As mentalists, we constantly hunt for new ways to gather the secret thoughts of our audiences. We force the people we meet to think in particular ways, or find deceptive techniques to find out thoughts when we give them free reign on what to create in their minds. This manuscript deals with a solution for the latter concept.

"In the words of Borat; I LIKE!!!" - Ben Williams (Creator of Labelled/Re-Labelled)

Benefits:

• Very Organic, in terms of props and method
• Easy to do, with expansion possibilities (peeking multiple thoughts) when you become more dexterous with the gimmick. ...

"Most mentalists know Don Theo knocked it out of the ballpark with his introductory book Teardrop. However, Theo's 'Broken' makes his first treatise now seem like a bunt.

Progressive anagrams

In Null Fraser shares his work on the progressive anagram. However, as we have come to expect from his previous releases, this is not the standard fare or typical approach to this system. In fact, you wouldn't even recognize the classic tool at play in these effects from the performance, unless their secrets were revealed to you fully.

This manuscript contains entirely new ideas and presentations that turn the basic concept of the anagram on its head to create a streamlined and efficient way to divine information.

No letters are spoken out loud and there is no...

"One of the coolest pieces of prop-less Mentalism I've seen. It felt so free and easy that I honestly thought I was messing things up and was making my own free choices, right up until Fraser told me the number I was just thinking of." - Paul Brook

In 3CSC Fraser teaches his propless method for divining a three-digit security code made up by a spectator, otherwise known as a 3CSC or CVC number that would typically appear on the back of a credit or debit card.

This is a unique take and novel presentation on the now modern classic propless pin reveal, which uses a streamlined method...

Some random letters are chosen to make up the initials of a fictional character out of the performer's sight. A name could be thought of from these letters, this will never be written down; it's in the mind of the spectator.

The Contents Herein Are For Psychic Entertainers Who Want To Come Across As The Real Thing.

For the most part, these routines will not come across effectively unless they are presented with an air of believability. If you don't intend on presenting these as real demonstrations, please do not purchase this manuscript as there will be, with a couple of exceptions, little information of use to you.

I am involved in the metaphysical community and these have all been demonstrated in that environment. Not to be taken lightly.

The following will probably be received as a controversial statement,...

A 100% improvised and hands-off original routine with business cards.

Diabolik:
Effect: Two spectators (one liar and one truth-teller) draw two different objects (or names, words, etc.) on a business card. They swap their cards and pens as much as they want (or they are shuffled by a third spectator), and hide them between their hands or in their pockets. It is impossible (really) for you, to know which spectator has which drawing, which pen they used, who lies and who tells the truth, etc. You really know nothing. And yet, with only one question, innocent and justified, to only one spectator,...

Structured Imagery is a simple concept with the capacity to take any mindreading effect and elevate it to the next level. How? By adding layers to expand whatever a spectator is focusing on to create multiple levels encompassing visual imagery, smells, tastes, sounds, and emotions.
