mentalism

Anyone know the name of this one trick where you can bend a (seemingly) ordinary glass bottle? I remember seeing it somewhere and I'm totally blanking on the name.

So my girlfriend in India is having an open mic night where people come and perform whatever they feel like. This one mentalist comes up and performs this card trick where he asks her to think of a card, which he somehow guesses. That's not the trick, the real one was he made her call me and...

Hello all! I’m having trouble finding a mentalism effect I saw advertised on a video a while back (probably on YouTube). It was a mentalism card effect where the spectator thought of a card and the performer was able to read the spectator and tell them what card they thought of. I understand...

Based on a few books i have read, I mostly see that the effects are for stage and table mentalism. Are there any books i can purchase and read that does not require things such as a table, an assistant, a suit , etc. I'm looking for things that i can do casually (preferably standing with a...

I've been reading a few books on mentalism but most of them are for stage performance and set-up tricks. Is there any good mentalism effects where people can just come to me and say"Hey magic man! Do a trick for us" and that i would be prepared even without preparing anything before hand?

What would you say is the best, mostly impromptu silverware bending effect? I'd prefer not to have to use a gimmick but regardless of that, what would you say is the best? I've heard great things about Liquid Metal but what do you guys think? Also, if I don't own the original Liquid Metal, is...

I've read colossal killer and fundamentals (great books) but I don't think that is enough. Are there any suggestions?

Hi, I am Alessandro I'm new on this forum and I've been practicing magic only since September. I would ask, if it's not against the rules, if someone could suggest me a way to force one of 5 less or more cards face up on my hand in a 99% secure way.

I wanna publish my first effect on the market, but I'm not sure if it's original enough and I can't decide the price for it, it's basically an imaginary which hand routine, here's how the effect goes : The first three phase is just guessing where the imaginary coin is The first one, I told them...

Hey all. Just thought I would drop a line and see if anyone knew what the effect was the DB used on jimmy Fallon and quest Love. Where David asks Quest to coubt off 10 cards. Then asks him to place them close to his heart, then asks Jimmy for a number between 1-10 and BOOM! jimmy's selected...

Hi guys! I'm working on an original effect and I need some help. I need a way to be able to hand out a flap card before it's flapped without having to worry that it'll change. The crease down the middle doesn't matter for this effect. If you have any solution, please let me know! Thanks for any...

I've read in a few magazines and websites about a center tear when talking about mentalist routines. From my understanding, it's a slick move to take a peek at whatever was written on the paper. I've tried to look up a few methods, but I can't find any at all. Any pointers on how to perform this?

In this video, timon krause performs a routine in which he asks allison to place a coin in one hand or the other, and is able to tell which hand each time, but for the final round, he removes a prediciton from his pocket. You can see the ink through the back of the paper and it reads 'GHT GHT'...
