The Big Story!Graham HeyA book test, a 3-card trick, and a 5-envelope impossible selection routine - all self-working. A prediction envelope is placed on the table, along with the performer's favorite novel. The spectator is handed a magazine that has had the staples removed and is asked to select any one of the double pages she likes. It's a free choice. She is then asked to add all the page numbers together. Let's say the number totals 170. She turns to page 170 in the novel ... and the prediction reveals which city is mentioned, the make of car which is talked about, and the unusual word on line 4! In fact,... | $10 to wish list | |
Walk of Fame!Graham HeyA great mentalism effect for small groups to huge crowds. Effect: A pile of cards with the name of a movie star on each one is shown to a helper.

The spectator holds the envelope with their card inside, in front of their face - and the performer asks a member of the audience which movie the spectator... | $10 to wish list | |
Devil's IslandMark LeveridgeThis lightweight mental effect is suitable for close up, parlor or even stage and is very simple to do. A map is shown which has six named locations marked on it. A spectator mentally selects one and records his choice on a small card which is concealed in an envelope. Cards bearing the names of the six locations are shuffled by a spectator and placed by him entirely at random into six envelopes which are then given out to audience members. Despite all this, a prediction shown at the start leads to the correct person holding the envelope which contains the spectator's chosen island location. ... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |

Quodlibet 2Davide Rubat RemondQuodlibet literally means "what you like, or what you prefer" and is the theme that links the two publications that bear this name, the first dedicated to an evolution of the numerical tables and a development of the principle applied to a 52-card deck, and the latter Quodlibet 2, which proposes the Tarot version. An upturned Tarot deck is placed on the table in full view; a spectator will be asked to choose only mentally any one of the 78 Arcana, of the major or minor series as he or she prefers, and to concentrate on it.

Significant CoincidencesRenzo GrossoThe performer chooses three spectators from the audience and asks them to choose numbers. There are so many effects like this. The news is that, finally, I managed to insert the Fibonacci series into an effect. Then I had to work on the screenplay to avoid noticing the only moment in which I "see" the audience numbers: but I think I succeeded. Basically, for collaborators and the public, I give them a sheet, I have them write numbers, and then do various calculations; at the end, I use the number they obtained for other calculations, using a second principle. In the end, if I've been a... | $10 to wish list | |

Power of PersuasionArthur SetteringtonSetterington offers an alternative presentation theme for a mentalist who does not want to perform like a mentalist.

P.O.P. . . . is a fresh approach to mentalism, which blows away the cobwebs of the past, eschewing the supernatural or prenatural, making it acceptable to modern audiences. ... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |

This direct effect is ideal for a close-up or parlor show.

Impromptu MentalismRay GrismerImpromptu mentalism is usually improvised but certain effects may be prepared in advance if they are presented as impromptu ideas. Somewhat like the comic who memorizes thousands of one-liners and seems to create them off the top of his head.

ESP Match Up PlusMark LeveridgeTwo sets of five ESP cards are freely displayed, one set with red backs, the other with blue. The red set is given to the spectator who shuffles them, the magician mixing the blue set. One at a time the performer places his cards face down onto the table and each time the spectator then places one of his cards at random next to the performer's. When the pairs of cards are turned face up, all five sets are seen to have been put down in matching pairs! This is a streamlined version of my card matching routine which has extra subtleties and a cleaner handling than earlier versions.
