In-spy-ring     $12  (PDF)

The experts say ...

"This is the demonstration on how is possible to give new life to old principle creating well orchestrated routines! Bravo my friend!" - Luca Volpe

"It maintains your standards of excellence!" - Marc Salem



Highlights:

A fundamentally miraculous but automatic and self working principle but used very innovatively for nine unique mentalism routines.

  • An interesting and captivating script and story. Heightens the entertainment value.
  • Ready to use printable props. Makes the routines very visual.
  • Multiple novel revelation styles. Creates better impact and more retention value for the audience.
All the above combine smoothly with synergy to produce nine powerful routines. The basic underlying magic or trick happens automatically and you do not have to 'DO' anything or make any 'MOVES'. So you can focus completely on your presentation.

You can start performing the routines within 10 minutes of knowing the 'secrets'.

In one of the routines, a time bomb is about to go off. And the deactivation code is determined by the throw of dice many miles away and the 'hero' has to use his legendary telepathy skills to guess the code correctly and to defuse the bomb and save everyone. This he does and you have correctly predicted it. Not only that but you also predict correctly that a special number related to the 'hero's' date of birth is missing from the deactivation code.

Bonus Routine

An absolutely stunner. This can be performed anytime anywhere with anyone's credit card or debit card. You correctly guess a special number related to a spectator's credit card number. This works with any credit card or debit card and is totally impromptu. No swami, no peeks, no impressions. This is based on a very, very little known principle.

SPECIAL ROUTINE - REINCARNATION

This is a totally impromptu and self working routine. And the mysterious reincarnation theme creates a powerful impact. It can be done anytime and anywhere with anyone. The fact that the performer reveals who the participant was in the previous birth makes this routine an instant hit. You can play it either mystically or comically as per your own style of presentation.

Probably this is first time I have come across some dull math getting transformed into a highly visual theatre piece with a great story and lot of emotions creating memorable magic. After reading the routines and revelation ideas, my imagination started running wild with many more possibilities.

Con-spy-ring   $12  (PDF)

The experts say ...

"The Unknown Mentalist has done it again! He has a real talent for taking fascinating math principles and creating real world presentational hooks that your audiences will find engaging and thought provoking." - Marc Paul

"You are an excellent thinker and quite prolific." - Marc Salem


Highlights:

Now this second edition includes some clever and innovative additional revelation ideas from Marc Paul. It already includes a brilliant additional revelation idea of Chris Wasshuber.

These are 3 unbelievably dramatic routines which are totally unfathomable by the spectators. Even if they search the internet, they will find the entire patter and facts given by you are absolutely true and genuine which makes these routines all the more baffling and memorable.

Self working and easy to do. No stooges, no pre-show and no sleights. Each routine comes with a unique theme, patter and printable props. The themes are so realistic that you yourself may not believe that this magic is actually possible. For easy understanding there are about 10 indicative images.

1. CENTURY OF COINCIDENCE - (Part of patter) - "Have you heard of the Century of Coincidence? No? Well, this is something totally missed by the historians but luckily discovered by magicians and mentalists. The 100 year war between the English and the French is actually a Century of Coincidence. And, weirdly, this gets proved every time we do a demonstration." The routine climaxes with some impossible revelations. And the spectator gets to keep a historic souvenir.

2. ATTITUDE WITH LATITUDE - (Part of patter) - "Geographically speaking any point on Earth can be defined by a unique combination of latitude and longitude. Similarly every thought that arises in the human mind can be defined by a unique combination of dreams and memories. Let's do a demonstration based on the latitude and longitude of human thoughts." The routine then uses some international telephone codes for an unbelievable climax.

3. ALPHA CONSPIRACY - What you do in this routine is no less than a conspiracy using alphabets and a book (this is NOT a spelling routine). Hence the name Alpha Conspiracy and it has a double climax. This is a book test which can be done using any ungimmicked book. (Part of patter) - "According to linguistic research statistics these 2 dozen words have been proved to have high impact on the human subconscious mind." And the routine ends with a thundering double climax.

The Unknown Silence     $12  (PDF)

The experts say ...

"Thank you for releasing THE UNKNOWN SILENCE. It's a very clever idea. I somehow enjoy the feeling that occurs when a person is stunned by your 'magic & mentalism' and you're miles away." - Mark Piazza

"Another hit! How do you keep coming up with such great and commercial ideas?" - Marc Salem


Highlights:

A powerfully mysterious mentalism routine with a long lasting impact.

Now this second edition includes a clever additional idea by Mark Piazza.

You give a piece of paper with a mystic message to an utter stranger. Later, when she is alone in her candle-lit room at 10 pm, the actual magic happens in her own hands. Your accurate prediction of her date of birth, month of birth and her chosen symbol appears right in front of her eyes on the piece of paper.

The impact is so stunning that you are bound to get a call from the participant. Then you are either booked for a gig or she wants to meet you for further consultation or you are requested to start a new cult for which she is already the first recruit!

In over 90 times I performed this, 87 times I received a call from the participants almost immediately after the effect happens in the participant's hands. And every time a very personal and memorable souvenir gets left with the participant along with your name and contact details.

No electronics. No stooges. No pre-show. No sleights. Very easy to do and almost self-working. The best part is that the effect happens remotely in the participant's hands when you are nowhere around. All you need is some acting skill and presentation style and a BOLD ATTITUDE.

Kube Rishi     $18  (PDF)

The experts say ...

"This is a clever combination of principles with a nice twist using a Rubik's Cube. I like the fact that you use the cube to then gain some other information is very good." - Luca Volpe

"I never would have thought of applying these sort of routines to a Rubiks Cube, What a brilliant idea !!!" - David Burmeister

"Once again you have come up with some excellent ideas. Just the premise of using a numbered Rubik’s Cube to force numbers is really good. Your thinking is sound as most people don’t understand how a Rubik’s Cube works. I like all of the ideas and can see them fitting well into a numerological type of presentation." - Marc Paul


Highlights:

Now updated with a great memory type routine suggested by Marc Paul and also an additional book test routine.

Kube Rishi is a collection of 15 Rubik Cube Mentalism Routines.

The big breakthrough here is that after handing over your Rubik Cube to the audience, you never ever have to touch it again. Ever.

There is a lot of excellent work already in the field of Rubik Cube Magic. Kube Rishi breaks new ground in the mostly under explored territory of Rubik Cube Mentalism.

The basic premise here is NOT solving the cube or MATCHING 2 cubes or VANISHING a cube or PRODUCING a cube. But using the 3x3 cube with its mind boggling 43 billion billion combinations for some unique mentalism routines which provide a memorable and stunning experience to the audience.

