When it comes to an impromptu ( but not really) mental trick, I like to do "Future Influence" from Alain Nu's book, XXX Hardcore Mentalism.

Kenton's Truly Invisible from Wonder Words 2 is fantastic as you don't need anything at all. Performed as is you can normally hit the card dead on in 90% of cases and you'll not be far off (one card either side) in the remaining 10%. Combine it with an out like a Brainwave Deck and you'll slay.
Pulse stopping is good too as suggested by Mystic. Luke Jermay's 'For Andruzzi' from Seven Deceptions is one of the best of this type and can be terrifying if performed right. |

I like doing Osterlind's Perfected CT combined with Banachek's "Letters in a Word" revelation. When I first read about the CT in Corinda I dismissed it as something I could never imagine myself using. Seemed too old school for my tastes. Then...I saw Osterlind do it on his DVDs, saw the reactions, and I understood the true beauty of this simple effect, and for the first time really appreciated what mentalism is all about (thanks Richard!). Revealing the thought-of word using Banachek's technique from Psychological Subleties directs the participant's attention inside his own mind so well that he all but forgets about the piece of paper. He feels like you're crawling around inside his head, and it freaks him out. I must admit I was shocked the first time I hesitatingly did this and saw just how powerful the CT combined with a little convincing mind reading can be.
I also frequently do a "waking suggestion" presentation of the "pen through dollar" effect that, through talk of hypnosis and suggestion etc., leads the participant to think it all happened in his mind...that he only THOUGHT he saw the pen penetrate the dollar. Even though he knows he saw it clear as day, all my suggestions make him doubt his own senses...and instead of grabbing for the pen (and after he's looked at the dollar) he's left questioning his own perceptions and my ability to manipulate them. In this presentation it's not a "trick," it's a demonstration of the power of suggestion using some everyday objects. A simple effect anyone can buy at any magic shop, yes...but a true mind-bender when presented in the right context. Which is why I always carry the pen in my bag.... Mike

Agreed Mike, Banachek's Braingame IS awesome and is amazingly versatile in application in that it can be used with so many effects and can turn a simple forced card reveal into a seeming miracle. I combine it with Luke Jermay's Cold Emotion and a powerful suggestion routine in the letter reveal that feels to the spectator that I am inside their heads and that I am privy to their deepest thoughts. I would rate this as one of the best impromptu mind reading routines bar none.

I have to agree with mike, with the use of banacheks "letters in a word" revelation in conjunction with either a CT or the dictionary book test used on docc Hilfords real mind reading video, (is this principle larry beckers?)
the spectators really do get freaked, as you convince them that you knew exactly HOW they were thinking of certain letters in that word. fantastic
