Digital Book Test is an ebook in PDF format that you can easily carry on your mobile phone. It takes up very little space on your phone. With a physical book, a participant riffles through the pages. But here on an ebook, a participant will scroll through the pages up and down.

The core method is a word divination. A participant chooses a random word based on his birthday (he never reveals his birthday at any point) and you will reveal the word with zero fishing. You will be able to first reveal the first letter of the...

I have been enamored with this principle for the past 50 years, and some of my earliest "commercial " creations were devised on the Parity Principle.

This manuscript attempts to explain and exploit the principle for "across-the-table" use to even a large stage demonstration, with an abundance of practical examples that you can just "print and perform".

There are also many ideas and suggestions to enable you to customize the effects for your needs and performing preferences. While it would not be practical to perform more than one of these effects in a single show, once you understand...

Coco Mentalism here stands for coinless coin mentalism. This routine is shown using an imaginary penny, dime, and nickel of US currency. But you can use any 3 different coins of your own country's currency. No physical coins are used. Everything is in the participant's imagination. This routine starts with an imaginary penny, dime, and nickel and ends with an imaginary bitcoin.

You will also be able to leave a nice souvenir with your participant in the form of your business card with the image of a bitcoin on the back side of...

This is a powerful mind reading routine that has an emotional appeal based on the theme of endangered languages and the poignancy of their potential extinction.

On one side of the double-blank business card, you have some endangered languages and on the other side, you have some...

Here the selected card is found using either the spectator's zodiac sign or the month in which the spectator was born. Self-working. No sleights. Any deck, even a borrowed one.

This is a quick and powerful mentalism routine using a list of banned books. There is a one-time preparation of a single double blank business card or index card or postcard. Or you can even carry this effect on your mobile phone.

The performer introduces the theme of banned books - "Words can be dangerous. Written, published and placed in the wrong hands - words can kill. Some of the most dangerous words ever written are inside these books on this card. These books were deemed dangerous at different points of time by different establishments. They were banned and censored for various reasons." ...

This book documents Sinclair's test of his second wife, Mary Craig Sinclair, psychic abilities. She had an interest in the occult. She attempted to duplicate 290 pictures that her brother drew. Sinclair claimed Mary successfully duplicated 65, with 155 "partial successes" and 70 failures. However, critics pointed out that the experiments were not sufficiently controlled allowing for example sensory leakage. One such critic, Martin Gardner, wrote:

"As Mental Radio stands, it is a highly unsatisfactory account of conditions surrounding the clairvoyancy tests. Throughout his entire life, Sinclair has been...

A quick and easy packet trick for those with analytical minds. An envelope containing a prediction is introduced, along with seven cards, each displaying a different number. You explain that there is something written behind each card, but that will be revealed later.

The cards are then arranged in two rows - one with four cards and the other with three. The participant is asked to eliminate one of the rows, and you turn over the cards in that row, revealing that you had predicted which row they would choose.

Next, the participant pairs one card from the remaining row with any other...

A different approach to Tarot readings.

There are literally hundreds of books written on the Tarot, but this is probably the only one with a "streetwise" approach. This unorthodox system describes a more realistic, down-to-earth attitude to the Tarot, based on practicality rather than the more common metaphysical theories.

This is not to say that there is no spiritual element to this method. It encourages an attitude of empathy and compassion, which the author believes is essential for a Tarot reader. There is an entire chapter on the ethics of Tarot reading, a topic that is rarely, if...

This is an impromptu mentalism effect handled as a simple packet trick, involving an amazing first phase based on a prediction and a great final surprise. The conjurer, after showing nine cards of Spades, from Ace to 9, shuffles them and has a spectator cut the pack. Holding it facedown, the magician chooses one card without showing it, leaving it in view as his prediction. He has the spectator cut the remaining pack (of eight...

What was a $5 bargain in 1952 is a bigger bargain today. This valuable product should cost $59 when adjusted for inflation and we are selling it for only $12.

Excerpt from the foreword:

Now for a lousy five bucks, you can take the Counting Feint to a whole other world - a world filled with Tarot cards, mystic occultism and a crazed British madman, Aleister Crowley.

Consulting my Tarot cards, I know you will embrace my shameless hyperbole and fork out the lousy five bucks for Addendum #1 to TCF: The Counting Feint. It's a real deal.

The Addendum consists of four routines involving Tarot cards and a single killer card effect, "Blankjack" (even dice get in the show in some effects).

Any one of the routines will be sure to impress that girl in the bar with the inverted pentagram tattooed on...

The binary effect I always performed the most was called Binary Squares and it combined the binary effect with the Magic Square effect in a unique way. I have always considered this a very special effect and not only one of my best but the most enjoyable of all of my effects to perform. However, this didn't mean that there wasn't room for improvement. So I spent some time working on this, adding some new reveals, refining it, and road-testing it. Also, all the procedures that can so easily telegraph the method of binary style effects have been so well disguised that the final revelations are...

The Sync Book Test is a completely impromptu book test routine you can do anywhere and anytime borrowing any two books, provided with a consistent presentation that makes it a powerful test to see how much the mentalist and participant are in tune. The routine consists of a number and a word coincidence, but it creates the conditions to continue with a demonstration of telepathy that looks like another coincidence: the mentalist is thinking of the very word chosen randomly by the participant.

Here is the act as the audience sees it:

A participant freely selects two books from a library,...

Can you recognize a wine just by its smell? Can you do it blindfolded? Can you do it without wine?

You write on three billets the name of your favorite wines (let's say for example "Gevrey-Chambertin", "Pommard", "Saint-Emilion") and display them in front of your participant. As you turn your back, you ask the participant to switch two of the "wines". And two more. It can be any two. And again, and again and again...When the participant is convinced that the wines are properly mixed, you face him, blindfolded, and ask him to hand you the "wines" one by one. You're then able to recognize...
