1415AD

Unknown Mentalist
1415AD by Unknown Mentalist

This year, 2018, marks the 100th anniversary of a fantastic principle which was first proposed in 1917. Although, many performers are unaware of this today, here are a few hard hitting card mentalism routines based on this fantastic principle combined with what I would like to call "Multiple Ins"...

Psychic Envelope Divination

Psychic Envelope Divination by Devin Knight... original writer, without exchanges of any kind. In this manner, every question is answered, and in its proper sequence.

NOW GET THE FACTS: Absolutely no apparatus of any description is used (may be worked in a bathing suit). No confederates or assistants need be employed as this is strictly a one-man feature. No switches or exchange of questions takes place at any time, and original questions never leave the audience's sight for an instant. There are no impression devices of any kind. No pre-show work or use of the internet in anyway.

No palming (as you have nothing to palm), no sleights...

CHANGES - Al Leech (creator of Red Hot Mama), presents a full-scale routine that will freak your spectators out. Imagine the four Aces, one-at-a-time changing into the four Kings...then suddenly snap back into Aces. The four Kings are found face-up in the middle of the deck. There are no thick multiple packet switches...this one is easy to do and the modus operandi is simplicity itself. Brilliant!

If you are a mentalist with a good understanding of cold reading then you can work this plan either full-time or part-time. Mentalists around the world are already doing this and you can too. This is one of the cleverest ideas on cold-reading you will ever come across and will increase your bookings. This is not a pipe dream, but 100% practical.

Above Suspicion

(There is a small four card set-up on the top that has to be preserved through the first shuffle - easy to do with a riffle shuffle, or these four cards need to be palmed out, remaining deck handed out for shuffle, and then added back.) The system is capable of many variations. One pack only is used and it may be borrowed. It is easy to perform. The spectator does not write anything. The card is chosen in his mind and strange to say you know the card before the spectator names it. The final palming out of the spectator card is not necessary. Author suggests other ways to...

Deckless Oncemore

Unknown Mentalist
Deckless Oncemore by Unknown Mentalist... about the method and focus fully on your presentation. There are no sleights, no pre-show, no stooges or instant stooges. There are no gimmicked cards, arts and crafts or DIY. There is no equivoque, no dual reality, no electronics, no apps. There are no peeks, impressions, secret writings or one aheads. There are no stacks and no memory work involved.

These effects can be performed either face to face or in a virtual show. You will be able to perform the routines almost as soon as you learn them.

I enjoy reading these manuscripts from the early 20th century. This one has a lot of chalk and slate work that a mentalist could adapt to create some interesting effects today. The photos are clear, and the book has been retyped, so there is no problem reading the text. The editor, Marko, has done a great job identifying the photos; if the instructions are unclear,...

Incredo Book Test

Orville Wayne Meyer
Incredo Book Test by Orville Wayne Meyer

Here's an incredibly direct book test that not only will amaze your audience, it will stun magicians, as well. There have been book tests with external paraphernalia and book tests with specially printed books... but never one so diabolically bold, clever, simple and direct as this.

The spectator simply opens a book, notes a word, and you can reveal it immediately or later. No involved mathematics. No stooge. None of the old thrusting of a card into the pages and all of that. No force, never the same word twice, and the book is an ordinary paperback that you can buy at any drug store. Or...

How to Chalk Talk

Harlan Tarbell
How to Chalk Talk by Harlan Tarbell

The chalk talk is an almost forgotten entertainment type. The only time I have seen a chalk talk was on a Saturday Night Live show. The idea of the chalk talk is to combine story telling with drawing usually in a funny way. Today one can do this with a whiteboard. You don't need to be a skilled artist to do a chalk talk.

Table-Hopping Cups and Balls

Scott F. Guinn
Table-Hopping Cups and Balls by Scott F. Guinn... consideration.

The Cups and Balls is probably the most-performed effect in magic's long history. However, it is rarely seen by the public these days, especially by table-hopping close up performers. Table-hopping magicians aren't willing (or able) to dedicate so much precious pocket space to one effect.

Scott developed this routine with the Table-Hopping environment in mind. It sacrifices less pocket space and the table room required is minimal.

In addition to significantly fewer props, by eliminating one cup and two balls, the routine is easier for the audience to follow - there...

Requires blank faced cards.


Reviewed by Paul Hallas

I've always thought the lie detector plot (from experience using it) was a commercial plot, because it allows fun interaction from the spectator and seems inexplicable because of their own input. This is one of several packet trick versions of the plot available and I really like it and have used it. One day I'll make myself up a jumbo set. If there is a downside to this version it would be the lack of variety with the selection, but I doubt that will stop you using it, it didn't me. This is a direct...

Blistr by Chris Wasshuber

Blistr is a new card punch with two important differences to more traditional card punches. First, it is built like a pair of small pliers and therefore very easy to use. The pliers are a flexure design 3D printed from durable plastic. (Starting design was created by BYU Compliant Mechanisms Research which I modified to fit my needs.) Second, this punch creates a bigger smoother blister than needle-based punches. The tip is not sharp and therefore does not punch through the playing card. For many, this will be easier to feel than a fine needle prick. The blister is a half-dome about 1 mm in diameter. The...

Walking Through a Woman Illusion

Walking Through a Woman Illusion by Devin Knight & Ulysses Frederick Grant

At last, here is a new illusion effect and one that any performer may own. Yet, here is an illusion which will compete with the best of them and it will not cost you several hundred dollars to own it or even a tenth of that. In my opinion this is more effective than the Interlude Illusion at a fraction of the cost.

EFFECT: Setting at the center of the stage are four chairs, in a row facing the audience. There is a space between the two center chairs wide enough for the performer to walk through. A girl assistant is then placed in a reclining position across the seats of the four chairs....

Her Majesty Deck is named thus because in this stack the Queen is called Her Majesty for an innovative reason. This is a memorized deck that is easier to learn, remember and use than Mnemonica or Aronson stacks. Most probably, you will be able to learn this stack on the same day that you read this manuscript.
