The complete art of two-person mind reading. From casual signals to a full professional code system.
For more than a century, audiences have watched in amazement as two performers appeared to share a single mind. A borrowed object is identified from across the room. A thought-of card is revealed without hesitation. A blindfolded performer names information they seemingly could not know.
The Accomplice pulls back the curtain on one of mentalism's most powerful principles: hidden communication.
Inside these pages, Luke Jonas takes you beyond traditional Second Sight and introduces a modern approach to two-person mentalism that works not only on stage, but in restaurants, bars, close-up settings, parlour shows, and everyday social situations.
You'll learn how information can be transmitted invisibly through natural conversation, subtle body language, timing, positioning, and even ordinary objects sitting on a table. This is not merely a collection of routines. It is a complete system.
Inside you'll discover:
- The history and evolution of Second Sight and two-person telepathy acts.
- The four types of accomplice and how to use each in performance.
- The principles of hidden communication and invisible signalling.
- A complete verbal and non-verbal code system.
- Number, letter, suit and colour transmissions.
- A practical alphabet grid for transmitting words and thoughts.
- Modern cueing methods designed for real-world performance.
- A full catalogue of non-verbal signals.
- Twelve complete routines ranging from classic stage demonstrations to contemporary close-up miracles.
Featured routines include:
The Borrowed Banknote: A blindfolded performer reveals a spectator's banknote serial number.
Any Card at Any Number: A thought-of card and freely named number are transmitted across the room.
The Thought-of Word: A spectator merely thinks of a word which is then revealed letter by letter.
The Drink Lie Detector: A devastating routine in which a thought-of card is identified using nothing more than apparent lie-detection skills.
Drink Position Revelations: A series of modern table-based systems allowing numbers, cards, and information to be transmitted without spoken codes.
Two-Object Triangulation: A powerful method capable of secretly communicating a complete playing card using only the positioning of everyday objects.
No electronics. No earpieces. No hidden devices. Just practical systems, hidden in plain sight.
Whether you want to perform a full Second Sight act, create impossible demonstrations with a trusted partner, or simply understand one of mentalism's most fascinating methods, The Accomplice provides everything you need to begin.
The Accomplice is a complete course in modern two-person mind reading, blending classical principles with contemporary methods designed for today's performer.
"The real secret is not the code. The real secret is knowing where information can hide."
