This has been the opening routine for Paul's Mentalism show for corporate events and cruise ships. Included are two different methods, one for stage and the other for the solo performer. Includes diagrams of props, the complete script and full instructions.

The magician shows a gift box, and talks about how he bought this gift for his four-year-old niece for her upcoming birthday. He then talks about 'coincidences' and wants to try an experiment. Audience members are asked to call out any color, any amount of money, a ladies name and a 'gift' is selected. The selections are written on a...

Fly on The Wall is Cedric's most ambitious work to date. What you are getting are 5 of Cedric's pet routines that he use everyday.

1. Omniscient: This is a mentalism theory created by "The Urban Entity", Cedric Taylor that works as a Q & A. It's unique in its approach because it:

• allows the performer to do a mass reading while walking around in the audience without ever needing the stage.
• can be performed for 5 or 5,000
• billet-less. (Billets are only used for pre-show work. You will also need a deck of cards.)
• can be performed at a "kisser's length" away from your spectator.
• can be...

This is a fantastic principle to know. You need nothing. Just your brain and some easy acting skills. You can improvise anytime anywhere. It is hands off, practical and the method is very simple. And most importantly, it is fun for the participants, for yourself and for the audience. What else do you want?

You will be able to detect liars in a group of people and identify which one has selected a specific card or ESP symbol for instance. You can show your psychometry skills with borrowed objects. There are tons of applications.

You just ask the same question to some of them.

It does...

Trust: A spectator guesses the card placed in full view on the table at the very beginning. (Uses dual reality among other bold principles, but the cool thing is that the participant can swear in front of everybody that it is the same card). There is absolutely no force for the spectator's card.

Variations on Trust: Including an interesting one with a business card where you write the card (before the spectator reveals her card).

Crossword: Another, and different, method for "Trust".

Smashed: The spectator forgets her drawing.

Subliminal: An interesting addition to a force. This...

[Note: Rohit Gupta contacted us in 2018 that he created and published the same method in 2014, predating this publication. We checked and he indeed published it at that time and should therefore be credited as the originator of this method. Rupesh Thakur maintains that he independently created the method, which for anybody who is familiar with Facebook would not be that hard.]

You show a business card with the five ESP symbols. The spectator freely points to one of them. This is the one you predicted.

• The basic effect is not new, but it is that direct and quick: They announce their choice, and you conclude.
• There is apparently no 'process', no force, no fumbling, etc. in between.
• It uses common objects (pen, index card/paper, etc.).

This is the 6th Volume of Peter Turner's Mentalism masterclass. This Volume is about numbers. This is the only volume where Peter talks about his feelings and thoughts during the creation procedure so you have a chance to step in Peter's everyday life for some moments.

Most are very fast, require nothing else than the provided images, tables, list, etc. sometimes with business cards and a pen.

MONTH PSYCHO: "Month psycho" is another method to guess a birth month....

"Devin Knight's Phoenix Page Rising has the potential to 'kill' an audience. Brilliant thinking and the instructions walk you through the routine with the clarity needed to present this effect. This will definitely go into my show as the closing effect. I can't imagine anything topping this!" - Tom Craven

In ten seconds, you will be able to guess any information thought among two possibilities. It can be any effect where there are two outcomes.

Ploy is a way to indirectly obtain a piece of information your spectator is only thinking of without them ever having to say it out loud or write anything down.

You perform a thought of card effect where a card is taken out of a deck of normal playing cards, you either guess it exactly or get very close and are then able to automatically and effortlessly divine other information your spectator is merely thinking of, such as, which colour they are focusing on or their star sign, etc.

No this is not the usual ploy of writing on the faces of the playing cards to force a thought but is actually...
