"Luke has a truly beautiful mind, and it shows through his work as a mentalist." - Morgan Strebler
"After reading this, I really am excited to see what the future holds for Luke." - Peter Turner
Inconceivable is a collection of practical, hard-hitting mentalism from Luke Jonas - material designed for real-world performance, not just the page.
Inside, you'll find a range of effects and routines built for both close-up and stage environments, using familiar objects including newspapers, playing cards, coins, and more. The material focuses on strong presentations, layered methods, and audience impact, with an emphasis on believable demonstrations rather than complicated technique.
Alongside the routines, Luke explores his approach to performance and presentation through a series of essays on storytelling, structure, and creating emotional investment within mentalism. Rather than simply explaining methods, Inconceivable examines how meaning, pacing, and narrative can elevate an effect into something memorable.
The foreword is written by Peter Turner.
About this edition: Inconceivable was originally released as a limited, hand-signed run of 150 individually numbered copies, earning praise for its creative thinking, practical methodology, and performance-focused approach. This Lybrary edition is a revised and expanded version of that original release. Every effect is preserved, with tightened scripts, restored diagrams, new handling notes, and added outs drawn from six years of performing the material since its first release. Exclusive to Lybrary.
