Secrets of a Vaudeville Mind ReaderMystic AlexandreIn the dimly lit chambers of an old book store, tucked away in the heart of an antiquated town, I stumbled upon a handwritten booklet that would alter the course of my journey as a mentalist and psychic entertainer.

Six AppealMark LeveridgeAn envelope is shown and a single card removed from inside, but not shown. The envelope is otherwise empty. This card is a prediction and is replaced into the envelope and left in view. Six Jumbo cards are freely and openly displayed and various spectators are asked to choose any of the cards to eliminate until just one is left. Despite the fact that there is genuinely no force or selection control, the prediction card exactly matches the randomly arrived at selection. This direct effect is ideal for a close-up or parlor show.

Mentalism with BanknotesRenzo GrossoUntil a few years ago it was possible to propose an interesting effect, using a euro banknote (any), which the spectator took out of his wallet. The serial number consisted of a letter, which identified the country, and a series of numbers; the essential feature was that each country had its own control code; by removing a number it was possible, through a procedure that we will see later, to identify it. Then new banknotes were printed, with a new type of serial number (before it had a letter, which indicated the country; now it has two letters, the first identifies the country, the second... | $12 to wish list | |

Numbers and MentalismRenzo GrossoIn my methodical (and stubborn) search for effects to propose over the phone, numbers are the absolute protagonist. Except for some small stratagem, the final principle is always the consequence of one or more mathematical principles.

Even if you never chose to use smoke in your performances, the examples will inspire you to think about ways in which your mentalism might look to your audience.