From the performer's angle, all the routines are totally automatic and self working.

Unbelievable but absolutely true. No sleight of hand required. No need to memorize any Rubik Cube moves.

This is like a breath of fresh air and a welcome departure from the regular card and coin tricks. You will do a few of these right in your next gig. The audience perception will be something like this - If you can do this with a cube, then mere solving a cube should be infant's play for you.

In this collection there are 6 independent routines, 3 advanced routines, 3 combination routines and a couple of interesting add-on variations.

The 6 independent routines are - PYRAMIDS, DARK LIGHT, POWER PLAY, AFTERLIFE, TIME SPACE and LIMITLESS

And a special bonus routine which uses a bold new method - ZEROGRAM

About 15 routines in all. Everything is clearly explained with the help of about 6 exhibits.

Once you know the basic principles, you can create more combinations of routines. And most of the routines given can be done almost immediately after reading the instructions.

There is a one time preparation of an ungimmicked cube which should not take more than 10-15 minutes. Nothing mechanical really. And you need to print out just one sheet of paper. And you are ready to do an entire act. Packs small and plays big. You are ready anytime, anywhere for anyone.

There is one downside to this, however. You may end up being perceived as a psychic freak by the audience.

So far a rubic cube has been mostly used for some great magic. But now Kube Rishi turns it into a lethal weapon for the mentalist.

Pyramids and Dark Light are easily my favorites – a couple of basic Rubik principles have been creatively used. A lot of quality thinking has obviously gone into structuring the routines – the themes, the storylines, script, patter. It is so detailed and so thorough that sometimes it borders on seeming like a scholarly thesis for a doctorate. So this is definitely not an armchair hobbyist’s cup of tea. The Zerogram technique is just the tip of an iceberg and holds the potential for much further exploration. Now my ultimate aim is to be able to perform Limitless, which in my opinion is the crown jewel here and possible only for the seasoned and highly skilled mentalist.

If my memory serves me right, this is the first time ever that the unique features of a 3x3 Rubik Cube have been exploited in such depth for doing some great mentalism routines. I tried a couple of these on a few of my students (teenagers) and it just blew them away. These youngsters are very much aware of the billions of possibilities on a Rubik Cube and this fact further heightens the impact. Kube Rishi is like a lifetime of returns for a one time investment. The esoteric theme of life, destiny and destinations elevates the overall flavor of the routines. Of course, this is not a typical Rubik Cube magic act where the focus is on the cube all the time and what is being done with the cube. The big plus here is that the entire audience focus is on the performer and his 'special' abilities and the cube is reduced to a mere tool. Also the fact that the performer does not have to keep on fiddling with the cube and the cube itself is with the audience most of the time is the killer feature.

The audience will get inexplicably drawn into the performer’s web, almost as if some spell has been cast.

PsyConText     $12  (PDF)

The experts say ...

"I just wanted to drop you a note to say that I've bought a lot of your stuff and really enjoy the effects. When I got PsyConText yesterday, knowing how good your material is, I didn't even fully read the presentation before diving into preparing the notebook. Needless to say, I think that it is your best effort yet--the micro-story idea is brilliant--and I can't wait to perform it. I think that it will be a real reputation maker." - Chris Fisanick


Highlights:

PsyConText is extremely easy to perform. But some basic presentation skills will be needed. However this may not be for absolute beginners. So consider yourself cautioned. No sleights. No pre-show. No stooges. Almost self-working. You can make a memorable mark on the audience minds. Here the performer plays a special role, that of a MENTALINGUIST.

The participant is given a notepad filled with a lot of stories. Stories which are very special and very memorable and very cute. These are very short stories, about 50-60 stories in all. The participant is now asked to open to any page and choose a story from that page mentally. Then the performer accurately divines the complete story chosen by the participant. This can be repeated instantly with a different outcome, with the same participant or a different one.v In another routine, the participant is asked to focus on any major word in her chosen story and the performer accurately divines not only the chosen story but also the word being focused on.

As a finale, the performer is also able to divine the name of the place where that particular story was noted and the serial number of the bill spent on that particular day.

There is a one-time simple preparation of the notepad which should not take more than 30-40 minutes. But once done, this will last you many years for many memorable performances.

A total of 6 routines are explained. Also included is a complete 4 phase Mentalinguist Act of 15-20 minutes which includes the theme, patter and detailed scripting.

Updated with an additional seventh and eighth routine.

"JA clear cut idea that makes predicting a card super easy." - Marc Paul

Sensory Brain Knewmerology     $09  (PDF)

Highlights:

The great response to Brain Knewmerology and Advanced Brain Knewmerology is the motivation to build further on them and the result is a mind boggling triple impact routine. Here one single effort gives triple payoff. This is the brain knewmerology principle on steroids.

One list with over 100 items. Three participants. Three choices. Nothing is spoken. Yet the performer divines all their thoughts exactly.


Almost propless and self working and instantly repeatable with different outcomes. Just one list to carry in your wallet along with a few of your business cards and you are absolutely ready to 'fry' your audiences from just a 'roomful' to a 'houseful'. Stunning display of 'real' like mind reading.

No sleights. No preshow. No stooges. Anytime and anywhere routine. Very easy to perform and suitable for almost any setting. An unconventional combination of some clever principles.

The theme, patter, presentation and scripting are all explained in detail. The whole routine is cohesive, organic and smooth with multiple moments of amazement. Very positive scope for audience participation and audience engagement. And the performer's business cards are retained by the participants as enigmatic souvenirs.

This is a fully independent routine and can even be done as a ten minute stand alone act.

5 very interesting alternative themes are also suggested which can change the look and feel of the entire routine in varied directions.

Wallet Brain Knewmerology     $09  (PDF)

Highlights:

Just 3 cards for you to carry in your wallet or pocket. One mystic card, one emotional card and one funny card. All are business card size. All are pre-written (or pre-printed if you so wish.) And you are ready to perform anytime, anywhere to anyone.

You can, at a moment's notice, entertain a single person or a small group by involving up to 6 participants.

Completely self working. Instant repeatable with different outcomes. Nothing to reset. Easy to perform. No stooges. No sleights. No preshow.


The main routine is flexible enough to be performed from one minute up to ten minutes as per need. And provides great scope for you to leave your business card with the participants as a souvenir.

A big highlight here is the special content on the 3 cards. Although the basic DNA belongs to the Brain Knewmerology family, this is completely and innovatively adapted as a wallet/pocket routine.

In addition to the main routine, SEVEN other variations are explained.

