Mentalism & Spiritism

"As a creator, I have a tendency to pass up on 99% of all releases and instead only take interest in those which offer me a fresh set of tools to play with...If you are looking for a wonderful impromptu mental mystery to add to your repertoire, or are looking for some new techniques to play with, you won't be disappointed here!" -Michael Murray

"I had no idea how he could have any valuable information...The more I thought about it, the more perplexed I was. It was IMPOSSIBLE. There was absolutely no way he could know anything." - Madison Hagler

PRIZE is a quick, impromptu propless piece that you can perform anytime, anywhere to anyone. You can do this face to face in close-up, street, or parlor. Or you can also do this in a virtual show on zoom etc. You can even just do this over a voice phone call or video call if you like.

This is easy to learn, easy to perform but way up there in terms of sheer impact. Every new person you meet is a potential victim for you to perform this effect. Your victim's surprise will be your 'prize'. You will perform a stunning "Zen Mind Hack"...

Performer displays a Rubik's cube-like card with various colors and numbers one through nine. He invites a participant to select any square while the performer is turned away. Their number represents how many moves (up, down, left, or right) they must make to land on a different or the same number.

They then think of a two-digit number, based upon the square they are on, and turn the card over to reveal numerous male and female names. They locate and remember the name next to their number.

The performer (without any questions asked) can now reveal the gender and the name the volunteer...

Psychic entertainers, here are six more mentalism treasures for your collection, from the Nelson Enterprises vault. Volume 7 contains five mental magic manuscripts from Robert A. Nelson and a bonus: the "Master Memory" stunt, originally released by Bob Sherman. All were featured in the famous Nelson Enterprises catalog, and have been edited and updated for a new generation of performers and audiences. Here's what's included:

Any Spectator Becomes the Mindreader #512 - Mindreading in reverse. A spectator and unbelievable effect wherein any spectator reads the mindreader's mind. A strictly...

The spectator is allowed to freely call out random numbers. Through a fair process of elimination, he arrives at a single digit. This number matches exactly a prediction that you have written down previously. This is an easy, foolproof method for apparently reading the spectator's thoughts.

1st edition 2022, PDF 4 pages, video 39 seconds.

This is one of the most amazing things you will ever see. Looks like real mind-reading. A spectator is given a copy of a newspaper. It can be your local paper. The paper is not gimmicked in any way. The spectator chooses a paragraph from the front page. No force. He reads the first few words and spells each word to himself. The magician instantly reveals the words the person read. This is a little-known principle that Al Mann developed in 1979 that will fool magicians.

It's a show-stopper. Use any newspaper. No pre-show, done on the spot with any person. Can be done long-distance over zoom calls....

It's a phone trick that doesn't require a phone. You display a contact list with various names, both male and female (no two names are alike). A participant freely selects one (without the performer seeing) and just thinks of one of the names. After the spectator selects an action (accept, decline, block, ignore, text) and checks the list of names that goes with that action, the performer is able to reveal the sex and the thought of name. Some added bonus reveals are included (thought of time). No anagrams, no maths, no peeks.

1st edition 2022, PDF 5 pages.

[Note: You do not need to own volume 1 to be able to perform the routines explained here.

Welcome to volume 2 of my Billets for the Modern Mindreader course. You will learn three switches and three routines for close-up, parlor, and stage situations, as well as casual settings.

Billet Chi (Nestor Dee): Probably the holy grail of predictions with billets. Borrow three business cards and you can do the routine. Trust me, this is great.

Telepathy Plus (Theodore Annemann): A classic revisited. A three-phase mind-reading routine. (Also doable with three borrowed business cards.)

S.E.E. (Julien Losa): A practical and quick routine to get...

With Souvenirs d'Italie I have wanted to remember and celebrate the old, beloved tourist postcards that were the backdrop to everyone's holidays, those who lived them and those who received them indirectly, almost as an achievement for a promise kept.

Souvenir d'Italie is an effect that makes it possible to make an impossible prediction: one Italian city out of the eight depicted on the postcard is chosen, or even only thought of, by a spectator, who holds them in a bunch in his hands.

The spectator will have to distribute them face down on the table, covered by their respective place...

Deadlift! No ... not the heavy compound movement that works for multiple muscle groups. Instead, this is a hard-hitting piece of mentalism that looks very clean. It is a hands-off impossible card divination that can be done with any regular deck and no gimmicks.

You riffle shuffle the cards. While your back is turned they cut to a card, they memorize it, and they bury it somewhere in the deck. You turn around, and with 100% accuracy, you can go through the cards and remove their thought-of card.

