According to this weird discovery all the choices made by participants related to these 'Unsolved Mysteries' are amazingly and ominously predetermined, he claims. The performer then goes on to prove this to the utter astonishment of the...

The performer says prior to the show, he jotted down some "Random Thoughts" and place them inside an envelope. He shows the audience this envelope and places it in full view before the effect begins. Any spectator is invited to help. No stooges or pre-show work.

The participant is then shown an ungimmicked sheet of newspaper. The performer then tears that newspaper sheet in half four times resulting in a stack of torn papers. This stack is placed on a table. The spectator then counts down into the packet, using a number that was arrived at by throwing a pair of ungimmicked dice. The number...

[Note: The PDF includes both the original Reincarnation ebook as well as the new #2 edition. If you already bought the original version you do not need to purchase this version. Go to your digital shelf and simply download the new PDF.

This ebook is a sequel to Reincarnation. Here the performer not only divines the name of the country in which a random participant was born in a previous life but in addition is also able to divine the exact date of birth of the participant in that past life. And the participant herself will confirm that both the place and date of birth are absolutely true. Once again jaws will drop. Undoubtedly. ...

A dramatic test in remote viewing.

Effect: A little book is shown to have different capital cities written on it’s pages. The mentalist explains that these are places that he would like to visit in the future. A participant is asked to randomly select a page, and choose one of the cities he sees. The mentalist, without any fishing of any kind, announces the correct city being thought of. The participant then thinks of a freely selected place within the city and this is, once again, correctly deduced by the mentalist. As a final climax, the participant thinks of something associated with...

I love the mentalism effects on the phone, and I often use them in close-up and sometimes - appropriately modified - stage performances. I have collected more than 100, in the last 2 years and, slowly, I am proposing them with these publications. Some draw inspiration from real "pearls" of great artists, which I allowed myself to face, with extreme humility, developing them with a new setting, sometimes adding some interesting details. Others are a little older, even centuries, maybe even well known, but they are often "disruptive" as never before! Still, others are mine or, better said, by...

"Remote Viewing Miracle uses a very clever principle to learn a thought of city in a very disarming way. Nothing is written down, yet the mentalist gets the thought from across the stage! Highly recommended." - Richard Osterlind

The performer invites on stage five people. Four of them sit in front of the audience while the fifth is given a list of names of ten different cities. The performer asks the spectator to mentally select one of the cities and to communicate his choice to the four seated. When everybody knows the chosen city, the mentalist distributes to each spectator an envelope...

Two different effects in one!

One of the most novel effects you will see. Something totally unique...combined with a new principle in mentalism that will delight even seasoned pros. This is release five in Devin Knight's Psychic Sight Series.

MIRRORED THOUGHT

The first effect is one that Devin has used to fool well informed mentalists in the past. Two spectators are brought on stage. Neither is a stooge nor has there been any pre-show work.

The first spectator freely selects a word from the stack of word cards. There is no force of any kind and the mentalist really does not know...

This is a PDF plus five Real Media video clips demonstrating the moves and handling. Bob works with black cards and black tickets, a nail writer, a fiendishly gimmicked dictionary, a voodoo doll, black clipboards and index cards.

He mixes and matches methods where he finds them most appropriately. A move here, a clever use of ordinary props there and a gimmicked item when the effect calls for it.

1st edition 2003; 20 pages.

NOTE: The phrase "class of 91" in the cover image has absolutely no bearing on the effects themselves and is only used to create misdirection for online searches.

WHAT IS REUNION: It is a complete system and an entire tool kit. Right from a one-off quick effect you can perform up to an entire act of 15-20 mins. You can read a single mind repeatedly or you can read a group of up to 5 minds at a time.
