Easily one of the most remarkable mentalism card routines you will ever perform!
Two participants select two cards from a shuffled deck. The deck is again shuffled and mixed. It is clear it is not marked (it could even be a borrowed deck) and not stacked in any way. The cards are placed face-down in front of each participant. Using telepathy, the mentalist proceeds to read their minds and discern the cards that each possesses. The mentalist then removes what he or she believes to be the "mates" of each participant's freely selected card and places them unambiguously on the table face-down next to the spectators' face-down selections. The participants agree that they have been in control of the cards the entire time, freely shuffling and cutting the deck to be sure nothing tell-tale could leave the performer any hints of the identity of their cards.
The cards are slowly turned over ...
The telepathic reading has been successful. The mentalist has matched each card with its mate! Amazingly, it appears that the mentalist never touches the cards until the moment the mates are removed from the deck.
Pair-a-Gon is an amazing new thought-of-card(s) routine that has been one of the biggest hits of Michael's new mentalism lecture. It can even be performed on stage or in parlor settings using Jumbo Cards. The easy-to-do non-sleight method will melt the brains of mentalism and card workers; the lay public does not stand a chance.
This fantastic manuscript will not only teach you the effect just described plus all the psychological nuances needed to make it the hit of your show but also goes into depth teaching Michael's easy-to-learn, easy-to-execute version of Harry Lorayne's "Epitome Location."
Marc DeSouza has commented that "Mike's explanation is the best explanation ever of Harry's 'Epitome Location.' You will finally understand how it works and more importantly, how to apply it through Mike's 'EZ-Epitome Technique: The Paragon Card Location."
You will also learn a couple of amazing new forces you will use: Mike's "Hip-Hof Force" and Mike's easy, sure-fire classic force method "The Neo-Classic Force."
Here's what Bob Farmer said about Pair-a-Gon:
"This is quite an analysis. Excellent work. I played around with all the references many years ago and then decided it would be easier to just force a card! However, this takes the method into something much more entertaining. Good work. By the way, maybe change 'EPITOME' to 'EPITOYOU'!"
