Mentalism & Spiritism in Magic & Conjuring: page 27

A Head Full of Books has actually replaced the Hoy book test as my go-to casual mind-reading effect.

Whilst visiting someone's home (or in a bar or coffee shop that has books on the shelves) you ask someone to select any book from their library or off the shelf. He opens the book to any page and reads the first few lines to himself while you look away.

Without touching the book you immediately reveal what he just read! It's that clean.

• Zero memory work.
• Use almost any book, in any language.
• Nothing is written down by the participant or the performer.
• No sleights, finger breaks or other...

Silas offers his new approach to propless "think a card".

Think (Silas first release) was a new, direct and prop-less method for being able to divine any playing card thought of and now with Think 2.0 he offers a new approach that you can even combine in a two-phase routine to read minds twice.

• 100% propless
• 100% reliable
• No difficult or mathematical boring and long procedures
• No PA/BA
• No language restriction
• Impromptu miracle
• No dual reality
• Nothing written

Silas Linden's Epoch is a new method and fun system to create mindreading anytime, anywhere, 100% propless. You and your participant start to create a mind-to-mind connection, and after some moments of casual conversation, you can know his zodiac sign, his thought of name, playing card (and much more) creating a fantastic moment for him and for the audience.

• Not language dependent
• No gimmicks
• Flexible system
• Nothing written down
• No reading required
• No strings
• Practical, simple and very fun

1st edition 2019, 6 pages.

Who can predict where in the deck someone will shuffle their card, to the specifics, e.g. a certain number of cards down into the deck? Even creepier would be if it relates to something you uttered beforehand as if it made it happen.

Imagine this. You mention a scenario where they are 2 or 3 off guessing the amount of candies in a jar. Then the spectator thinks of any card, shuffles the deck they're holding, then finds that card 2 or 3 off from your written prediction just like the candy scenario. The only other outcomes would be if it's just 1 off or dead-on, but you're covered there too...

An exciting, humorous routine, which combines subtle mentalism with magic! From the fertile mind of Ralf Wichmann-Braco - the German wizard who brought the world of magic some of the most pivotal work on the use of thread, this routine combines the elements of prediction, animation and great humor to stun the audience into believing that a felt tip marker has come to life inside a wooden box.

The magician brings out a wooden box, about the size of a small cigar humidor. He borrows an object from a spectator. The object is placed inside a small cardboard box. Then this box and a felt tip marker...

"Travel is a technically a very simple effect, you can go out and perform it pretty much straight away, it's strength is in this simplicity, it's an IDEAL opener for any mentalist or magician" - Dee Christopher

You introduce a laminated card that is covered in easily recognizable places from the world. Places like the Eiffel Tower, Niagara Falls or Stonehenge.

You ask a spectator to do an imaginary trip to any of the nine famous sites depicted. You ask them to imagine themselves to be there. You then slowly reveal their thought of place.

You...

This tome of magic and mentalism secrets was the first book in a series written by Doctor Zodiac a.k.a. Scott Xavier. It includes everything essential for a mid level entertainer to increase sales and create a legend for himself. Here's a sample of what you'll find inside:

• How to structure your magic/mentalism business using a business plan to increase maximum effectiveness as a showman.
• How to start a theater show.
• A legitimate system for Cold Reading for those slow times.
• Lots of theory.
• And a ton of effects.

6 Envelopes. 1 Contains a cash prize. 5 Spectators try to win the money by freely and fairly choosing an envelope each. No matter how hard they try, you always end up holding the money.

The problem in past presentations of this routine is that the performer leaves the audience feeling like losers as they don't win the money. The presentation Ken offers here gets over that.

What's more they actually see you putting the cash in to the envelopes, there are no thumb tips, nail writers or strange selection processes.

Bonus routine - Gift Wrapped: 5 colored gift bags. 1 contains something...

The effect is simple. One spectator is asked to think of a word. A second spectator writes the word. Neither have any clue how it could possibly have happened. Spirit writing? Synchronicity? It's up to YOU to decide how you'd like to explain the incredible experience your participants will have just waltzed through.

Machine will teach you how to construct a simple, yet ingenious gimmick to make this effect clean and direct in method so that you can use the included presentation or put your all into your own.

The MACHINE gimmick could be used on stage, at a table, on the street or anywhere...

Please note that PRR is a psychological guidance done on a subject. You will not find in this ebook any moves or other sleight of hand. If you don't like psychological effects, then this it not for you.

