Mentalism & Spiritism in Magic & Mentalism: page 81

This is a high-impact routine which is custom-developed to be performed by a mentalist / mind reader for a special occasion like a wedding anniversary. It can also be easily adapted for other occasions like birthdays, corporate anniversaries, annual days etc. The effect is quite visual and takes about 3 to 4 minutes to perform, but of course this can be extended based on your presentation and patter.

Anniversary Mystique is more suitable for a mentalist/mind reader persona. It has no sleights, is easy and self-working, and allows you to leave a couple of visual and memorable souvenirs. ...

All you ever need to know about this fascinating subject. A great introduction to this mysterious ability, also known as "Hellstromism" or muscle reading.

Once you know how, objects can be hidden out of your sight. Yet you find them without the use of assistants or confederates. One famous TV mentalist uses "muscle reading" to find his performance payment, which has been hidden somewhere in the audience. (Reportedly, it was once found in a ladies' brassiere!)

While there are other famous works on this subject (among them Robert A. Nelson's seminal Hellstromism and Dariel...

Most magicians and mentalists are aware of the mental logs trick. Although built on a great principle, it has mostly been a mathematical novelty where the utmost you can display is your math wizardry.

A punch-packed 5-phase routine and a killer bonus routine are explained. However you can choose to perform any one, two or three...

IBM is neither the International Brotherhood of Magicians nor International Business Machines. Here it stands for Impossible Birthday Message.

This is a feel-good effect that leaves your participant with a good, positive vibe. This effect can be performed literally for any occasion like birthdays, wedding anniversaries, family dinners, etc or even if there is no occasion and you are just performing for family or friends.

A number force using your Android phone calculator.

Here is what happens :

1. You'll ask everyone to think of a two-digit number. You reveal yours - for example, 88.
2. Announce that three random people will enter their number one by one, followed by a random math operation (+, - , ×, ÷). And a 4th person will enter your number 88 and press equals.

And then the process begins. The final result will always be your force number. That's it.

What makes this stand out is the transparency it offers

• You clearly explain the entire process upfront, making it impossible to manipulate. ...

A deck of tarot cards and four lucky coins create a magical moment.

This is a reading, magic, an incredible coincidence, and a prediction, all wrapped up in a piece of storytelling close entertainment. This is right out of my Tarot Party show. Also included a non-tarot version.

"I love it! The best thing is that the effect doesn't look tricky. It's a beautiful effect. You're a genius at coming up with easy-to-perform effects that are enchanting and look real. This is something I'm definitely going to use!" - Richard Webster

"TC Tahoe creates an impactful moment and curious mystery with a participant...

Two spectators think freely about a card: one mentally decides its suit and the other its value; The magician shuffles a deck of cards, faces against backs...Then he shows them both a few groups of cards, asking if, among them, they see their suit and value. After a few moments, he guesses the thought card!

An incredible mentalism effect in which any card will be only thought but, to make the choice even more random, the magician will randomly call two spectators: the first will be asked to think only of one of the four suits, Clubs, Hearts, Spades and Diamonds, while the second will think...

This is a killer playing card prediction effect. There are two versions explained. One for stage or parlor, and another for close up.

A single playing card is kept in an envelope as a prediction. And several audience members are used to create a random playing card. And your prediction comes true in a most unexpected and extraordinary manner.

A unique emotional hook, an engaging back story, and a solid method make this routine a crowd-pleasing jaw-dropper. This can be described as a card trick, but without a deck of playing cards in play. Only a single playing card is ever used, which...

Ever thought about getting into readings but didn't know how to get started? This is a great way to get your feet wet - NuMatrix Cards is low pressure and has a surprise ending.

The Effect: The mentalist shows nine large cards, each with a different grid of 16 numbers, and allows the participant to choose the one that appeals to her at that moment.

Setting the other eight grid cards aside, the mentalist writes something on the back of the extra Lo Shu card and places it aside for later. Handing the dry-erase marker to the spectator, he asks her to circle a number on the grid. He then...

