Hi everyone.
My name is Chris Hughes and I have just joined Magic Café after spending many years just being a reader. I have been a mentalist/hypnotist for 12 years and have performed all over the world. I am very much looking forward to meeting some new people to exchange ideas with I would however like to request the assistance of this forum. I am doing a stage show to raise money for cancer research and would really like to do the following... 1. Have someone in the audience come up on stage and ring someone they know on a mobile phone that is plugged into the theatres sound system. 2. Then do some kind of mentalism effect with them and the person on the phone. Does anyone know of any good effects that I could look at/purchase etc. It is a bit like radio mentalism but I have not found anything that seams to fit the stage environment. All ideas are welcome Chris Hughes |

Brainwave deck automatically jumps to mind and also the use of a NW.

I agree with Markh, very logical and first thing to pop-up to my mind and Lior mobile opener, also the seceret of invisibilty from Cody Fisher.
In fact there are so many effects to do After 12 years in the mentalism fields you should have some ideas shouldn't you ?!

Why ID? Wouldn't they think it's staged? Mobile opener wouldn't work in this case the way he describes the criteria.

Certainly any NW routine would work.
Any kind of prediction effect would work well, also. This is what I do: Everyone is connected by numbers. There was a time when we consciously associated ten digits with most everyone we knew. These digits were their phone number, of course. Now we rely on technology to remember for us. I perform an effect where someone comes up on stage and thinks of the last person they talked to on his or her phone ( they don't write anything down). I then describe the person and get their name (No NW or secret writing). I ask the subject if they had to name a digit 0 through 9 which comes to mind? They name a digit. I next ask him or her to call their thought of friend and ask the same question. They do and I've predicted whatever number has been named. It's a fun routine. The name divination can be a lead in to any number of on-stage over-the-phone experiments (see Transpose - the Mindvention lecture notes 2007 -Patrick Redford for my most current handling or the original handling published in Mendacity. I'm sure you can reverse engineer it from the above. -PGR |

You can PM and I will give you an idea that can be very good for the function you are doing the show for.

Luke jermay has an effect where a spec calls there friend, reads them a short note, and asks the friend 3 questions...the answer to the questions are shown to be predicted by the performer... I don't perform it, but it sounds cool and like what you're looking for.
I cant recall the name right now, maybe someone can chime in with the name... |

All of these are good. My suggestion, not that it is thought of as being a piece of mentalist magic, but the invisible deck works really well.
Peace
