction (and self-working). The following spring to mind...

Pre-pre-figuartion by Mark Elsdon from his Penguin lecture.
They shuffle, then you find the one card that will work for the trick. They make all the decisions yet the prediction builds to a great four-of-a-kind climax. It is great trick that went right into my "working set". Highly recommended!
The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance; it is the illusion of knowledge.
