Coalesce by Abhinav Bothra

Coalesce is a scripted 30 minute act of prediction, pseudo-hypnosis, mind reading (both by performer as well as the participant).

It only needs:

  • A deck of cards, a marker and 2 extra jokers
  • An envelope with 3 minutes of preparation (no arts and crafts)
  • A close-up pad
  • A table and 3 chairs
Back in 2016 I published 3 short e-books – A Thought Covertly Conveyed (ATCC), A Thought Stumbled Upon (ATSU) and A Thought Left Unsaid (ATLU). The similar names were intentional because they all were part of an act (note : part of an act) – Coalesce is that act.

The Empirical ACAAN by Abhinav Bothra

Love it or hate it but most of the numerous versions of ACAAN out there end up in the same ball park -- look what I can do or I manipulated your choices without your knowledge or simply as a coincidence. The Empirical ACAAN drifts from all of that, here is an ACAAN that makes people connect to each other. An ACAAN that is not about you but about the audience with virtually no sleight involved.

What’s great is that 70% of the times you'll have a hands-off / clean ACAAN and for the rest 30% you have to do something logical which is covered by the presentation to make it look like a hands-off...

Simple Sleightless ACAAN 2.0 by Abhinav Bothra

One of the simplest methods to perform the holy grail of card magic - Any Card At Any Number (ACAAN) with a regular pack of playing cards without any sleights.

This is what happens: You introduce 3 cards with 3 simple questions:

  • Q1. Name a number
  • Q2. Name a suit
  • Q3. Name a value
That get answered alternatively by the participant and the performer. You unbox the deck of cards and demonstrate to the participant to deal down the cards to their number, the participant does the same and it is his/her named card at the named number.

Features:

  • no forces
  • no pre-show
  • no dual reality ...

T.N.T. Hypnosis by Abhinav Bothra

Things that nobody ever taught about hypnosis.

There are a lot of popular sources on stage/street hypnosis and all of them teach you what you need to know to be a successful hypnotist but miss out/under explore certain WHATs and WHYs like –

  • What is the difference between conscious and sub-conscious mind?
  • Why do hypnotists often change their pace of speech?
  • Why is it difficult to hypnotise children?
  • Why should we dress well when Hypnosis is all verbal?

Dyad by Abhinav Bothra

A deceiving card control + an intrepid card move = An audacious card at any number

Crisis by Abhinav Bothra
  • To stay economical at those unpaid charity gigs we all do
  • To be less dependent on the facilities offered at small venues everyone at some point of time performs at
  • To tackle the unfortunate lost-luggage situations that can happen anytime
  • To have a compact yet expandable show for unexpected impromptu gigs
And lots of such other circumstances are the reason behind the existence of Crisis.

Crisis is a 20-30 minutes of semi-scripted and field tested set of mentalism (predictions and mindreading) with nothing except a 3x3 inch post-it pad and a marker and 3 minutes of preparation (no arts...

Business Cards by Abhinav Bothra

A Thought Stumbled Upon by Abhinav Bothra

A couple of people are invited to participate in a trick - any 4 of a kind gets chosen, one of the 4 cards is then given to Participant no. 1 by Participant no. 2. Participant 1 who has no knowledge of the card in his hand correctly deduces the suit and then the value of the card.

  • Borrowed and Shuffled Deck.
  • No Forces.
  • Easy to do.
Honest Notes:
  • This needs a table or a working surface.
  • A fact (stated twice in the patter), a phrase and the casualness of the performer's is what makes this possible.
  • Included in here is the script (fully customizable) and a short video (download from...

A Thought Covertly Conveyed by Abhinav Bothra

A hybrid of a card trick and the plot spectator as mind reader dressed in the clothes of hypnosis.

Spectator 1 selects a card and places it back in the deck which is then put into the box. Spectator 2 is asked to close his/her eyes and is put through a simple process at the end of which he/she names the card.

Honest Notes:

The card is a force card (any card among the 52 will do) and it is conveyed through some physical factors supported by the script.

In here you'll find my script in English, which can easily be adapted to any language and is not bound by any particular word/s. And...

A Thought Left Unsaid by Abhinav Bothra

A thought of card is conveyed to everyone (without writing down or uttering a single word) while the performer has his back towards the audience.

  • No stooges or confederates
  • Borrowed deck
  • Angle proof (can be done surrounded)

ESPerience by Abhinav Bothra

A three phased easy to do routine that gives your spectator an experience of what it feels to be a mentalist.

Phase 1: 5 business cards are shown, each having the ESP symbols and are laid face down towards them. The performer introduces another set of 5, with a little thought points to one of them and asks them to point a card in their pile which they think matches the performer's card. They do so, and it matches.

C.I.A: Challenging and Intensive ACAAN by Abhinav Bothra

A really clean and impeccable ACAAN.

What the audience sees and hears:

The Performer brings out a deck of cards and points to a person asking him to think of any card but not the Ace (as its common for people to go for it) and another person to think of a number between 1 and 48. He then proceeds to pull out the Aces meanwhile handing out small packets of cards to 4 different audience members and asks them to shuffle the cards thoroughly. While they are busy shuffling, the two audience members are asked to name their thought of card and the number for the first time.

Behind My Back by Abhinav Bothra

Another version to the classic Card Calling Trick but this one is on steroids.

The spectator selects 4 cards while the performer is facing away. After selection, the performer turns his back toward the spectator. The spectator shuffles the 4 cards and holds 2 in each hand. With performer's back turned towards the spectator - he is able to call out the sum of the values of the card in each hand. He proceeds to identify the cards. And even calls out which card is in which hand.

  • Uses no marked cards.

ABhyaas Change by Abhinav Bothra

ABhyaas Change is a fast and stunning card color change that happens in a split second and a small shake. Often confused to be done using gimmicks, it is 100% IMPROMPTU and requires 100% SLEIGHT OF HAND. Taught here are four different ways of performing this color change and three clean-up options.

[Note: It was brought to my attention that ABhyaas Change looks similar to Cody Nottingham's SOLE Change taught in his release Changes. Later, I found out that both changes are different in terms of grip, secret move, end position etc. It's mere co-incidence that they look similar.
