Hello, guys, I'm had been watching that trick about 5 days, where the illusionist is guessing the password of random person's iPhone. I tried to find some tutorial on internet, but I didn't find anything. Can anyone help with that trick? I mean can someone explain how is this happening?


Thank you.

Why are there suddenly all these people asking for methods?

RedCavalier - we are not going to expose the method in a public forum. That's really frowned upon by magicians.

How much mentalism or magic have you studied?

I will say the truth, not enough for this trick, but I thought, may someone want to share it. Ok nvm, thanks for the answer.

Ok so you're new to this style of routine. That's fine.

I'm assuming you meant no harm, and just don't yet understand how the magic world really operates. Quite possibly you've come from Instagram and YouTube where people frequently give away secrets they have no rights to reveal. But if you're going to take magic seriously, that's not a practice to indulge in.

People who come up with these methods, particularly the good mind reading routines, tend to be either professional performers, or at least people who sell to performers. So, by asking for us to give you the technique for free, you're asking for us to give away a portion of someone's livelihood for nothing. Can you see why that's a problem?

So - you want to learn how to guess passwords. Do you have a link to the video you mean specifically?

The place I recommend starting to learn these skills is always Bob Cassidy's Fundamentals. It's an eBook and not terribly expensive. It teaches you the foundation skills for mentalism and mind reading. From there you'd want to check out Practical Mental Magic by Annemann, and then on to Fraser Parker and Peter Turner's material. If you're feeling bold you could just start with Turner and Parker's stuff - but you'll have an easier time of it if you understand the foundations they are working from first. Oh yes and 13 Steps to Mentalism, after Fundamentals. And if you're loving the genre, The Artful Mentalism of Bob Cassidy is good, too.

Yes, actually I'm one of those guys you came from Youtube. But I hope this is not a problem.

Thanks for the explanation, why I should not ask for a tutorial on tricks. And thanks for suggestion what to read about mentalism and mind reading, because I didn't know from where I should start that routine.

About the video, this is the link to one person who performs that trick.

Never heard of that guy before. Not badly done.

Most likely he's using Peter Turner's work. Possible a thing by, I think, Geraint Clarke with a Turner-styled presentation but given how close it is to Turner's stuff, he is probably also using his methods.

So there you go - look up Peter Turner and be prepared to put some work into it.
