I've been fortunate to see Tamariz at conventions and have a question regarding a performance he does---this is not done as part of his show. At MagiCon a couple years back, he sat at a table in the large lobby area.
After a huge group gathered around, he chose different people and had them name a card. He then proceeded to locate it in a variety of reveals.---sometimes it was on top of the deck---others he would count down a number picked or spell their name. Etc This continued on for 10-15 minutes or more. He continued to amaze and entertain this audience of fellow magicians. You could hearthe screams of "no way". My question is --is this a routine in Mnemonica or our the basics taught in the book? Gene

Sounds like Mnemonocosis, the basics of which are in the book Mnemonica.

Mnemonica + improvise = miracles
Most memorable moment - with Maestro Juan Tamariz & Consuelo Lorgia in FISM Busan 2018.

Is Tamariz the only magician that does this type of routine?
Never seen anyone else---must be very difficult!

In his book "Tangled Web", Eric Mead has a whole section devoted to 'jazzing'. It might give you additional ideas.

The term "jazzin'" comes from a chapter in Workers 5 (1996) that is devoted to strategies for this type of effect.

Michael,
Good to hear from you---I went and dug up my "Workers #5"---some really great ideas in there that will be very useful. I also couldn't stop laughing, reading your story about getting stuck in the "MONCTON". Airport. That was a hoot! Gene

David Blaine jazzes on Mnemonica, I believe.
But more slowly.
