Propless

This is an intro price and will go up to $18 from July 6th, 2021.

At its core, this is a quick, high-impact propless piece that you can deploy in almost any situation like on a voice call, in a virtual show, face to face close up, parlour, street etc. The performer divines a word being thought of by a participant.

But the true power is in its mind-boggling range of possibilities. You can literally plant about 48000 different possible words in a participant's mind and seemingly read their mind to exactly divine that word. The combination of principles is so flexible that you can again literally...

"A fascinating, practical new technique for deciphering people's thoughts without them even saying a word. I love it! And all mentalists need to learn it." - Dan Harlan

"What a wonderful entertaining way to perform a horoscope divination. I was captivated by the entire presentation, the principle is wonderful, and I'm looking forward to using it." - Richard Webster

"When I watched Voiceless demonstrated by Ali I was baffled. When I read the book It opened a whole world of possibilities. This is something you want to keep in your arsenal of knowledge and pull it out when you need. Great for virtual or real in...

"Again the Unknown Mentalist makes it all known. This is a brilliant, almost intuitive, application of a great effect. It also includes options and steps to truly make it personalized. I love this." - Marc Salem

"This is a very nice pin revelation using a well known method perfectly disguised." - Luca Volpe

The effect from the participant's view: The performer gives his locked phone to the participant to hold. Then the performer...

In I Miss Charlotte Ali Foroutan shares 5 routines, ideas, some new principles and techniques to divine your spectators thoughts with no props. Some of these will use a pen and paper but your spectator never writes anything down. What makes this release different to the rest? In this ebook you will learn new ways on how to know what letter someone is thinking of with no props whatsoever. You will learn how to divine thought of words with basically no process at all. And yes, most of these principles and routines are 100% sure fire.

"I just read the first effect, Charlotte's mind. This is...

The participant takes 2 decks. One red backed and other blue backed. Then discards approx half the cards in each deck, and chooses a card from one of the half decks and keeps it in the other half deck. Finally hands over the half deck with the different colored back selection in it, to the performer. And you miraculously know her selection in that half deck.

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

1. Both the performer and participant are on both sides of a voice call.
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...

ReDD is a remote drawing duplication effect which can be performed over a voice phone call, video call, virtual show and also, of course, in face to face performing situations. ReDD also qualifies as a propless effect as there are no props used and both the performer and the participant are only 'interacting' with each other, either over a call or face to face. A piece of paper which may be used to jot down a choice is just incidental and is not necessary.

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

An elegant propless force with a multitude of applications. Force X is a powerful and flexible tool which can be used in multiple ways. This force can be used for both propless effects as well as for face to face performance routines.

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 methods and presentation are new and different from those given in Propless ACAAN (Vol 1). Again, this is absolutely propless ACAAN. No deck. No props at all. And this is an almost self-working propless ACAAN. Just you the performer and the participant on a voice call. That's it.

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...

CAUTION: This is so powerful that you could start your own cult. So you must perform this effect with great wisdom, absolute ethics, high maturity and complete responsibility. The author is not liable for any contingent outcomes of your performances, you yourself are solely responsible for it.

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 performer asks a participant to play an imaginary game over a voice phone call. The participant may be thousands of miles away at the other end of the call. The participant makes several free choices but all in her mind alone, she does not say anything out loud. But the final result is already predicted by the performer in a very innovative manner. The climax can be very visual if you choose that option in performance. The participant is stunned with the outcome. The participant even gets to keep a memorable 'souvenir' after the routine.

This can be performed over a video call or even...

This is a propless and surefire star sign divination method suitable for performing over a voice phone call. It uses a novel and clever method called SignZEN to divine the star sign of a participant on the other end of a call, maybe thousands of miles away. This refreshing principle is not known to have been used in this manner before. Of course, this routine can be performed in face to face situations also with appropriate adjustments. You can even perform this over a text chat or on a video call.

It is clarified upfront that this method is totally different from Signature, Propless Sign Divination, Zodiac Gods, Happy Birthday Stranger, Star Signature, Elemental 1 & 2, Birthday Calendar and 59 Second Birthday Divination by...

A path breaking approach to the classic effect. No props needed.

"I think your Propless Bank Night is brilliant !!" - Marc Salem

"The idea of the anagram is very good. This concept can also be used with classic bank night routines. Well done and stay safe." - Luca Volpe

The power of words, imagination and visualization in real manners....

The master of Propless Mentalism, Peter Turner now offers a full series in this topic.

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...

So far Vol 1. Psychological Card Forces was the most successful eBook of the series. Based on that Peter Turner decided to dedicate one more volume to psychological forces. In this volume Peter teaches you how to force anything. Volume 7 covers how to force places, numbers, countries, names, even imaginary dice throw outcomes and many more.

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:

• Piggybacking Principle
• Forcing Places/Countries
• The Pause and...

Seeing Signs is Fraser's ground breaking solution to the prop-less star sign divination plot, as featured in Peter Turner's PDF course vol. 9: Zodiac Divinations.

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.

This is a deception based on a verbal ruse which may not work all the time.

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...

Sync is the perfect method for guessing a name completely prop-less.

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...

Over the last few years of devising conversational mentalism material Mark has developed several routines that are so powerful that they each demand a separate release. The first of this new Private Release series is titled Fooling With Freud and is a 100% practical piece of cutting-edge mentalism.

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...

As close to real billet-less name guess.

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,...

Utsukushii, the billet-less pin reveal, is a sure fire way to guess a single digit number someone is only thinking of, without anything having to be written down or props of any kind. It can then be used to work out other numbers such as pin codes, phone locks and entire phone numbers. If you would like to be able to reveal the pin numbers of strangers you meet or guess numbers which only exist as thoughts in a person's mind, using only words, then this method is for you. NO dual reality is used. NO stooges or instant stooges. It can be used close up or on stage with a 100% success rate. It's...

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.

Ever wanted to read minds of others in a hassle-free way? There have been hundreds of excellent methods in existence for extracting thoughts from people's minds. Mentalists have been "nailing" the thoughts of others, "tearing" into others' brains, having a "peek" into peoples' minds for a long time now. Imagine what it would be like if there's no need to resort to such methods. Imagine what it would be like if you are looking for the information just where you need to look? Here's something revolutionary for you.

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

A novel mental force.

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...
