Simple yet powerful. Great for walk around.
Trinity Force
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Paul Young (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Friday 18 February, 2022)
This force is not at all what I expected. It feels contrived and difficult to motivate for your audience in the first place, and for all that work you get not one “clean” and precise force but three (hence the moniker “trinity”—I admit, I should have seen that coming) that you then must manage. I’m sure that much more skilled people than I could use this force nicely, but for a rank amateur like myself, it’s not a useful tool.

Not a new idea (or perhaps new with blank business cards). The suggested applications are too mathematical and not very interesting for me.
Propless Vaccine

Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Saturday 04 September, 2021)
This eBook is something I wish I picked up sooner. I like the method very well. If you like this you might as well buy Propless Signtist as well because they both use similar methodology. WELL DONE UNKNOWN MENTALIST!!!
Her Majesty Deck
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by David Burmeister (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Saturday 29 May, 2021)
The UNKNOWN MENTALIST has done it again. First of all who say they hate Mathematics, I know a lot of people do not think they are good at Mathematics. I believe if I remember correctly that in one of Al Mann's Mentalisim Manuscripts that a reporter asked Richard Himber "How do Mentalist's read minds?" Richard Himber's reply was "By Mathematics." I think that many Mentalist's put the blame on the technique rather than simplifying everything for the spectator to easily understand. In my opinion this goes for Progressive and Branching Anagrams also. My main thought here is The UNKNOWN MENTALIST has put together another Card Stack that is absolutely a well thought out Stack that is well worth $6.00 and even more. Of all the Card stacks I have of his I am only one that I don't use at all. Well done UNKNOWN Mentalist. PLEASE!!! keep putting out your card stacks and other material.

Maybe someday I’ll learn. Probably not. I have yet to buy something by the Unknown Mentalist that I’ve been happy with. Like most magic trailers the descriptions always leave out a lot of the process work. Had I seen a demo or a full description of what really happens there is no way I’d buy it. As it is there is no way I’ll do this for anyone. Suffice it to say there is math involved that was never mentioned in the description, making it, at least to me, more of a puzzle than mentalism.
I always ask myself if I could really read minds is this what I’d do? This one rates a solid NO.
Virtual Add a Number
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by David Burmeister (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Sunday 17 January, 2021)
This was gifted to me from UNME. It is an easy routine that is designed for entertaining the BELIEVERS and NON BELIEVERS. The nice thing is that you have an add a number effect that can be done under ANY situations. VIRTUAL SITUATIONS or REAL PROGRAM SITUATIONS. Well done UNKNOWN MENTALIST. I recommend this very highly.
Lifecraft

Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Sunday 17 January, 2021)
This Ebook was gifted to me from UNME. It is a lighthearted mentalism effect that will bring joy to the spectator in spite of all the COVID VIRUS in this world. It is not hard to do and is worth the cost. Well done UNKNOWN MENTALIST.

Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Sunday 17 January, 2021)
This was given to me as a gift from UNME. There is a LOT in this book that you can use. Especially if you do Zodiac / Star signs and is well worth your money. It sounds like you have cold reading skills. All you have to do is memorize some of the material in this book and use it with your favorite Zodiac sign divination. There is even suggestions on how to learn the order of the Star Signs. Well done UNKNOWN MENTALIST.
Straphanger
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by David Burmeister (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Sunday 10 January, 2021)
The UNKNOWN MENTALIST has done it again. This is worth the price if you want a DYNAMITE EFFECT. Imagine the spectators reaction when you tell them a country they are thinking of. It is well worth your money. If you like this you may like THE DARK CORNERS RESEARCH PROJECT, WORLDS WITHIN WORDS, and THE GROW DEVILS PRINCIPLE also by THE UNKNOWN MENTALIST. I am very familiar with all of them. I recommend this very highly. Well done UNKNOWN MENTALIST.
Know Stack
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by David Burmeister (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Sunday 10 January, 2021)
This is another Card Stack that is priceless to the performer. If you like Fun Stack, SLOKA DECK, KALEN DECK, you will love this stack too.
I liked it so much that I stayed up until 2:30 AM last night working on my own personal Number Stack and SOS 3 out of the KARMA DECK PRO for the SUIT STACK. It takes a bit of work to personalize it as your own but is well worth it. This and the SLOKA deck will be a couple of a few favorites. This is worth the money in my opinion and they will be yours also. Great job UNKNOWN MENTALIST.
Propless Pin Pricks
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by David Burmeister (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Sunday 10 January, 2021)
This is another nice propless effect from THE UNKNOWN MENTALIST. I believe that you need to have a commanding personality to pull this off. The idea for this has been around in various forms for many years. This is a somewhat updated version. I need to think about how I'm going to present this before I use it myself. Having said all this I recommend that you buy this. The material gives you a LOT of ways to present the various effects so the price is very little for what you get. Well done UNKNOWN MENTALIST.
Echo Force
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Garry Darby (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Wednesday 14 October, 2020)
Hi, I have just downloaded “Echo Force”. I am disappointed. This seems an incredibly complex and complicated system for any force. I can’t see it having any use for me. I have been more than happy with all the other downloads I have purchased.
Force X
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by David Burmeister (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Saturday 22 August, 2020)
Again, Well done UNKNOWN MENTALIST ! I personally believe FORCE X is well done and will have quite an outstanding effect for the spectators. Also, I believe that most of your other effects in this area are equally effective and impressive to people. These are nice effects with the Covid Virus going on. Especially for the price these would be great additions to anyone's mentalism library. The only suggestion that I have is that I would like to see these eBook's printed without the background ink color on the pages because it takes a lot of ink to print these. Having said this, I give these effects my highest rating.

