Wait a minute. Here are the other conditions of this effect.

2. Both the decks in play are completely imaginary decks.
3. The participant does all this silently and...

"ZOOMentalism is absolutely f*** brilliant! Congrats! The Lotto trick alone is worth many times the price of the whole thing." - Alexander De Cova

Magicians - please don't be put off that the title of this ebook includes the word 'mentalism'. This material is for everyone.

At the time of writing...

The mind reader poses several fun questions to a participant and also describes several activities. The participant mentally and silently...

Here it is used for doing a "verbal drawing duplication" where a participant on a voice call is finally thinking of the flag of a country and you divine the design of the flag - color by color, and finally reveal the country too. Starting with a bunch of flags, all imaginary, the participant finally ends up imagining the flag of a country. The process is unlike...

"NelO has created a very effective method for the Think Of A Card plot, I will be using this!" - Ran Pink

"Once you tried it by yourself, you will not believe your eyes how clean it is. This is one of the purest routines I've ever seen in mentalism." - Shiro lshida

You ask the spectator to imagine a card, and with...

The effect from the participant's view: The performer and participant send some thoughts back and forth silently between them about a number and a playing card. The participant then imagines a deck of playing cards, shuffles the deck a couple of times and hands it over the phone to the performer (its an imaginary deck, remember)....

"This is virtual magic, mentalism and theory at its very best. You are a real deep thinker" - Marc Salem

As the name suggests, Thought Trajectory is an effect which is like a chain of thoughts in the mind of the participant. The mind reader is not aware of the starting point, nor the process, nor the end result, apparently. Everything happens...

"I really like how you made a psychological force more surefire. It is really an interesting concept. Well done." - Luca Volpe

"At it's core this is a VERY direct way to verbally make a spectator think of a specific number. It's a useful and clever idea to know and an important contribution to the area of propless mentalism." - Marc Paul

The effect from the participant's view: The performer sends some...

SCENARIO : The performer and participant are on both ends of a voice call separated by maybe thousands of miles. The participant is holding an imaginary deck of playing cards and follows instructions of the performer. The objective of the participant is to know the answer to a question she has, related...

The definition of Propless Mentalism is, at best, arguable (this is discussed in length inside this volume). The definition that Peter has stuck closely to is: the participant never writes anything down, and the only time the mentalist writes anything is to reveal information.

Peter has tried to make the material as sure-fire as possible (not chancy or bold), whilst keeping the process as small as possible - no long-winded, drawn-out presentations. If the presentation isn't as quick as (if not faster...

In this volume, there are many contributions. You will learn routines from Morgan Stebler, Pablo Amira, Sean Waters, Art Vanderlay and Rus Andrews. Peter Turner gives additional commentary for all the routines.

This eBook contains the following:

Yes, Fraser has done it again. He's applied his ingenious thought process and approach to prop-less mentalism to create one of the most elegant, beautifully streamlined versions of the star sign divination plot - to date.

Fraser is now sharing, for the first time outside of his close circle of friends, his most up to date arrangement for guessing names and star signs completely prop-less.

You say a few lines of scripting and you are able to instantly divine practically anything the spectator is thinking of. Method and effect work seamlessly together to create a bold and beautiful deception that relies on fooling those who you perform for via perception.

No naming of letters, anagrams or running through...

Have you ever wanted to create the illusion of being able to hypnotize someone to lose the ability to write? Well, this method does exactly that, and it is super simple. Even if your spectator is a Harvard PhD in English, she will not be able to write one word on the paper. She won't even be able to put the pencil on the paper - her brain will simply refuse to process information - welcome, to One Word. This method has nothing to do with the paper, nothing to do with the pencil or pen, and everything to do with your...

I recently went back to my notebooks to an older idea I had for guessing a name without the spectator ever having to say a word and after a few days of playing with scripting all of the pieces of the jigsaw finally fell into place.

It is now possible to guess any name or word thought of by the spectator without them ever having to name letters or words associated with letters from the name - in fact, they can stay completely silent throughout the entire process.

The method itself is pure simplicity and is possibly...

As per the Conversation As Mentalism ethos you don't need to carry any props; this is a pure three-phase routine of direct mindreading - it doesn't use playing cards, iPhones, peek devices, stooges, guessing or the law of averages.

What is the effect? In increasingly arbitrary ways, the participant...

Then rejoice! Mark Elsdon's new Conversation As Mentalism Volume 3 is just what you're looking for.

You will learn a brand new mind-game using a single borrowed key, a killer card trick with no cards, an impossible coincidence in time, the best impromptu coin prediction, an utterly incredible memory stunt and much more.

All in all, nine brand new effects that have been designed with one outcome in mind - to amaze whoever you are talking to without the aid of any...

Imagine... In the course of a routine, during a close up performance, you get the spectator to focus on the name of someone close to them. They name a few random letters, including letters from the name. The name is not written down anywhere and exists only in their mind. And you instantly tell them the name they are thinking of.

This is exactly what you DO. There are no billets, tears or peeks. Simply the words you use and the illusion they create, are all you need to be able to accurately guess a name, most of the time. Like real mind reading,...

Well, good news! Mark Elsdon's new Conversation As Mentalism Volume 2 contains more of the tried and tested material that made the original volume so popular. (No 'suggestion' techniques are used in these effects. They all actually work all the time.)

Well, good news! Conversation As Mentalism contains tried and tested material that you can start to use immediately.

The participant's experience of what occurs during these casual performance pieces is this: during the course of an interesting conversation, things take an odd turn and something strange and completely inexplicable happens.

Maybe you read their mind about a film they've seen or a book they've read. Maybe it's a simple verbal game that...

Imagine requesting a spectator to take part in a demonstration on Thought Projection....

A spectator thinks of a card and changes it to a new one, in his/her mind. You predicted it, or you name it BEFORE the spectator names his/her own card!".

Impromptu - Anytime, Anywhere. Perfect for informal and casual setting, or when you have NOTHING with you (It can be performed naked on the beach!). You can also use this as a "warm up" experiment, to open your mentalism act.

No fishing or "PA" - Nothing needed, no cards, no props. Pure mind reading. Can fool performers as well.

It is not 100%. Most of the time (80% approximately based on probabilities and...
