Mentalism & Spiritism in Magic & Conjuring: page 52

A spectator is given a new deck of cards and some clothes pegs. Tearing off the cellophane they open the deck and begin to peg cards onto a washing line. When they run out of pegs, they shuffle the deck and pick one card at random. This card helps them randomly choose one of the pegged cards.

Imagine there are 9 cards pegged to the line and they choose the 4 of diamonds - they would then count along the pegged cards stopping at the fourth card. This card is turned around and re-pegged so that the audience can see what it is.

A prediction is opened revealing the name of selected card. ...

Erik Jan Hanussen was an Austrian Jewish, hypnotist, mentalist, occultist, astrologer and clairvoyant performer who in his role as the man who predicted the rise and fall of Adolf Hitler, became known as the prophet of the Third Reich.

In 1930 during a court case in which Hanussen stood accused of professional misrepresentation and fraud, Erik declared the only way to break what was proving to be a judicial logjam, was for him to recreate his psychic experiments live in the court room. The following day he presented a routine which would dramatically change the remainder of his life, he...

One helper reads the mind of another.

A brilliant, simple self-working mentalism effect. Includes bonus effects.

Different cards with drawings on them are shown to a spectator and genuinely mixed. A spectator selects any one of them - it's a free choice. All she has to do is then think of the image and try to send her thoughts to another spectator who is going to draw an image on a pad. After a few seconds, the second spectator sees an image and draws it on to a pad. The lady reveals the image she was trying to send, and then the spectator shows his pad - they have both been thinking of...

Fogel's original patter, presentation, handling, and routine are all here. It's an effect that helped take Fogel to the top. It can do so for you.

A trick that took Fogel into many newspaper headlines. This is Fogel's original creation. You walk into any room and ask any person present to collect a few different newspapers ... any type ... any date. Whilst this is being done you write a prediction on a slate, board, or piece of paper according to the conditions under which you are working. This prediction is left in the possession of a spectator. They now select one of the newspapers...

This is probably the best book ever written on headline predictions. It describes in detail the methods behind the two greatest headline predictions ever performed. The first one was performed by mentalist Robert Nelson in 1947 and was known as the Miracle Prediction of the Age. It achieved world-wide publicity overnight.

In 1985, Devin Knight ala Jason Michael, did the Ultimate Headline Prediction, and achieved world-wide publicity and fame overnight. In fact, it achieved more publicity than any other headline prediction in the history of magic.

Both of these predictions generated publicity worth millions of dollars....

Eight self-working mental magic miracles using playing cards and business cards!

"I really like Either OR, and will be using it. This is worth the price of the PDF in my opinion." - Devin Knight

"'A rough Year, Too' (is) one of the best and fair diary effects I've ever seen." - Raphael Czaja

"Had a chance now to go through this eBook and give the effects some time, thanks Cameron for including me in the review copy list. I have a few of Cameron's releases now and they are all of very high quality and this is no exception. Like many people I tend to lean towards performing mentalism and having...

To date there are many incarnations of this classic in mentalism by Max Maven in his videomind series positive / negative, who credits Larry Becker with the original idea, so what is this one all about?

In Heads I Win - Positively you get the opportunity to demonstrate as close as you can get real thought reading. You will actually be reading your spectators thoughts while they carry out the effect; I show you how. The principal method for this part of the effect is used by us all everyday yet we don't notice it.

Your spectator does not need to tell you the coin they have chosen to use until the...

A really strong piece of mentalism that is impromptu and can be performed literally in every single performing situation is not too easy to find. This, however, fits the bill beautifully.

Effect: The mentalist places a business card onto the table. The audience is told that there is a prediction underneath the business card, but that it will not be shown to them until later. The performer reaches into his pocket (or wherever) and brings out three invisible coins: a nickel, a quarter, and a dime. The spectator is told to imagine that she sees them. The performer lays the imaginary coins in...

"Henry Sugar is an incredibly clever effect and one that I will actually perform. I don't say that for many effects. As far as I'm concerned, Liam Montier is one of the most original magicians I've ever met and he is my main inspiration to create new magic. Pretty much everything he touches has a big hint of creativity and an even bigger hint of "I'll kick you where it hurts!" - Andi Gladwin

Liam Montier presents a stunning easy to do mentalist card trick based on a well-known short story by Roald Dahl, called "The Wonderful World of Henry Sugar".

The basic plot of the story is that...

Hexagnosis comes with a specially produced card the size of a regular credit card which you can carry in your wallet or pocket.

Now this is a double-sided weapon so you can perform various routines from both sides of the included Hexagnosis 2.0 card.

The word 'Hexagnosis' is derived from prognosis. The meaning of prognosis is 'a forecast of the likely outcome of a situation'. Hexagnosis means 'the forecast of the likely outcome of a situation which has six possible outcomes.'

The performer predicts, very cleanly and accurately, the exact choice of a participant from among six possible...

Hitchcocked is a collection of two fun-filled mentalism pieces based on the famous movies of Hitchcock. These effects are real-world workers and have been perfected through tons of performances. The 2 effects in this PDF are:

1. Ring and Rope Prelude: A great prelude to your ring & rope routine based on Hitchcock.
2. Hitchcock Prediction: A comedy Prediction routine wherein the prediction of a Hitchcock movie apparently turns out to be a gag. However, the performer proves that he had indeed been able to forecast the spectator's thought well in advance, in a most humorous manner.

1st edition...

You will involve five spectators with various tasks. Two persons are first called up. We shall refer to them as 'A' and 'B'. A pack of cards is dropped between them. 'A' is asked to cut the pack and 'B' is told to take half for himself by actual count. 'A' retains the other half.

From this point the mentalist turns his back on the spectators and does NOT face them again until AFTER everything is over.

The two persons are told to deal together from their respective portions of the pack. A THIRD person is asked to act as umpire and to stop the dealing at any point. As an added precaution...

"The Man at the Crossroads" is a close-up routine based on a uniquely American form of folk magic known as "hoodoo". Sometimes used as a synonym for Voodoo (a term related to the Dahomean word for spirit, vodun, and the more generalized West African juju), "hoodoo" technically refers to magical practices sometimes known as "conjure" - a hybrid of African and European beliefs nowadays far removed from their original West African religious roots - and is comprised of complex magical practices as well as simple medicinal procedures. (Practitioners, however, usually refer to the latter as "signs"...

Now you can take your spectators on a tour of horror-ful amazement.

Your guest selects a horror movie title (one of nearly 200)...then answers three questions designed to probe deep into their psyche.

The program then correctly identifies the movie title they originally chose!

Here's the low-down:

• The choice of movie title is completely free;
• No suspicious keyboard work;
• No 'assistant' needed (hidden or otherwise);
• Can be repeated;...