An impossible prediction.

Your spectator uses their own phone to fill a 3x3 grid with numbers 1-9 in completely random positions. They calculate the mathematical total themselves using their own choices, their own device, their own numbers. (Note: The input method is handwriting. To give you an idea, this is the app the spectator will use to manually fill out the 3x3 grid.)

Yet you've already predicted their exact result.

No apps to download. No gimmicked props. Pure mathematical impossibility.

Why this destroys audiences:

• Their phone, their choices - eliminates every possible...

No, this is not about any oracles or vague reading systems. These are pure mind reading effects which are instant killers.

When you happen to meet a person for the very first time, you will immediately tell her that an Emerald is her "fortune gemstone". And you prove it to her almost immediately, to her utter surprise. Or when you meet a male person for the very first time, you will instantly tell him that his "lucky color" is Violet and again you instantly prove it.

The participants never tell you either their date of birth or star sign. Nothing is ever written down. There are no peeks,...

Bend reality, blur perception, and make them question everything - straight from your wallet.

You start off with a quote - A lie is told well, becomes the truth. Next, you display five ESP symbols on a card. The participant chooses one (or so it seems). Moments later, their symbol vanishes. Then comes the shift - subtle, eerie. Something feels off. Soon, all the symbols disappear. The card, held tightly in the spectator's hand, is now blank on both sides. They're left with nothing - except the unsettling question: Did anything ever exist at all?

In here, you'll find two compact handling...

After getting so much positive feedback from his first release, Perplexed, we now have the next step in Matt's creative journey, pushing things further into the unknown.

A new principle Step Jumble Force is introduced in this ebook. You can use this lovely principle to create your own routines on different themes.

Based on a presentation on the theme of Eye Patterns, a participant secretly thinks of several random digits from his date of birth or phone number and based on that arrives at a random word. Based on this word, he then mentally chooses either a personality trait or a color or playing card etc. And the performer is able to divine this final thought accurately.

There are no sleights, no pre show and no stooges. These routines are designed in...

Whether you believe in the concept of rebirth or not, you will surely enjoy performing this effect. It is quick, visual, self working and very impactful.

The magician reveals thoughts that four spectators are only thinking of without anything being written down or asking any questions.

If you are not familiar with the General Card Principle, it will change the way you think about and perform magic. It is that strong.

Once you fully understand the General Card Principle, you will have an aha moment.

This eBook presents a mind-blowing effect utilizing the...

Five fantastic mentalism routines from Annemann's creative mind.

The Book Test: Use any book or magazine and do not touch it throughout the entire test.

The Mentalist's Card Staggerer: A pack of cards is shown and shuffled. The spectator deals a row of five cards face down. Any one of these he looks at while your back is turned. The five cards only are picked up by you and placed into an empty pocket. One at a time, the cards are drawn forth openly from your pocket until but one remains. This one the spectator removes himself from the pocket and finds it to be his own card. Everything...

The performer explains that the famous neurologist and psychologist Sigmund Freud had demonstrated this experiment to the famous scientist Albert Einstein when they had first met in Berlin at the home of Freud's youngest son. Einstein was so impressed with it that later he started a correspondence by letters with Freud on critical world issues.

And the performer offers to demonstrate the same experiment to the participants where just by knowing a participant's color choices, the performer is able to accurately deduct a participant's personality traits which the participant will vouch for...

Mammoths used to be animals immense in size and power - and Mammoth Tear delivers exactly that and more.

This is a two-step center tear where you have the 'option' to cleanly show both the front and back of the folded paper - with absolutely nothing suspicious to see. It's bold, deceptive, and incredibly fair.

Not ready to peek right away? No problem. Mammoth Tear features a clever design that lets you steal the center with ease. It also allows you to open it with a single hand, the right side up, always - giving you complete control over the timing.

The ability to access someone's...
