Hi I have this idea kicking around my head about doing a silent mentalism effect at a table. I'm looking at perhaps something visual where maybe both you & the spectators have cards they are shuffled you both lay them down and they match. Or the effect where you have two small packets of tarot cards they are shuffled and match (cant remember what its called). Anyway, you get the idea? any suggestions/input on effects that may be adapted to a silent routine?

Very interesting. Right now I´m working in theater and I´m doing my blindfold act without any words. I know it sounds funny but just a little bit imagination and it works. I can´t give more effects but I´m sure that there are many routines and ideas that you can you do without any talk.

Ian,
I love dramatic metal bending with little or no words spoken. Think "Bent Cent", pulse stopping, etc. PK Time can be done with little said . . . you have to be quite careful when choosing effects where you will not speak.

Best,

Kioku can be done without a word said between you and the spec. You reveal the exact memory they are thinking of.

Kioku is a great example. Perfect, Roth Especially since the lack of spoken words makes it so much more powerful, IMHO.

I love Kioku, and have found that stretching the silence out during the build up can make the effect even more powerful.

Kioku is quite a remarkable effect and as close to pure mindreading as I have ever come. Moreover, the service from Rick and his company is outstanding.

How does Kioku differ from Derren Brown's Reminiscence?
You can PM me if you wish.
Thanks,

Ah thanks, sounds interesting

Have a look at the 'Silent Treatment' by I think Jon Allen. You could maybe adapt it more to Mentalism. (I have)

Hi ian, I discussed the idea of silent mentalism with others over at the sanctum. theres a really nice thread on it. I also mentioned performing for deaf people. you should check it out.
