TAROT FOLD TOLD

An ungimmicked Tarot Deck is shown and given to anyone to shuffle. Four people are invited to come forward. They remove the top five cards from the shuffled Tarot Deck and arrange them face up on a table in any order. They do this while you are across the room and CAN NOT SEE THE CARDS.

A modern look into some amazing concepts of mentalism. You'll find three effects designed and tested in multiple venues from the streets of New York to the stages of Exxon Mobil.

Order 66 - an in pocket prediction system. The performer writes down a three digit number. The person who accurately guesses this number stands. That same spectator selects a random drink, a random restaurant from a pack of dozens of business cards from around the globe, and then the audience creates a random phone number. The mentalist points to his phone that's been in plain sight the whole time. Then a video prediction...

This ebook contains six more mentalism routines most of it completely impromptu. All the routines are audience tested and come from Martin's repertoire.

Sweet: Several spectators (8-10) attempt to guess how many candies are in a jar. Only one will guess the exact amount correctly and an envelope on stage contains a prediction matching that number as well as a description of that spectator. As an added treat, all the spectators' guesses are tallied and when divided by the number of spectators it equals the exact number of candies in the jar.

The Time Has Come...: One of Martin's favorite...

"ingenious ... innovative ... Probably the best thing about Michael Daniels' Speed Dating eBook is the completeness. If you've thought about learning this feat, you can learn everything you need to know from this book." - Grey Matters: Blog (Scott Cram)

Speed Dating is a refinement to Day for Any Date calculation that Michael Daniels has developed over the last thirty years, and which incorporates some new shortcuts to the mnemonic methods previously published by Bernard Zufall, Harry Lorayne, Will Dexter, and Tony Corinda. It does take quite a bit of initial training but, when mastered, it is very quick...

Ten wonderful mental magic effects by David Britland. Here is David in his own words:

This ebook contains nine mentalism routines most of it completely impromptu. All the routines are audience tested and come from Martin's repertoire.

Living and Dead Test:
This is Martin's take on the classic plot. This effect is completely impromptu and not use any gimmicks at all. The spectator who thinks the dead person name is random and unknown by the performer. You are able to reveal the dead person’s name and as and additional kicker you know which spectator thought of that person. Perform this classic mentalism piece without any gimmicks whatsoever.

The Any Word Book Test:...

This is the third and last part in Bill Dekel's "MindCraft" series.

Mene, Mene, Dekel (MMD)
MMD allows you to gain access to a number, some words, or names that a spectator writes down, all thought of by a spectator. The effect is completely impromptu, and you need nothing to perform it other then yourself. Without peeking, you turn your head or look away as your spectator writes a number from 1 to 100 in the air. You then know what number they are thinking of. You can apply this to book tests, drawing duplications, PIN number revelations... The possibilities are limitless, and with some...

This is probably Eddie Joseph's most proud creation.

THE EFFECT: Anyone in the audience is asked to call out the name of any card. Person naming the card is asked to advance, pick up the pack which lies on the table within its case, and deal cards face up, one at a time until he comes to his card. Assistant deals every card in the pack but fails to find the one he named. He is now told to count the cards in pack and he finds only 51. ONE CARD IS MISSING AND THE MISSING CARD IS THE ONE JUST NAMED ALOUD. The Magician reaches into his pocket and without the slightest DELAY brings out the very...