The Unswami     $36  (PDF)

With an introduction by Marc Salem:

When I read the very first release manuscript (Karma Deck) by the Unknown Mentalist, I was entranced. His knowledge, insight, effects and their methodology were first rate. Beginners luck, I thought. And then I read more of his subsequent releases, it was terrific. Can one man really be putting out this much quality material? I was almost shaken. And now the swami gimmick, my bread and butter......I hope the Unknown Mentalist asks me to collaborate on a swami effect or two. I respect his one of a kind thinking.


The experts say ...

"The Unswami is a very good book. As my friend Marc Salem points out in his Preface, this is not a new idea, but one that is hardly ever used and is explored here in a dynamic and contemporary fashion. It certainly works and works well. The effects accomplished are done so in a very direct way and look completely incredible and baffling. Please note, this is not to imply the Unswami is somehow better than the traditional swami, but rather is a different method. We should all have a well rounded repertoire with the ability to do things in different ways. This keeps you fresh and vibrant as well as totally confusing any audience because of the many methods involved. You will find some very mysterious effects in this book followed by pages of ideas that can also be used with the Unswami. It is certainly worth your attention!"- Richard Osterlind

"In this pdf you will find a very nice touch on a classic tool and ideas that will inspire your presentation. Well done!" - Luca Volpe

"Stylus writers are a subject that needed a 'primer' and you've written a good one." - Bruce Bernstein

"Review on Ningthing by Michael Siegel."

"Unswami is a detailed examination of a concept that has a tonne of uses. Unknown Mentalist explains everything clearly and illustrates the different principles with some very clever and well routined effects." - Marc Paul

Highlights:

You will get 3 more ebooks FREE Luck Maker, Dream Seal and Swamirakle with this.

The Unswami

Just try to imagine this. Although this may very well be beyond imagination. Tony Corinda, David Berglas, Max Maven and Kenton Knepper have gathered around a table (what ?). These "Mind Giants" are discussing magic and mentalism (what else?). And huddled up in a corner on the floor is a young kid who is intently watching them, observing them, listening to them, learning from them, absorbing their ideas and digesting their concepts. Further, presume that, after many many years, that kid who has now grown into an absolutely unknown mentalist, puts together some mentalism routines and sends them to Marc Salem, as a mark of his enormous respect and admiration for him. And the great Marc Salem says "WOW". Can you believe this? Well, the last part is literally true and the first part is figuratively true.

This is advanced mentalism and may not yet be for rank beginners.

The Unswami is a much overlooked and neglected version of the Swami gimmick which can in fact be much more powerful and far more flexible in application. This ebook gives a complete overview of The Unswami gimmick, other key components, process, psychology, subtleties, etc. This is no longer a mere gimmick but an entire system - The Unswami Principle.

Some indicative images are provided for easier understanding.

Swamirakle

Swamirakle is a small collection of ideas and suggestions which can be explored with the Unswami Principle. These are some thought seeds which you can use to further develop routines as per your specific requirements.

Luck Maker

Luck Maker is a blockbuster routine using the Unswami Principle. Performer openly places a verified sealed envelope as a prediction on the table right in the beginning. A participant chooses any playing card and that's exactly what comes out of the envelope, with a twist. Totally 3 killer versions of Luck Maker are explained.

An interesting version of equivoque called Skyvoque is explained. This novel take on the magician's choice will play beautifully for 4-6 objects and can be applied in multiple situations.

A highly captivating theme and presentation about a mysterious luck maker is explained. Although quite easy method wise, some presentational skills will help. This is advanced mentalism and may not yet be for rank beginners.

No stooges. No pre show. No electronics.

Dream Seal

Dream Seal is yet another blockbuster routine based on an ACAAN type of plot. 3 sealed envelopes are in play and from the audience point of view a totally hands off mind boggling miracle. Impossible gets a new meaning in this routine. In addition to the main routine, 3 alternative routines, 3 bonus routines and a special bonus routine are explained.

A dream sequence theme and presentation are explained. The methods explained are quite easy. But some presentation skills will obviously help. This is advanced mentalism and may not yet be for rank beginners.

Includes some convenient optional printable props.

No stooges. No pre show. No electronics.

Recipe for mentalism ebook success: take one forgotten tool out of mothballs, explain its uses comprehensively well, add some nice routines, and add a few variations on those nice routines. Voila! Great ebook, an essential primer really for this gimmick. The unswami or stylus writer--no, I'm not giving things away here since it's already been mentioned in one of the headliner reviews--was completely forgotten by most...until now. (It's mentioned in Corinda, but then again, so many people don't want to read Corinda because "it's outdated." Right. Keep up that thinking. The Unknown Mentalist and I will run rings around your mentalism with all the "out-dated" stuff that we read in Corinda.) I can't hype this book enough. If you use a swami gimmick--and even if you have Corinda memorized and are familiar with how this all works--you'll need this package set. Your swami may be weapon #1 and the unswami #2 or vice versa. Both have their pros and cons but can be equally effective. Now not everyone uses or even likes swamis. They take practice and a large amount of absolute confidence in presentation. If you are a swami-addict, however, then take the plunge and go in--or "un"--on the unswami.

The basic concepts and tools are nothing new. However, the treatment and applications are quite revolutionary. The Unswami Principle (as the author calls it) is an old almost forgotten concept which has now been brought into the lime light with this release. Although I myself have been using the swami gimmick for over a decade now, I was very much fascinated to know about the Unswami in this manuscript and felt that I missed something so powerful all these years. Unswami opens up a completely novel path.

Luck Maker is a fantastic prediction routine using the Unswami Principle. This seems to be the author's take on Kenton's Kolossal Killer principle. But here KK is put on steriods, no wait, something more powerful, say rocket fuel. Luck Maker totally zapped me. There are 3 versions of Luck Maker here - 2 with the Unswami and 1 with the regular Swami. Quite clever and very practical.

Dream Seal is an interesting and refreshing routine which resembles an acaan plot though not strictly acaan. Good scope for audience participation. Builds up a stunning climax. It uses a stacked deck in combo with the Unswami principle. Very ingenious thinking and routining here. And the best part is the performer need not know the stack. Although many variations and bonus routines are provided my favorite is the special bonus routine along with the main one - true powerhorses.

Swamirakle is a little collection of ideas, not full routines. But some clever ideas which the performer can build on in different ways. These ideas apply to the regular Swami gimmick as much as the Unswami.

Overall, there is so much new, unconventional and yet extremely practical, usable thinking that went in here. It stimulated my mind into many new ideas and directions. A 'must have' for any mentalist - amateur or pro.

The experts say ...

