Do not become confused with a person called Carnac who used to be on a TV show. That person only prophesied on trivial, useless items such as below.
Carnac’s act involved a variation of the magician’s billet reading trick: divining the answer to a question putatively written on a card sealed inside one of the envelopes, then opening the envelope to reveal the question.
(Carnac holds the sealed envelope up to his turban)
CARNAC: Sis boom bah.
ED McMAHON: Sis boom bah.
(Carnac rips the envelope open and removes the card)
CARNAC (reading): Describe the sound made when a sheep explodes.
or
(Carnac holds the sealed envelope up to his turban)
CARNAC: U-C-L-A, A-F-L, C-I-O.
ED McMAHON: U-C-L-A, A-F-L, C-I-O.
(Carnac rips the envelope open and removes the card)
CARNAC (reading): How do you spell ucaliflicio?
or
(Carnac holds the sealed envelope up to his turban)
CARNAC: Green Acres.
ED McMAHON: Green Acres.
(Carnac rips the envelope open and removes the card)
CARNAC (reading): What does Kermit have after Miss Piggy kicks him in the groin?
or
(Carnac holds the sealed envelope up to his turban)
CARNAC: Dippity Do.
ED McMAHON: Dippity Do.
(Carnac rips the envelope open and removes the card)
CARNAC (reading): What forms on your dippity early in the morning.
Car Nack has spoken.
