Propless Name and Place in 45 Seconds by Unknown Mentalist

This Name and Place effect is propless, gaffless, effortless, self-working and will take about 45 seconds to perform and destroy your participant.

You walk up to an utter stranger. Ask her to create an imaginary person in her mind. Also ask her to give that imaginary person an imaginary name and an imaginary place, which could literally be anywhere in the world. All this happens in her mind and she reveals absolutely nothing. And you read her mind and reveal that imaginary name and imaginary place. How powerful would that be?

This effect feels exactly like that to your participant. You start your patter by saying "Let us try what is called 3 dimensional telepathy. It is 3 dimensional because it involves 3 minds - my mind, your mind and the mind of an imaginary person - a person whom you will create in your imagination."

No anagrams, no math, no memory work. No preshow and no stooges. No peeks, no one ahead, no multiple outs. Packs very small in your mind and plays very big in the participant's mind.

It is very interesting when an idea can polarize opinions to both extremes. It indicates that the idea has merit, imo. So my curiosity made me pick this up. I like the simple brilliance of the core principle. The routine has a well designed structure and flows smoothly. Personally, I would like to use a couple of my business cards instead of keeping it purely propless. I would also prefer to use two participants - one for name and another for place. The link up to the Vampire Diaries web series is a nice touch. I took this for a test run briefly and I am happy with the results. This is worthy of my time and money, imo.

Too contrived for my taste. Too much process. If you know Turner’s “Guess Who”, it’s along the same lines with a whole lot more process as well as reading a bank of names for spec to choose from. Not my cup of tea.

This was a joy to perform. I did this on my team mates (helping on my thesis) right after I read the pdf and it went very well. I'm a fan of propless effects (read quite a bit of Peter Turner, Phedon Bilek, Fraser Parker etc) and this one is very different - direct, short and automatic and easy to perform - a rare combo in propless effects. The premise of the participants creating an imaginary name and an imaginary place for an imaginary person is quite engaging and powerful. I plan to add some bits of my own script to personalize it, of course. This is a "quick hard punch" like effect for anytime use at a great price. This will now be in my go to propless toolbox.

This is not really like advertised. It uses a very contrived process that is nothing I would use. Not worth the money. The only deceptive thing about it is the way it's advertised.