"This is wonderful material. I will be using it."- Marc Salem

"I just finished reading it and I have to tell you that I think it's great you've developed several unique ways to present a business card. I especially like the first routine, Telepathy Test, and will have some made up to try it out. My Thought Association Card routine would be a natural follow-up should a potential client like to see something else. I like the "gag" idea of the "Lucky Fingerprint" routine and the use of the Frixion pen is clever" - Stephen A. Yachanin


Highlights:

The extraordinary art of 'killing'. With just your business card. You can choose to 'kill' instantly. Or you can choose to 'kill' remotely over phone. You can even 'time the kill' for many weeks or months later. Actually just one business card is handed over to the 'victim'. But the impact in the mind of the 'victim' will be far bigger.

Businessassins is especially for the mentalist to hand out his business cards. No 'magicky' methods. Appears like some unfathomable 'mind thing' to the 'victim'. And you will appear like a true mentalist.

Your business card is completely examinable before and after the routines. No sleights. No preshow. No stooges. No electronics. Nothing to reset. You just carry and hand out your business cards with a 'special something' on the back of your cards.

Three very innovative 'killing systems' are explained in detail with the help of several images. The 3 'killing systems' or routines are

  1. TELEPATHY TEST
  2. DIGITAL DESTINY
  3. LUCKY FINGERPRINT
The solid methods and principles of these routines can also be easily adapted for bigger venues like parlor or stage with a little change in the presentation. Basic premise of these Businessassins is to enable a mentalist to go on distributing his business cards in a manner similar to 'sowing of seeds' which will 'germinate' either instantly or later at any time you want with multiplied impact. This is the secret art of turning your business cards into amazing audience assassins.

When someone like Paul Hallas gives a great review, there will be nothing more for me to add except that I too love these unusual ideas and routines. I got this a few weeks back and could perform each of the 3 routines over a dozen times, so far and got great reactions. My favs are Telepathy Test and Lucky Fingerprint, although I feel Digital Destiny is an absolutely new principle and holds a lot of potential. The best part of the routine construction here is that the 'effect' happens many hours or even days after I hand over my business card and many times it happened remotely over phone. That's a killer feature. Looking forward to getting Businessassins 2 as soon as possible. This is a great buy, highly recommended.

Businessassins 1 and 2 Review by Paul Hallas.

It makes sense to me to review these e-booklets together. The introduction to both books is identical as the theme of each booklet is the same: routines with business cards for the mentalist (though some magicians may be interested too). There are three detailed routines in each booklet with variations on some of them included and material to print out so you can get them printed on your business cards or print on stickers to add to your business cards while you experiment with the routines. If you like the first book, you’ll want the second.

There have been booklets on routines with business cards before (I wrote one myself decades ago) but these are aimed more for those who lean towards mentalism. The mentalist might write a prediction on a business card before leaving it with someone or do a ‘flash’ magic square a la Roy Johnson or Doug Dyment but the routines in these booklets are meant to be more interactive and in some cases done over the phone later. The idea is that the person you give the business card to prompts the demonstration by asking about what he sees on your card.

Just as there are some mentalists that don’t like to use playing cards I’ve come across some that don’t like to use printed lists so if you’re one of those then walk right on by. For the most part the routines use mathematical principles and clever forces so the mere mention of math has lost some more readers unless you’ve previously read anything by The Unknown Mentalist in which case you might stick around.

The first routine in the first booklet is called Telepathy Test. On the back of the business card is what looks like a word search puzzle and a list of words. After the performers introductory patter the participant chooses a word and looks for it in the puzzle. The performer is able to reveal the word he is looking at.

Routine two is called Digital Destiny. Apart from information on the business card (a list of words) another small card is used with different years on in three different colors. One side of the card has dates from the past and the other the future. In the simplest version of the routine as soon as someone picks a color you know which word they will eventually end up with.

Other versions of the routine are given where the color is never used. If I were to make this up I’d eliminate the first line on the future dates side of the card as they are years that have already gone. Also you’d pick younger people to do this with, if someone my age picked some of the later dates they’d be dead before the date arrived so the final word arrived at would not be significant in any way. A very unusual limiting force is used with this routine involving digital numbers and whilst I found it interesting, I thought it too many hoops to jump through to reveal a word. Maybe it will open the door to people giving readings based on the digital segments in someone’s date of birth?

The third routine is a humorous one, the spectator’s fingerprint apparently appears on your business card. It’s taken as a bit of a joke but eventually an ESP symbol he is concentrating on appears in the fingerprint. No mathematics in this one, but you need a Frixion pen. And if you have one, there’s also a killer use for it in the second booklet.

Universal Answer is the first routine in Businessassins 2. I found this one amusing as the spectator finds the answer to the meaning of life. A 25 square grid full of words is on the back of your business card. An alternative grid with symbols/pictures could also be used and while that does look better, the word grid is far more practical if you were going to do this over the phone, as pictures can be described by people in different ways, and in the end the participant has to use words for the images anyway. At first I thought the use of ‘traffic light’ seemed out of place as a choice and something else could be substituted, but then realized it doesn’t matter as the climax shows this is not to be taken too seriously (which is not to say the person won’t be baffled).

This is an unusual application of an old force and whilst the author mentions in passing that some of the routines in the booklet with a little thought could be sized up for bigger audiences it made me think of some of Martin Gardner’s bigger prediction squares and using words perhaps for those (see The Magic Magazine, February 1975 or Martin Gardner Presents p.141) but I know I never will.

The second routine in book 2 is Zodiac Zap. A mixture of principles here, one is the use of a Friction pen but I can imagine this having quite an impact as everything written on the back of the business card disappears except for the date you met and the participants zodiac sign which you could not possibly have known.

The final routine in this booklet, Fast Forecast is another routine with a list of words on the back of your business cards. These forty five words represent positive development for the subject at different times. Under the guise of a numerological experiment the participant is guided through a series of calculations with information the mentalist could not know and the resultant number leads to a word on the list which the performer is able to slowly reveal. All the possible words can be milked for a positive future forecast.

If you get just one routine from these booklets that you are going to use a lot, then it’s a good investment. The principles, thinking and presentations described may very well spark your own imagination.

Psych Aerious     $12  (PDF)

The experts say ...

"OAt its heart PSYCH AERIOUS has a simple mathematical principle that the Unknown Mentalist leverages to get the maximum amount of reveals and information out of. All of which is wrapped up in a well thought out presentation."- Marc Paul


Highlights:

This is a killer close up mentalism routine. Clean, simple and direct. A participant is asked to mentally think of a word from the Psych Aerious Card. Not only does the performer reveal the final word but also seems to know what all the participant passed through from the beginning of the thought to the ending of the thought process.

