Magic & Conjuring: page 197

Mind Explosions is about closers, the routines which will leave your audience laughing, crying, awestruck, applauding, or sleeping. The two routines, "The Number of the Beast", and "Checkmate" begin as traditional, albeit very impressive, demonstrations of lightning calculation and memory. Both end with an unexpected synchronistic twist that leaves audiences stunned.

If you have ever performed the super memory effect or "The Knight's Tour", you already know that they are classic effects that are effective before any intelligent audience. In Mind Explosions you will learn a method of performing...

The performer places a blue deck and a red deck on the table. The blue deck is given to the spectator to hold for the entire performance. The assisstant is invited to select any card from the red deck (without looking at it). Next, the playing card is inserted face-down in the face-up deck. Neither the performer nor the spectator knows the identity of the card.

The magician then invites the spectator to open the blue deck which was given to him at the beginning of the effect and instructs him to spread the cards face-up on the table. When the cards are spread face-up, it is seen that there...

Honed in 100's of performances, this routine brings together the excitement and suspense of a Game Show with questions, prizes and mystery. It packs a full ten minutes of fun with audience participation and customization possibilities once you know the principles and routining that make this an award winning routine for any family audience.

Two semi-automatic ACAANs.

In the main effect, the spectator mentally moves an imagined card into the deck in an imagined position only. All this happens without the mentalist touching the cards and without knowing which card and what number the spectator has thought of.

In the second ACAAN, the spectator generates a random card and number then counts to the generated position and will find the card. All this happens without the mentalist ever touching the cards.

The two effects are very easy to perform and do not require any sleight-of-hand.

For almost 10 years this has been Peter's biggest selling trick in Europe & the USA.

You give a spectator a small pocket diary. From a choice of over sixty names written on cards, a second spectator mentally selects a husband and wife. The choice is free; there is no force of any kind.

You (or a spectator) read out a letter that has been in full view from the beginning. The letter reveals the date of the couple's wedding. The first spectator opens the diary to that date. For the first time, the second spectator announces the names he is thinking of. Let's say it's Mr. and Mrs. Ford. Spectator...

A highly visual routine. Based on the theme of Hollywood stars. Very entertaining and fun routine. Completely self working. No sleights. No pre show. No stooges. Nothing to reset.

A couple of participants are asked to play the roles of 'movie director' and 'movie producer'. Using the various genres of movies like 'action', 'romance', 'comedy' etc, they have to shortlist a 'star cast'. And based on this shortlisted star cast, a probable 'lead star' is decided on. All this happens when the performer's back is turned or he can even be blind...

Paul's first ebook in a while and his first on mental effects since Mentalism with Cards.

Effects included are:

In the Image of Jaks
A quicker version of an old Jaks routine with a couple of presentation options suggested. This is a great routine which has no explanation except that you must be psychic. Some jumbo ESP cards are mixed, some envelopes are mixed, the cards are placed in the envelopes while the performer is well away from the proceedings. The mentalist can now reveal the contents of the envelopes and possibly give information about the people who assisted.

Son of Cidentaquin
Another jumbo ESP...

A fork and a spoon are shown. Someone chooses one leaving you with the spoon (ho, ho!), which you now bend using 'the power of your mind' alone. Actually you do bend it, but by pressing it against your forehead! However, it now visibly straightens (all by itself!) then slowly bends again, whilst held in one hand only, snaps in two and is handed out for immediate examination!

Self-working...nobody does it for you! It is all in the most simple and ingenious gimmick that costs you a penny if you don't already have the right thing somewhere at home.

It also describes and explains the performances of the brothers Outerbridge whose purpose it was to prove that these types of experiments are based on muscle-reading and not any other mysterious mental forces.

Mental Logs is a well known routine. But it generally remained a math puzzle and never got to become a mind blowing miracle, at least for many performers. Mental Logs Unlogged, although based on the basic principle of mental logs, has been treated with a double dose of steroids and zooms up very high in terms of impact and impossibility.

First, you do not need to carry your mental logs anymore. Second, the theme here gives you a plausible reason to use sets of 4 digit numbers. Third, a few business cards is all you need to perform these amazing routines. Fourth, the basic principle has been...

A participant chooses a random question secretly. But the performer has predicted prior to the beginning of the routine, the answer which exactly matches the random secret question. This is extremely clean, easy, self working and almost hands off - a delight to perform. All you would need is a few business cards.

• No peeks, no switches, no impressions, no center tears, no swami.
• No sleights, no preshow, no stooges, no instant stooges.
• No dual reality, no multiple outs, no electronics.

The popular Mummy Mystery is a great effect based on a fantastic method. And most of us had it and still have it. But, for such a great principle, the routine gets over too quickly. So here are some ideas to add more phases to it. Of course, you can use these only if you own Mummy Mystery - so ensure you have one before buying this ebook.

Phase One - The performer reads the mind of a participant.

Phase Two - The performer reads the mind of a second participant within the same process.

Phase Three - The performer successfully conducts a 'group telepathy' experiment.

Phase Four - The...

Using just a few double blank business cards and a very old principle in a devastating manner, this routine creates the illusion of real mind reading. Several audience members write the names, relationships and dates of birth of their loved ones on several unprepared and unmarked business cards. All these are then gathered writing side down and mixed up. And yet the performer is able to divine all those details of loved ones of anyone of those who wrote the details. Not only that, the performer can even repeat this feat with any of the other participants too.

Although this principle is totally...

Audio Peek is an unconventional peeking technique using the auditory sense and not the usual sight/vision sense. This simple and easy technique/method/habit can be comfortably incorporated into one of our most common everyday activities.

The Audiopeek technique consists of 3 steps, which are as follows.

1. Creating conditions for performing an Audio Peek.
2. Actually doing an Audio Peek when the conditions support.
3. Using the information thus gained in an appropriate and impactful manner.
