This is a totally self-working and completely hands off routine which can be a reputation maker for you and allows you to fully focus on your presentation. You will find this a real pleasure to perform.

The theme is that of a psychic librarian who always accurately predicts the total deposit to be paid for a list of book choices made by a series of participants. In an additional phase, the performer can also accurately divine each individual choice of the participants.

The method is a unique combination of two classic principles. It is very easy to perform and you can start performing...

The performer claims that he has discovered a strange secret numerology code which is embedded in 3 of the most well known 'Unsolved Mysteries of the World' - The Bimini Road, The Voynich Manuscript and The Nazca Lines. 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...

A display of unique skill.

A spectator signs a piece of newspaper. Another spectator selects a number between 1 and 32. The performer tears the newspaper into 32 pieces, counts down to the second spectators number. This scrap of paper bears the first spectator's signature.

Some nice easy effects based on a rather recent force that is already widely known among mentalists. Some new ideas, some old ones probably, but most importantly, some new ideas for predictions and presentations, that make sense (and can be used for other forces).

Rosemary's Baby is my manuscript on identifying 4 objects using the participant as a stooge without them knowing they are a stooge. You can use this system as a pseudo-hellstromism presentation. For people who are interested in guessing 4 borrowed objects without the need of doing actual muscle reading or billet reading, this system is perfect for you. The best part, it's totally impromptu.

• No Writing

This is a quick playing card divination effect. The performer divines the card merely thought of by the participant and the best part is that there is no need of any physical deck of cards. Just one single business card is used.

There are no sleights, no stooges, no preshow, no peeks, no impressions, no outs, no tears. Nothing to reset and instantly repeatable for other participants.

The method is an old classic reworked for this effect. The underlying principle is very flexible and can be put to multiple uses with a little creativity.

A new design shared by Michael Lyth is included. Another cool...

Based on a classic principle, the 4 routines explained in this ebook can become reputation makers for you. Right from a rank beginner to an experienced professional, any performer can adapt these routines to his/her stature and pull off these seemingly impossible card mentalism miracles.

There is no sleight of hand and all the routines are totally hands off. The principle is completely self-working and almost impromptu. Only ordinary decks of playing cards are used - no gaffs or gimmicks are needed. The bonus is an esp routine performed with an ordinary esp deck.

No preshow. No stooges....

Duplica is a perfectly pure method for reading minds.

Using just an index card, an envelope, a pen and the knowledge in this manuscript, you will be set to create a devilishly deceptive moment of mystery at any time. José has refined this method through many years of performance and in stripping away all the unnecessary movements and illogical elements of some popular techniques, Duplica was born.

• No Flaps
• Two second preparation

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.

• Improvised
• Very versatile principle

Tele-Thought is conceded to be the greatest of all pseudo psychic and mental tests. Present Tele-Thought as a prediction - a prophecy - as a genuine experiment in mental telepathy, or both!

Here is a brilliantly conceived psychic effect, impregnated with showmanship and a superb presentation to baffle and astound the keenest of minds.

Read most carefully the following superb effect: With a few well chosen remarks about mental telepathy and the ability of a 'chosen few' to pierce the wall of the future, the mentalist asks any spectator to select any page from any group of newspapers. The...

8 excuses to hand out business cards

Accurate - Based on Andrew Gerrad's Accuracy, it's different but impromptu. 3 objects are hidden one in each hand and one in a card box. And the performer deduces the location of each of those objects.

Brief But Accurate - Accurate made short but still effective

B4 Esperience - This is how Esperience used to look like before what it is now.

Dismantle - Spectator reads the thoughts of another spectator.

Haptic - A fun little piece that deals with unconscious cognition and utilizes your sense of touch

Pinned up Memory - Spectator stumbles...

A new principle "Proactive Anagram" is explained in this ebook. The power of this method is that it can be used to reduce a range of about 30 choices to just 5 choices in a single step. Normally, creating a progressive or branching anagram for about 30 or more words and performing it would be quite complex and cumbersome. That lengthy process would seem tedious to both the performer and the audience members.

But using this Proactive Anagram principle, a set of 30, 40 or even 50 different words can be reduced into a very short list of 5 or 6 words in a single step. This very interesting and...

Here's what's included:

Color Flight - A beautifully routined Cards Across effect where three selected blue backed cards travel across the stage and join a packet of red backed cards.

Out on Location - A great card location that looks absolutely...

"Devin’s method of locating this first date's name is brilliant!" - Ron Levy

The performer hands her a small ruled pad with a row of numbers from 1-6 running in a column from top to bottom. She is also given a regular gel pen. The performer turns his back to her. She is asked to think of the name of the first person she ever dated. She is instructed to write this person's first name by any...

"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

A wonderful collection of original magic/mentalism effects and theory.

The Assumption Principle: A deceptive but simple and versatile principle that you'll surely be making your own tricks with.

Bluff ACAAN: To the spectator, it is a meaningful take on the ACAAN using a shuffled deck and free choice. They can handle the deck for the naming of the card and number. They can deal the cards.

The Passive Force: An idea for an elaborate forcing method which you may already use, but have never realized it or thought of it in this way.

The Build Up Principle: You'll totally transform your...

This ebook is a beginner's guide to the famous Gilbreath Principle and its applications in card magic and mentalism. It includes two ESP-type routines:

Fingertip Sensation

The spectator shuffles the deck. The mentalist (who can be blindfold) then uses his fingertips to correctly identify the colour of cards.

Trinities Card Divination

The mentalist correctly divines attributes (colour, suit, value) of playing cards which the spectator has shuffled, dealt, and covered with his hands while the mentalist has turned away.

[Note: This ebook is a revised extract from Michael Daniels' ebook Trinities, plus an additional routine (Fingertip Sensation).