A mysterious concept of Psych Aerious is introduced and explained which makes the routine more baffling and the impact more powerful. A small card which can easily fit in a wallet is used as an interesting prop. This card (both sides) is designed and included as a printable prop.

This routine can be performed anytime, anywhere to anyone. Nothing to reset and instantly repeatable with a different outcome each time. The Psych Aerious Card is very cleverly designed and is completely examinable. No sleights. No preshow. No stooges. Very easy to perform as it is fully self working. Can be performed almost immediately after reading the instructions.

Your audience will be totally stunned and completely baffled. And this is one of those rare routines which you can repeat multiple times because often due to the unique impact, you will be requested to repeat the routine. You will thoroughly enjoy performing this.

A couple of alternate handlings and an alternate routine are also included.

Unusual Clue     $12  (PDF)

The experts say ...

"I liked how you transformed a boring mathematical principle into something more entertaining! Very good! Keep doing good things!" - Luca Volpe


Highlights:

A unique and unconventional 'Psychic Detective' routine where the performer plays the detective and using an 'unusual clue' predicts the name of the criminal right in the beginning of the proceedings.

A random participant names a random 'victim' - straight from his imagination. Another random participant names a random 'witness' - again purely from his imagination. These names are chosen totally at random and out of the blue and there is absolutely no force involved. Then using the 'unusual clue' (which is in full view right from the beginning), the participants zero in on a 'criminal' from a list of 'suspects'. This matches exactly with the prediction made by the performer.

Self working and very easy to perform. Instantly repeatable with a different outcome. Nothing to reset. All you need is a small, normal, ungimmicked envelope and 3 business cards. The envelope and 2 of the cards can be reused multiple times. No sleights. No preshow. No stooges. Although this is designed for closeup and small groups, it can easily be adapted to parlor and stage settings.

Powerful presentation with high impact outcome. Can be played humorously or mystically. Patter and script along with a couple of alternative handlings and some bonus ideas are included. A couple of indicative printable props for the suspect list are also provided.

THE: The Hand Experiments     $18  (PDF)

Highlights:

The 'which hand' plot is a very popular one and there have been many excellent routines with this plot. Some notable names are Gerald Kosky, Barrie Richardson, Banachek, Mark Elsdon and many other creative thinkers. Here is a collection of some unconventional, unusual but easy to do and high impact routines based on this theme.

If not performed correctly, this plot can come across as a simple 50-50 puzzle. But if presented well, this can create true amazement for the participants. So presentation is as important as the method. Here simple and classic methods are used in a novel manner and are woven together seamlessly.


This collection contains 5 main routines, a few alternative variations and a couple of bonus ideas. Some unique revelation styles are also included. All very easy to do once you understand the psychology behind the routines. These are best suitable for one on one situations or small close up groups.

Sufficient number of images are included for better understanding and usage. After reading this ebook, you will begin to look at the hands of your participants from a new perspective.

Bill S Kill     $12  (PDF)

Highlights:

The performer hands out a bunch of dollar bills to the participant. On each dollar bill is written a different word which represents something which money cannot buy. Also, on each dollar bill is written a different playing card.

After giving out the bill stack, the performer does not need to touch the dollar bills again. The participant chooses any dollar bill randomly while the performer is looking away. And yet the performer divines accurately the special word written on that particular dollar bill. Not only that, the performer also divines the serial number of the dollar bill. Finally to complete the utter amazement of the participant, the playing card is also divined by the performer.


This is a hard hitting triple climax routine which you can carry in your pocket or wallet. The principle is self working. The routine itself is very easy to perform and is totally hands off. No sleights, no preshow and no stooges. Can be reset instantly.

An interesting theme, presentation and script based on "what money cannot buy" are included along with some bonus ideas. The routine involves a bit of one time preparation which may take up between 5-10 minutes. You can also hand out your business card as a souvenir to the participant with your revelations on it.

Silent Words     $12  (PDF)

Highlights:

This is a 15 minute mind reading piece containing 4 phases. It uses a few blank business cards, a few envelopes and a few papers - all normal and ungimmicked.

Phase One - A participant chooses a famous quote, silently in her mind, from among several options. Nothing is spoken or written down by the participant. And yet, the performer reads the participant's mind and divines the chosen quote.

Phase Two - A second participant chooses a famous person, very randomly, from among several possibilities. Weirdly, it so coincides that the famous quote chosen by the first participant happens to be of the famous person chosen by the second person.


Phase Three - This is an optional phase. The performer now proves that he had predicted well in advance, both the choices made by both the participants. This prediction is very dramatic and extremely visual.

Phase Four - This phase can be used as an 'encore routine'. In case anyone asks the performer to 'do it again for me', the performer asks a third participant to silently think of a famous person from among several options. And without the participant having to speak or write anything, his thought is revealed by the performer.

This is a flexible routine where the performer can choose to stop after any of the phases, depending on the time available and performing situation. Actually, the first 2 phases can be classified as the 'Main Routine'. The third phase is an 'Optional Phase' and the fourth phase is best used as an 'Encore Routine'

The method is a turbo version of a classic principle. This variation makes the basic principle very easy to apply and perform. At the same time this looks more deceptive and delivers a higher impact. You will find that the potential of this version of the well known principle is vast and you can use it in multiple ways, with a little imagination.

There are no sleights, no preshow, no stooges, no swami gimmick, no Unswami gimmick, no peeks, no impressions, no switches, no stacks, no tech, no math, no tearing, no instant stooging, no dual reality. Except for the business cards, envelopes and papers, the principle by itself is normally classified as propless.

This is a mentalism routine that you can do in two, three, or four parts. It's extremely smart, baffling, and versatile. In the first phase, an advanced version of a prodigal principle is used, or as the Unknown Mentalist puts it, it's done in a "turbo" way. That it is. Applause. Well done! This principle by itself is worth the price of the ebook. The second phase uses an old-school counting principle that I personally don't like. I will most likely use a sleight here--or you could a Scott Creasey-style gimmicked envelope or even a variation on Reg Blackwood's X-Way Pad--but it's up to you. This is all quite flexible, depending on how you want to do this. The optional third phase uses one of my favorite cool items that wasn't manufactured with magic in mind, but it's perfect for magicians and mentalists. And the optional "encore" phase is the fundamental or un-turbo handling of phase one. This really is a terrific routine, whether you do it the whole way through or only in a shortened version. While it's not complicated as these types of processes go, you will need a little bit of memory work and practice. Otherwise, you've have close-up mentalism at its finest. Highly recommended.