To perform this effect, you will need a very small setup that takes only a few seconds. ...

With Bending Minds 2 continues the collection of effects centered on the principle of the binary system, according to a new and innovative vision. From this second volume on, not only playing cards will be used to tell our magical stories, but also simple notes or some business cards.

We present four more effects, two with cards and two with notes, with a number of elements varying from 4 to 8. Throughout the course of the effect, the cards are subject to a dynamic, the positions are constantly changing, each time in a different way. Even more than in the first volume you will be able to...

Propless T.O.P stands for Propless Tossed Out Places. And it makes use of a "topless prop". Suitable venues are virtual shows and stage shows where audience members are from about 20 to about 2000 numbers. You can perform this as a purely propless effect or as an 'almost' propless effect using the "topless prop". This works great as both an opener or a closer. Propless TOP can also be adapted very easily to close up and parlor shows.

The method is completely self-working and presentation is the key. You can play this in a 'tossed out deck' effect style or you can also play this as a pseudo...

This PDF will teach you how to apply the SpyCat principle to a commercial peek wallet (ex. Jak, Razor, Shadow, Hermes wallet), but not the know-how on how to convert a minimalistic wallet to a peek wallet. For that, you will have to buy the SpyCat Wallet eBook/video. (If you already own the original SpyCat ebook you can purchase this supplement for half price. Discount will be automatically taken in the shopping cart.)

Dr. Q not only tells you how to describe objects in detail after having been heavily blindfolded with cotton pads and heavy adhesive tapes, but he also tells you how to present the act in its most effective fashion and what to say while presenting it.

Yes, here is the whole secret of this act, described in detail, plus complete patter and presentation. Half dollars (borrowed and unprepared) may first be placed over the eyelids. Then more than half a dozen strips of adhesive tape are placed over the eyes and pressed down tightly at all points. (Tape is also unprepared and may be borrowed.)...

A demonstration of enhanced empathic/telepathic awareness and influence ideal for casual events with an unknown audience.

There are three different approaches for presenting this routine: Triple Influence, Prelude and Embrace. The latter two use advanced techniques of Aware&Cue,...

Multiple outs is one of the oldest, classic, and powerful tools in mentalism. Several classic effects and routines in the history of mentalism and magic are built around multiple outs. Some of the standard tools like a pocket index were born out of this very concept of multiple outs.

In this manuscript, we will explore the 'DOUBT' method for constructing multiple outs. This is a technique or strategy which makes multiple outs much easier and more effective for many situations. This technique uses double blank business cards and uses the core nature of these double blank cards very potently....

Here's what your audience sees: You take a stack of business cards and show them on both sides then hand one to a volunteer to draw a picture, write a word, print a number, or even write a question, there are no restrictions. The stack is turned blank side up and their card dropped drawing side down on top. It is then fairly cut to the center where it remains reversed in the middle at all times.

Even under these conditions you can get a full card peek, reveal the information and yet still show their card reversed in the center whenever you wish.

Finally, you run through the stack and...

The Four Mystery Presents: Influence is a follow-up effect from a previous release. It is a three-phase card-matching mentalism routine that demonstrates your ability to influence the cards of the participant.

• No sleights
• No secret markings
• No gimmicks
• Very little memory work
• The participant has freedom in the mixing process

This effect exploits the different uses of my newly developed method featured in my book The Four Mystery Presents: Remote Viewing. The method enables you to have the participant mix the cards, and yet, the mentalist is still able to determine and control the possible outcomes.

1st edition 2021,...

Baby Bingo is unlike traditional bingo where someone calls out letters, followed by numbers until someone yells BINGO! In Baby Bingo no letters are required and only one number is needed to get a bingo. A random participant thinks of any number from one to thirty. If they see their number on a card, that's a bingo and places it face-down. Cards that do not have their number, they put aside (in their pocket or purse). The performer looks away while they look through the cards.

The participant is directed to a prediction that coincides with how many bingo cards would have their lucky number....

With this keychain in your pocket, you are always ready to perform a miracle...

The effects of mentalism on the phone have become, for me, in the last two years, almost an obsession! This effect is a creation of my friend Boyet Vargas, The Four Card Mystery; my version is none other than the "telephone" version, with only the audio connection, it is my modest contribution to the diffusion of Vargas excellent work! The goal is to conduct the entire routine without being able to "eye" the cards in any way; the "forcing" is necessary and must be masked with an appropriate introduction: I have invented two, which I consider effective, which I propose below.

VISUAL TELEPATHY (with ESP cards drawn by...