Usually you get better info on how the effect my fit you in performance from the reviews that are critical of the effect. An all glorious review do not help that much...
13 Steps to Mind Maintenance for Magicians and Mentalists
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by James Perry (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Sunday 02 August, 2020)
I have been a fan of the Unknown Mentalist for some time now. The several effects I have purchased from this person have all been fantastic. This free gift being offered will help anyone new to mentalism get started on the right foot. It's a great introduction to what the Unknown Mentalist has to offer.
Mind Spark 6: Audio Peek
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Fred Rosenbaum (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Wednesday 29 July, 2020)
This is an effect for the working pro, not something you’ll fool the boys at the club with. You need to be in communication with your client (or train your assistant) and it doesn’t always work (TUM claims 75% but that seems high to me) but when it does you have a miracle.
When I was working at a video game company I accidentally used this method and ended up saving the company several millions of dollars so I know it works sometimes and when it does it can be priceless. For the current price of free or even the regular $6 price for the right person it is worth it.
Propless Tarot
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by David Burmeister (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Saturday 25 July, 2020)
This is another winner by the UNKNOWN MENTALIST, at least to me anyway. With the COVID virus here this will be a great effect to do by phone or maintaining a space between you and the spectator. I believe it will also sound quite believable to the average layperson. Well done UNKNOWN MENTALIST.

This is another GREAT deck stack that belongs in every mentalists collection. I don't know how the UNKNOWN MENTALIST has a gift to come up with these stacked decks but it's a steal at the price. I recommend it very highly. Well done UNKNOWN MENTALIST!
Deckless Divination
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Karsten Meyerhoff (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Thursday 09 July, 2020)
First of all, it needs to be said that all the claims made (no stooges, no peeks, ...) are true. Well, the playing card is not entirely freely thought of, but that doesn't take away too much. Other than that, the effect really plays out the way it is described, it is self-working and at 6$ - and even more at 3$, which is the special intro price I paid - you can't go wrong. You get an effect that requires nothing but a double-blank card - business card or otherwise - and you get an effect that should play very well.
There is one thing, though, that I think needs to be mentioned: The way the effect is described, it only works in the English language. If you want to adapt it to another language - German in my case - that is certainly possible, but needs some tweaking, tweaking that some crossword-solving-help-websites (if that is a name at all ...) can help you with. And while you are at it, fiddling around with words, you discover that there are a lot of other possibilities for word-play - so, that may even be an advantage ...

Simple, straightforward, easy to do with a nice effect on the spectator. Well worth it. Also, a possible use for the new Tyvek Himber Envelope if you choose to head that route.
Propless ACAAN
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Ernest Hampson (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Sunday 21 June, 2020)
This sounded too good to be true. It was. I took a shot. What can I say? Method is pretty obvious to spectator imho. I've gotten some good stuff from Lybrary, so an occasional miss isn't going to turn me off.
PRIC: Propless Remote Instant Cartomancy
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by David Burmeister (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Saturday 13 June, 2020)
THE UNKNOWN MENTALIST HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!! I believe this is a GREAT effect for anyone interested in creating the illusion of doing a reading. My personal approach since I'm very serious natured is dropping the jokes about dropping the cards etc...however, if you want to make it more lighthearted then use the jokes. I haven't used this yet but I predict that the spectators reactions will be priceless. THE UNKNOWN MENTALIST has created a way to use this basically without memorizing anything and I believe that was unheard of until now. Having said that, I will personally prefer to copying the reading sheet so I can do this one on one with the spectator, hopefully, when we can meet with people after the corona virus is over. Of course, I will have to memorize all the information for the script. The big thing is that this is so versatile on how you want to do this effect you can't loose. The main thing is whether you choose to use this or not...YOU CAN'T LOSE, ESPECIALLY FOR THE VALUE OF THE EFFECT RIGHT NOW! This has my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION. The UNKNOWN MENTALIST should have charged more for this. Get the effect NOW before it goes up in price.
Psychabulary
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Giovanni Iuliani (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Wednesday 10 June, 2020)
While it might be useful to someone unimaginative, there are more creative answers in one of Robert Nelson's books. Furthermore, while a few bucks might appear like a cheap price to pay, your manuscript boils down to just about one page. The other 21 pages act like a sponge and drinks-up more ink then one can imagine. Just have the damn thing printed without any background shades of any kind and it will be more user friendly. Meanwhile, I just ran out of toner on this deal.
PRIC: Propless Remote Instant Cartomancy
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Fred Rosenbaum (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Monday 08 June, 2020)
Disclosure: I just bought this and have just skimmed it. It seems to match up with the description and I am happy so far and look forward to spending some time with it. After that I may add or subtract a star or 2.
The reason for writing is to clarify something to make it easier for you. In this book he references "Deckology Vol 1–Mystic Deck" here on Lybrary. Don't search for that, you won't find it. Just search for "Deckology" and you'll find there are 3 volumes. I assumed these would be expensive and the intent was to use PRIC as a loss-leader. Wrong. All are free. So when you buy PRIC save yourself a little time and pick up these 3 volumes at the same time.