Mindipulation     $12  (PDF)

Highlights:

This is based on a classic principle but layered with multiple reveals and disguised with a mentalism presentation. Two participants randomly choose a card each while the performer's back is turned. In fact the performer never touches the cards after initially handing over the packet to a participant. The 'card' here is not a playing card but a 'mystic' card which has details like colors, directions etc. And yet the performer divines all the thoughts of both the participants.


Only 4 cards are used for the routine and you can always carry these in your wallet or pocket. The printable props are pre-designed and included. Of course, you can print the 4 cards in any size you may want. You can also, if you wish, choose to perform this routine in an impromptu manner by simply 'handwriting' on 4 of your business cards right in front of your spectators and proceed to perform the routine. Suitable patter designed to heighten the overall impact is also included.

Apart from the main routine, a couple of optional ideas based on the 'Miss Universe' theme and the 'Movies' theme are suggested. The underlying principle is very flexible and can be adapted for multiple themes with your imagination being the only limit.

There are no sleights, no preshow, no stooges, no swami gimmick, no unswami gimmick, no peeks, no impressions, no switches, no marked cards, no tech, no tearing, no instant stooging, no dual reality. Instantly repeatable with a different outcome each time and with less than a 3 second reset time. The process is totally hands off for the performer and the cards can be examined both before and after the routine by the participants.

Kolossal Kisser     $18  (PDF)

The experts say ...

"I just finished to read, you are a mathematical genius! This is a very different approach to this classic, maybe not for everyone but is something nice to have in the wallet. Bravo!" - Luca Volpe


Highlights:

Effect as perceived by the audience: The performer gives a single envelope containing a single playing card as a prediction to a member of the audience. Then another random member of the audience is asked to freely name any playing card. Any one from among 52 cards which the spectator does. The performer's prediction is then proved to be correct, that too in a stunning manner.

Presentation Options: Several interesting presentational approaches are described, one of which deals with the losing participant giving a kiss to the performer. After handing over the prediction envelope to the audience member the performer never ever touches the envelope except at the end to simply take out the predicted card.

Now consider the following for what is NOT the method.

  • The envelope is ungimmicked and there is really only one playing card inside it.
  • No wallet is needed to perform this.
  • No sleights. No pre show. No stooges.
  • No dual reality or instant stooging.
  • No equivoque. No forcing. No math.
  • No verbal jugglery. Nothing written down.
  • No peeks, no impressions, no tearing.
  • No other playing cards are used except the one in the envelope.
  • No threads, no electronics, no dinosaurs and no rocket science.
The method is almost impromptu and completely self working and easy to perform. You can start performing it right after reading the instructions, although perfecting your presentation is always a good thing. You will surely fall in love with this principle and will start having your own ideas for using this in many other ways.

Those who know Kolossal Killer by Kenton Knepper will really appreciate this innovation. Here the possibilities are much higher. And there is an apparently delicious false climax where the performer initially seems to miss closely. But finally it turns into a stunning climax where everything comes good in a most unexpected manner.

This is another GREAT effect by the UNKNOWN MENTALIST.

I like the Ouija Board routine with the playing cards and also the number routine.

In the playing card effect I printed the playing card grid on one side and the Ouija Board on the other on a 5 x 7 setting on the computer. I also made my prediction on card stock on a 5 x 7 setting. I plan on laminating both the grid and the prediction. This way I can just have the spectator look at the Ouija side until I have them turn to the grid side to find their card. This way I can use the props for a long time until I make another set up.

I simply printed and will also print the number grid and also the prediction 5 x 7 and laminate them also.

Sometimes it takes me a while to think the effect over in my mind as I'm familiar with the original KK effect but I believe this effect will be well worth it. I'm still pondering over the second KK effect and will definitely buy the last one.

The core method here is a brilliant advancement over the Kolossal Killer idea of Kenton Knepper. If you like Kolossal Killer method, you will like this too. If you do not like Killer, then you will definitely like this a lot. I believe, it is conventional thinking like this that truly pushes our art to new heights.

The ouija board presentation coupled with the business card version will be the one I will be performing. In my opinion is is a very powerful combo. The biggest take away for me, unlike in Kenton's Killer, you do not need a wallet - just a single mini envelope in your pocket is all you carry.

Further, applying this unique principle to year of birth theme given in the bonus routine is simply fantastic. The pseudo climax where you apparently miss followed by the actual climax creates a stunning impact. For me this was an extraordinary buy. No wonder this is topping the hotlist right now.

Kolossal Kicker     $18  (PDF)

The experts say ...

"I think they (the routines) are amazing and a triumph of mentalism advancement. I have seen nothing like it before. Will try some slight revision and put the word list in a show to test it." - Marc Salem


Highlights:

The amazing principle of Kolossal Kisser is taken to a whole new level in this Kolossal Kicker. An already fantastic principle is further expanded into an unconventional and totally unexplored territory with immense possibilities. There are significant additions to the basic method which add many layers of deception and make the routines all the more baffling and entertaining.

Kolossal Kicker contains the following four routines.

Routine One - WORDS

Right in the beginning the performer keeps in full view his prediction in a sealed envelope. A participant is given a list of about 80-90 words in which all the words are unique and no words are repeated. The participant is asked to randomly choose any one word from the list. There is absolutely no force. And this choice matches the prediction in a stunning manner.

Routine Two - PLACES

Here again there is a sealed prediction in full view right from the beginning. From a list of about 70-80 different places all over the world, a participant is asked to randomly choose any one place - again no force. All the places are unique and none are repeated. And this choice matches the performer's prediction in an unbelievable manner.

Routine Three - MYTHICAL PLACES

The theme here is about imaginary or mythical places from popular books like Percy Jackson, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter etc. A participant is asked to randomly choose any one mythical place from among a list of about 80-90 such fictitious places. Again her choice matches the performer's prediction in an absolutely amazing manner. In this list too, none of the places are repeated and all are unique.

Routine Four - EMOTIONS

From a list which mentions about 80-90 common emotions experienced by human beings in their daily life, a participant chooses an emotion randomly and this again matches the performer's prediction in a baffling manner. The list contains all different and unique emotions and none of them are repeated.

All the four routines are based on different but clever extensions/expansions of the basic Kolossal Kisser principle. Now consider the following for what the method is NOT.

The envelope is ungimmicked and there is really only one prediction card inside it.

  • No wallet is needed to perform this.
  • No sleights. No pre show. No stooges.
  • No dual reality or instant stooging.
  • No equivoque. No forcing. No math.
  • No verbal jugglery. Nothing written down by the participant.
  • No peeks, no impressions, no tearing.
  • No other prediction cards are used except the one in the envelope.
  • No threads, no electronics, no dinosaurs and no rocket science.
The routines are almost impromptu and completely self working and easy to perform. You can start performing them right after reading the instructions, although perfecting your presentation is always a good thing. You will surely fall in love with this principle and the unconventional expansions described and will start having your own ideas for using this in many other ways.