PRR 1.0

The performer asks a spectator to think of any card, no psychological forces are used, no deck is used, it is a totally free selection, and the spectator never writes anything down. Once the spectator has made up his mind, the performer takes the spectator's hand and makes him see the card he thought of down on his palm; after that the performer reveals the card the spectator was...

A modern look into some amazing concepts of mentalism. You'll find three effects designed and tested in multiple venues from the streets of New York to the stages of Exxon Mobil.

Order 66 - an in pocket prediction system. The performer writes down a three digit number. The person who accurately guesses this number stands. That same spectator selects a random drink, a random restaurant from a pack of dozens of business cards from around the globe, and then the audience creates a random phone number. The mentalist points to his phone that's been in plain sight the whole time. Then a video prediction...

Based on the original Al Mann Lexicon Phenomena, but greatly improved and so far advanced it fools those who know the original effect.

Now you can make this up using your own computer for a fraction of buying it new already made up.

Imagine revealing two FREELY thought-of words from across the room using an ungimmicked dictionary (you will have to paste two pages with word lists at the very front and two pages at the very end of the dictionary). Imagine doing this 15 feet away and never touching the dictionary during the presentation. Devin Knight's Word Sight allows you to reveal two words, sight unseen, that...

Foresight is now available as a PDF at a great savings. You get full directions and a PDF of the chart. Just print the chart off your computer on cardstock and you are set to boggle minds.

A killer effect that starts out like a comedy routine but packs a wallop at the end.

Effect

The magician holds up an envelope and says it contains a prediction. He askes a spectator to name any playing card. Performer says the named card is in the envelope. He removes an 8.5 x 11 inch picture that has the whole deck spread out. The performer says: "Look, there is your card right there."

The audience...

The clear force bag has been around for a long time and should be part of any mentalist's arsenal. They come in many shapes and sizes and range in style from the cheap and tacky to the over complex and expensive.

For the first time Scott explains how with basic tools you have at home, you can in about fifteen minutes, easily and cheaply manufacture the clear Zip Lock force bags he has been selling at his lectures for over ten years.

Also included in these 34 pages of photographic instructions are eight full routines suitable for platform or close up and taken from Scott's own working...

LECTURE NOTES 2011 by Devin Knight

The lecture notes from Devin Knight's 2011 tour. Far more than just a set of lecture notes, this is a complete book in itself! Features mind-boggling effects, including both cards and mentalism. Effects that fooled the majority of magicians in attendance. These notes include directions for Devin's NO TOUCH Any Card At ANY Number. The performer need not touch the decks at any time, yet both decks can be examined by the spectators. No fakes, gimmicks or duplicate cards! One of Devin's biggest hits during this lecture tour. These notes also contain directions...

Seance for the Undead: a Duet of Unusual Magicks features two new routines from the slightly disturbed mind of Paul Voodini. Both routines combine elements of the psychological and the esoteric with more traditional (but very simple) conjuring techniques. This is bizarre magic that is designed to entertain, enthrall and, yes, scare a parlour audience!

The first routine is entitled Raising the Dead. This is a seance-based routine that combines both the psychological elements that Paul Voodini is famous for along with some small pieces of illusion.

The vampire has long been a source of fascination...

A piece of direct mind reading with an imaginary mobile phone.

A spectator is asked to think of a persons phone number. They are given a business card and asked to write the number on the card and then fold it into quarters with the writing inside. During this the performer turns his back so there is no chance of him seeing. Upon turning around the folded card is briefly touched to the performers forehead. The spectator is given a second business card and is asked to write the persons name this time. Again the performer turns his back and again when he turns around the folded card is briefly...

When this idea popped into my head I could not wait to try it out. I had a show the very next day and put this routine in. It was a storming success. You will not find any new methods here, although the principles in use are very well hidden. What you will find is a concept and presentation that I think is VERY special.

Recently thoughts regarding my own act have turned to making the whole performance more of an experience for EVERYONE in the audience. Performers who use any Q&A routine know that one of the appeals of such a routine is that it is a "Macro" effect. In other words everyone...

A Lie Detector Test that is extremely flexible and 100% accurate.

The performer borrows 6 business cards from a spectator or, of course, he can use his own. He clearly writes the word "TRUTH" on three of them and the word "LIE" on the remaining three. A spectator is asked to mix them up so that no one knows which cards are which. Keeping the cards face down at all times the spectator now uses the pen to place an "X" on the face of the unknown bottom card. They do this without looking at the card. They then mix the cards again. The Spectator places the cards face down on the table and six...
