Larry Becker is a name in mentalism that doesn't need any introduction. Here he performs a 40-minute show in front of a live audience and then teaches every nuance of every effect performed except the last effect.

• H.G. Wells' Time Machine: An audience member thinks of a year in the seventeenth century and writes it on an envelope containing a modern coin. The coin envelope is held by the audience member and remains in full view throughout. Upon opening the envelope an old pirate coin is found to have the thought of date engraved on it. Proving that the coin went back in time to the thought-of...

A special offer for the holiday setting of small groups and unknown audiences. A demonstration of enhanced empathic/telepathic awareness and influence ideal for casual events with an unknown audience. Very old techniques and methods are applied in a new way that can be entertaining but are also very impactful. There is a lot of material here beyond the effect description: presentation theory, psychology, volunteer selection, and more.

There are three different approaches for presenting this routine: Triple Influence, Prelude and Embrace. The latter two use advanced techniques of Aware&Cue,...

The spectator is allowed to freely call out random numbers. Through a fair process of elimination, he arrives at a single digit. This number matches exactly a prediction that you have written down previously. This is an easy, foolproof method for apparently reading the spectator's thoughts.

This is a fine contained course in mental magic which not just describes a selection of effects, but the underlying principles as well as other aspects, such as 'The importance of showmanship'. You will learn to force cards, to use the key card principle, to mark and to prearrange, to understand the mirror principle, to work with codes and assistants, and a lot more.

Hugard is known for his excellent writing style, which is clear, accurate and engaging.

This is a quick mental effect that starts with a bit of fun and ends with a stun. All you need to perform this routine is a double blank business card and a one-time preparation on it which will last you many performances and then if needed you can prepare one more double blank business card.

This is totally self-working and easy to learn. And you can start performing this almost as soon as you have read this manuscript. This is ideal for close-up and parlor situations and also can be performed in a virtual show with a slightly bigger double blank card.

Effect: The participant reads...

Here is another ebook that gives you four amazing mental effects direct from Devin Knight's repertoire. These are effects not in any previous Devin Knight PDFs. These effects can be used close-up or on stage. Here is what you get:

CHALLENGE CARD TEST: A spectator selects a card sight unseen and initials the back of it. He returns it to the deck while the performer shuffles it. Neither the performer nor spectator sees the card. The deck is spread face up and the spectator slides one card out of the spread. It proves to be the card he signed on the back. Stunning!

DUNNINGER'S SENSATION:...

Mental Fooler is a great and direct effect. It looks like you really know how to read the spectator's mind. The most important element is that you can do this with a borrowed shuffled deck. Everything is done with the cards face down. You take a borrowed deck of cards and remove a couple of cards. While you are turned away the spectator first shuffles these cards and then only thinks of one of them. Then you explain to him how to spell a card and move for each character a card from top to bottom. While you are again turned away the spectator spells the thought of card silently. You are able...

"You only have to look at the list of contributors to know this book is special. I'm thrilled to find that they all love this effect as much as I do. I don't think a book paying so much attention to a single effect has ever been published before." - Richard Webster

Mental Epic is one the most powerful effects in the mentalist's repertoire. Compiled and edited by Paul Romhany, Mental Epic Compendium, is packed with over fifty-four routines and ideas for this classic effect. Hen Fetsch invented the board in 1954, and over the past five decades it has undergone many different variations, however most...

Mental Deflect was inspired by John Bannon's Twisted Sisters. The different methodology allows Aces to be used rather than court cards. Very Easy to Do! Watch a demo.

As a bonus you get in the same ebook Downfall, which is Peter's version of Roy Walton's classic packet trick, Cascade. Downfall is available also individually for a bit less. Watch a demo.

1st edition 2006; 12 pages

The magician or mentalist invites a participant up and shows him a packet of cards that contains more than 20 colors. One color is written on each card. The participant selects a card and keeps the color written on it a secret. The performer says that not only will he read his mind and determine the color, but he will also project the thought-of color into anyone's mind that the first participant chooses from the audience. The participant then points to anyone in the audience and that person comes forward.

The performer stares into the second participant's eyes and says he will try to project...

Warren places utmost importance on the effect and uses whatever method suits him to achieve it: mathematics, stacks, crimps, sleights, etc. He credits Ed Marlo for clarifying and simplifying his work.

Three magic effects (Memories/Poe theme, Mayhem/Jack the Ripper theme, Mephistopheles/Satan theme) with a bizarre premise.

Memories: Mark presents Nevermore (in two versions) where Edgar Allan Poe fondly yet sadly remembers his inspiration for his classic poem, The Raven. (It's not who you think.)

Mayhem: Mark's From Hell routine (originally created for his Shuddershadow Mansion ebook) is amped up for the stage where chilling accounts of the Ripper's murders are added, bringing more tension to the routine through the power of verbal imagery.

Mephistopheles: We take a closer look at Santa's Book of Toys...