All Magic effect's new and old will never ever be suitable to meet every ones taste and skill in the magic/mentalism field of entertainment. What they do which is guaranteed is to stimulate any one’s mind to read practice and adapt to their own style of presentation and most of all. All effects can and do is to stimulate Old and young minds to produce new thoughts and ideas for any performer to bring old and most importantly new effects to entertain and amaze the public and spectators. We as entertainers and writers can never please every one. But what we can is to stimulate the readers open minds I like the writer's work and adapt to my own style ironing out anything that I think does not suit my style or performance all of his works so fare are in my working library Including this one.

I never got to performing Kenton's Killer much - as it needed a complete wallet to be fully 'occupied'. Now this new principle is amazing. Wonderful method to predict one out of about 80 variables with just one prediction in an ungimmicked envelope. It is so clean, fair and extremely clever. The drama of missing closely and then rising like a phoenix to a fantastic climax is very gripping.
None of the 80 or so words/places/emotions are repeated and the clever variations render the routines as true workers. I will be doing words, places and emotions - mythical places is really not my cup of tea. The hard work for all these routines is already done and I just have print out a paper and go to business. A very nice package of great ideas. Good that I caught this at the intro price.

Kolossal Knockout     $12  (PDF)

Highlights:

Thank you all for taking Kolossal Kisser and Kolossal Kicker right to the top of the hotlist here.

Here is the third and final part of this Kolossal series. Here the odds are an almost impossible looking 1 to 200. Or so it seems. A participant randomly and freely names any country on this planet and you know there are about 200 of them. The performer's prediction initially seems to miss but then again rises to an unexpected climax. All the hard work is done for you here and you just have to print and perform.


  • In Kolossal Kisser, the choice was from about 50-60 options like playing cards or years of birth.
  • In Kolossal Kicker, the choice was from about 80-90 options like words, places and emotions.
  • In Kolossal Knockout, the choice is from about 200 options like countries.
The ideas and methods in here further expand on those used in the earlier two parts and really take this basic principle right to the pinnacle of performance joy. The routine here is as much baffling to the audience as it is enjoyable to the performer.

Worlds Within Words     $18  (PDF)

Highlights:

A new principle "Proactive Anagram" is explained in this ebook. The power of this method is that it can be used to reduce a range of about 30 choices to just 5 choices in a single step. Normally, creating a progressive or branching anagram for about 30 or more words and performing it would be quite complex and cumbersome. That lengthy process would seem tedious to both the performer and the audience members.

But using this Proactive Anagram principle, a set of 30, 40 or even 50 different words can be reduced into a very short list of 5 or 6 words in a single step. This very interesting and powerful principle is a great tool which can be very useful for various prop less routines, if applied in the right manner.


A full routine with all the work done and ready to perform is included along with an alternative presentation process. In addition a mini routine is also included to show how quickly this can be constructed.

Further, a star sign routine using the Proactive Anagram principle is included which is totally prop less. This is a very interesting and flexible principle to learn and can be put to multiple uses. A country divination routine and a Hollywood star divination routine shared by David Burmeister is also included.

The Grow Devils Principle     $30  (PDF)

The experts say ...

"This is a great concept for those who love prop-less mentalism. This is clever thinking." - Marc Paul

"I really like your idea and your thinking. Keep up the good job, my friend." - Luca Volpe

"Another winner from 'wunderkind' Unknown Mentalist. A very useful technique(s) that I have taken for a road test. You will really like it." - Marc Salem

"A seemingly impossible thought divination, but only because of some very clever thinking by the Unknown Mentalist." - Stephen A. Yachanin


Highlights:

The Grow Devils Principle is a unique divination tool. A participant thinks of any word or name and the performer then proceeds to divine the exact name or word. This is what the audience will perceive from their point of view. It will seemingly appear like propless mind reading to the participants.

This Grow Devils Principle is a simple, sure shot, 3 step method for divining literally any thought of word or name in any category containing around 50-100 different words or names. All the necessary work to enable you to start performing this immediately has been done and included.

There are 4 different presentations which are explained and the necessary explanatory exhibits are also included.

  • Presentation One - Six Two Marvel
  • Presentation Two - Vital Sex Worm
  • Presentation Three - Wolves Mix Art
  • Presentation Four - Extra Slim Vow
There are also 5 routines which are included along with all the relevant information needed for you to start performing immediately.
  • Routine One - USA STATES - A participant thinks of any state in the USA and the performer divines it.
  • Routine Two - EUROPEAN COUNTRIES - Same as above for any country in Europe.
  • Routine Three - USA PRESIDENTS - A participant thinks of any one of the 45 US Presidents and the performer divines it.
  • Routine Four - MOVIE STARS - Same as above for popular male Hollywood movie star.
  • Routine Five - MUSIC ICONS - Again same as above for popular music icons.
  • Routine Six - FEMALE HOLLYWOOD STARS - A participant is asked to think of a popular Hollywood female star and the performer divines it.
  • Routine Seven - ANIMALS - A participant thinks of any animal/bird and the performer divines it.
  • Routine Eight - PERSONALITY TRAITS - A participant chooses a personality trait which she feels applies to her. It can be a positive or neutral or negative personality trait. The performer divines the choice exactly.
  • Routine Nine - PLAYING CARDS - A participant freely thinks of any one of the 52 playing cards and the performer is able to divine it.
  • Routine Ten - SPECIAL WORDS - A participant merely thinks of any one word from many categories like zodiac signs, colors, seasons, directions, planets or weekdays and the performer is able to divine this exact chosen word.
Some alternative presentations and additional ideas are also included. There is no math involved. Once you are prepared, there is nothing to reset between performances and these can be repeated with different outcomes. There is no dual reality or instant stooging. No sleights, no stooges or no pre-show. As usual, the method is simple but the presentation is important. A fantastic presentation idea shared by Lee Earle is included. In addition, another killer presentation using invisible/imaginary cards is also included.

For the participants these will appear like impromptu, propless and direct mind reading demonstrations. The principle lends itself to multiple applications. Some great ideas shared by Nico Heinrich are included.

Multilateral     $25  (PDF)

The experts say ...

"I loved it. Super simple but very effective." - Luca Volpe

"I really like your idea and your thinking. Keep up the good job, my friend." - Luca Volpe

"You've applied some great reverse thinking to the idea of multiple outs, well done. I like it!" - Marc Paul


Highlights:

This includes physical products, a set of 3 special business card sized gimmicks and a cute little wallet/case to hold them all together, which will be shipped to you. The PDF can be downloaded instantly from your digital shelf.

