Vision Touch is a routine where the line of sight of a participant meets the performer's sense of touch which in turn leads to a colorfully amazing revelation.

In a way, this is delicious old wine packed in a fantastic new bottle. A classic principle is couched and disguised in an enhanced Stroop Test to give out absolutely stunning results.

There is a quick one-time preparation that requires just a couple of double blank cards. Personally, I use postcard-sized cards, but you can use any size of double blank cards that suit you. The preparation will take just a few minutes and once done,...

Effect: A spectator shuffles the deck, freely selects any card and looks at it. They put the card in an envelope. The friend is facing away from the spectator. The friend reveals what card was chosen without looking at the envelope or asking any questions.

Description: Do have that friend that wants to learn a trick? This is the perfect effect. Your friend is the star, and with the secret Crib they do not have to remember anything. You are helping them so they don't feel intimidated. This is a fun effect that leaves the spectator amazed.

• This is a great party trick.

A prediction effect with ESP cards that fits in your pocket.

The performer invites a spectator to take part in a brief experiment in intuition. He removes a small packet of cards from an envelope, holding it face down as he explains that it contains all five E.S.P. symbols.

After confirming that he has no way of knowing the order of the cards, the spectator freely names a number between one and five (inclusive). Let's say he chooses four. The performer counts the cards and removes the one corresponding to that number – let's say it is the Circle. The remaining four cards are clearly...

A unique principle is used to get an invisible and completely propless star sign divination method which is quick, easy, elegant and highly effective. There is no long drawn process here. The presentation here is not the typical astrology based one but goes on the lines of brain functions, human mind and general psychology. The sun sign reveal comes most unexpectedly as a surprising finale.

This method is completely different from any of my other over dozen star sign divination methods. And you do not need to own any of these ebooks to be able to use the method in this ebook.

This is a guide on performing Identity Aura Readings, outlining a system for interpreting auras based on the colors associated with the letters of a person's name, insuring a unique and repeatable reading for every sitter.

It combines elements of color theory, numerology, tarot, Richard Webster's Psychometry, and astrology to create distinctive readings based on a person's name.

It provides a personal keepsake for clients, making it less likely they will discard the reading. The readings can be presented as psychic or psychological, and can overlap with other systems like tarot...

"I have a message for you."

Long out of print, this masterpiece of mentalism was offered as the greatest sealed message exhibition the world has ever seen. Questions written and sealed in envelopes by spectators, yet the psychic entertainer gets the answers, calls people by name, etc. What makes this routine different from other Q&A tests is the bold method that J. Thurman Lord used to supplement the written questions. Some audience members received a personal "spirit message" from the medium, without writing any question in advance!

Excellent for large parties, dinner shows, or theater...

Future Test is a 'packs small plays big' kind of effect. Actually packs very small in your wallet and plays very big to a full room or in a virtual show or even over a video call. This effect is done on the back of your business card which you can later leave with the participant as a souvenir or send over to the participant's phone...

Welcome to Autumn Leaves, a piece that I originally released at the Emergency Act, part of my professional repertoire that can serve you well as a fascinating card prediction and a reminder of the power of child-like awe.

Grids of Destiny is a set of killer routines especially suitable for close up and parlor situations. Of course, you can easily adapt them for stage also, if you want.

These G.O.D (short for Grids Of Destiny) effects are an example of how a simple method can be turned into absolutely stunning and impossible mind reading routines which can cause tremendous impact.

The "Grids" does not refer to a magic square or a forcing matrix. These are also not binary grids. And there is nothing Occult or Oracle based about them, unless you want to make them so, for your presentation. These are normal...

The fans of mental logs are in for a big treat here. X Ray Mental Logs takes the principle of mental logs in a completely novel and innovative direction, which is totally different from my earlier releases on this subject - Mental Logs Unlogged, Einstein's Color Psychology, Logsquare, Logsquare 2 and Invisible Mental Logs - each of which is a unique take on mental logs principle which elevates it from being a mathematical novelty to an unfathomable, impossible and hard hitting mystery.

From a packet of shuffled Tarot cards, the mentalist divines the first selection, and a century-old photo predicts the second and final selection.

EFFECT: The mentalist recounts the story of a distant relative from the early 20th century who was reputed to possess clairvoyant abilities. All that remains of her is a single photograph and a few handwritten notes that informed his next experiment.

Beforehand, he sends the spectator a cropped portion of the photograph on his Smartphone, requesting that he refrains from opening it until instructed to do so later. Next, he presents ten Tarot...

The mentalist shows cards representing five drinking establishments and their signature drink, such as Martini or Old Fashioned. The cards are placed face up on a table on stage. The mentalist now invites three random spectators to join him on stage and explains they will play the parts of folks embarking on an imaginary pub crawl.

Because nobody knows how wild this night is going to get, each participant will select a fake ID under which they'll do their drinking. Three cards are shown, each bearing a different humorous name, and mixed face down and given to the participants. The mentalist...

Geofencing is a location-based technology that creates a virtual boundary around a real-world geographic area. When a mobile device enters or exits this virtual perimeter, it can trigger automated actions.

Psychic Geofencing is a seemingly similar "psychic tech" which uses 2 minds only and no gadgets. Here the performer tries to fix fences or boundaries to the participant's thoughts while his mind roams around countries and cities of the world. The target is to ensure that the participant's mind is influenced to think of only those thoughts which fall within the Psychic Geofence, which...
