mentalism

Hey everybody! I’m looking to release a new effect soon to the Marketplace called Unread. This is an effect I have been working on since 2015 and it involves the use of social media. It’s a fun mindreading effect that also can help you get followers. Currently still waiting on it to be approved...

I've recently been looking into Lior Suchard and his performances like guessing PIN numbers or names. He doesn't claim to have any supernatural/psychic powers (e.g. he can't read thoughts directly), but instead uses body language, facial expressions & non-verbal cues to guess what number...

I've been looking for a decent peek wallet to use as my every day wallet for awhile now and keep bouncing between different options but most of them don't seem suited to being used as a real wallet. The few that I have found aren't really my style or I don't like the peek. The one I keep coming...

Hey everyone! So the other day I was watching David Blaine on Ellen and I really liked the second trick that he does. It's a great effect (I would also like to perform his version someday) and it got me thinking about a trick, where 2 spectators each choose a random card from 2 different decks...

Hello! I’ve been creating tricks that focus more or performance and presentation, rather than the magic trick itself. For example, I created a trick that’s a choose your own story, with a reveal that I predicted the story all along. Another one is a dance off between two spectators, where...

Hi everyone! Presentation is a huge part of Mentalism, without a good presentation, your magic trick is no different from others. I want to watch other Mentalists performing, so I can get an idea of how professionals perform, so it would be a huge help if you could link some videos or name some...

To start, I've read Banacheck's Book on CMR, as well as William Larsen's writing on the subject, which, all in all, is phenominally helpful. My experience with CMR is that I perform a lot better with an assortment of objects laid out in front of a spectator and have them focus on one of them. I...

Hello everyone! I'm happy that I released my new effect "Virtual Impossible Prediction". It's a mentalism routine for online shows & performances. A new method to achieve the cleanest prediction you've ever seen... It's similar to the master prediction as a mindset, but the method is...

Hi guys, I hope all of you are ok and I wish you a merry Christmas in advance and a happy new year after this very hard one. Recently I attended a show in Colombia and there was an effect that caught my eye, it was a version of the known effect where the spectator choose a color, they color a...

Hello! Brand new to the magic scene-- long time fan, just now at 32 deciding I want to learn about as many of my interests as possible. I grew up fascinated by wizards and the true potential of the human mind. Everything dealing with magic transfixed me, whether it was "real" or "illusory" (I...