Main Effect - A participant merely thinks of anyone from among 4 or 6 famous personalities. This is a completely free choice and there is absolutely no force. Then the performer divines the participant's thoughts and writes it down on a business card and hands it over to the participant to hold. When the participant reveals her chosen person, it matches with what the performer earlier wrote. Since the details of the personalities might not be known to everybody, the participant herself can verify these on google. As a kicker, the performer shows how she was totally influenced right in the beginning. A stunned reaction is guaranteed.

Nothing is spoken or written down by the participant. There is no preshow, no stooges and no sleights. No swami, no switch and no gimmicked business cards. And there are no 'multiple outs'. The performer makes only one prediction/divination and it is always in full view. Everything is examinable.

You can add more phases and more kickers to the main effect. Everything is explained in detail.

Multilateral is a powerful principle which can be used for many other applications. In a way, this is the good old 'multiple outs' principle on steroids. It can also be described as 'multiple ins' as against 'multiple outs'. Surely, this will get your own creative juices flowing in different directions.

Deckless Divination     $12  (PDF)

Highlights:

This routine can be performed both close up and also over a video call or in a virtual show. Using a single double blank business card, you can divine a freely thought of playing card. The participant does not say anything and she does not write anything down. She thinks of a playing card mentally and silently. There are no peeks, sleights or anagrams involved. The method is self working. You can end up by leaving your business card as a souvenir (in case you are doing close up).

You can do this as a divination effect or a prediction effect. Several alternative ideas, an additional kicker phase, and a cool bonus routine are included. No equivoque, no dual reality, no pre show, no stooges or instant stooges, no electronics, no apps. Just you, the participant, the card and the impact.

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 ...

Straphanger     $18  (PDF)

Highlights:

Dictionary definition of 'Straphanger': (noun) a standing train or bus passenger who grips a hanging strap for support. (noun) a passenger who uses public transport.

A participant chooses a travel destination from a list of about 50 different places across the world. It is an absolutely free choice and there is no force. Next the participant settles on a single letter in her chosen destination. Then she uses a World War I secret code to translate her letter into a completely different letter. Finally she thinks of any country in the world, starting with that letter. The participant does all this mentally and silently only in her mind. And yet the performer is able to divine the thought of country.


Several variations and a propless version are included. There is almost no method to this routine except that the core of the underlying principle is just a single line of script and the rest is self-working. And the performer is able to show that the odds are almost impossible - one in 1.56 million.

This is really a high value idea being released as a $4.50 surprise given the present global situation. There is no math, no sleights, no switches, no peeks, no preshow, no stooges or instant stooges, no dual reality, no set up, no multiple outs, no electronics, no apps. This is instantly repeatable with a different outcome. You can perform Straphanger in both virtual as well as live shows. And the propless version can be done even on just a voice call.

Thot Card Xchange     $09  (PDF)

Highlights:

The effect as seen by the audience: The performer displays a red-backed deck and a blue-backed deck. Two participants each choose a deck freely. Then both participants mentally think of a different playing card each. They need not announce which card they are thinking of. Surprisingly, when each participant deals down their respective deck, they find their thought of card missing from that deck. As a kicker twist, each participant's thought of card is found in the other participant's deck.

Then both participants mentally think of a different playing card each. Each participant announces their respective thought of card. Again surprisingly, when each participant deals down their respective deck, they find their thought-of card to be the only card with a different colored back (say green or yellow or some other back).


There are totally 5 routines and 2 variations explained. Some routines can be performed totally hands-off by the performer. Some can be done totally deckless - without even a deck of cards. Some can be done as magic routines while some others can be performed as mentalism.

The basic principle involved here is fully self-working and is quite delightful to know. You will surely be able to come up with your own applications of this principle. There are no sleights, no stooges, and no preshow. There are no gimmicked cards involved and no arts and crafts involved. Two regular red- and blue-backed decks are used. The setup takes about 30 seconds for some of the routines. There is a one-time setup for a couple of routines which can last you for years of performances.

No stack and no marked decks are involved. The method is so easy that you will be able to learn and perform almost immediately. Do not be fooled by the low intro price - this is due to the extraordinary times we are all passing through.

Audio Peek     $06  (PDF)

Highlights:

Audiopeek is an unconventional peeking technique using the auditory sense and not the usual sight/vision sense. This simple and easy technique/method/habit can be comfortably incorporated into one of our most common everyday activities.

The Audiopeek technique consists of 3 steps, which are as follows.

  1. Creating conditions for performing an Audiopeek.
  2. Actually doing an Audiopeek when the conditions support.
  3. Using the information thus gained in an appropriate and impactful manner.


Audiopeek will yield some tremendous results to you in the long run without you having to invest any time or money into it. Just a simple and easy change of habit and you have a method or system for life which will help you to peek and reveal some of the most seemingly impossible information to your participants. Audiopeek has a couple of limitations.

  1. This is not a 100% surefire method.
  2. This is not an ‘active’ peek but a ‘passive’ peek. In other words, the process is not ‘proactive’ but only ‘reactive’ in nature.
Having said that, let me emphasise that the advantages far outweigh the limitations.

You will surely enjoy using Audiopeek.

Quirkey    $15  (Pdf + Gimmicks)

Highlights:

The performer claims that he has discovered a strange secret numerology code which is embedded in 3 of the most well known ‘Unsolved Mysteries of the World’ – The Bimini Road, The Voynich Manuscript and The Nazca Lines.

According to this weird discovery all the choices made by participants related to these ‘Unsolved Mysteries’ are amazingly and ominously predetermined, he claims. The performer then goes on to prove this to the utter astonishment of the audience.


The routine can be done in both close up or parlor venues and even in virtual shows.. Packs flat and plays big. The necessary gimmicks are included.

The method is simple, self working and totally hands off. It can be performed for one, two or even three participants at a time. It can also be performed remotely over phone or skype, if the images are shared beforehand or in a virtual show.

Needless to say, there are no sleights, no stooges and no pre show. No dual reality and no instant stooging. Nothing to reset and instantly repeatable with a different outcome. The props are fully examinable before, during and after the routine.

The theme, patter, props and overall presentation make this a lingering mystical memory for the audience.

I really like this cute little trick! Using the word lime a grid is formed and numbers on the back of a mysterious looking keychain are added up. The total revealed matches the one on the keychain. It can only be done once to the same spectator(s), but would work great on walk around or Zoom. A second trick comes with it and it is a bit longer. It gives several results, but I have not used it as it isn't as interesting a prop as the keychain. Good instructions on a downloadable pdf file, too.
