I wish you all the best in your pursuit of mentalism. But to real succeed you are going to have to focus a bit more. Don’t just read but study the books that have been recommended to you. Spend sometime alone with your notebook. Don’t spend so much time here. Don’t worry everything will still be here when you return. Good luck with your studies. I sincerely hope you achieve your goals. |

Like it or not Dynamike is more amusing than most of those who take his bait. If it were a reflection on the respective shows which you all put on, I know which one I would go to- got to be Mike all the way !!

I have not finished the whole book. I'm studying the chapters that interest me first. That is where I learned CT. I purchased the book last year in November. Early last year before I even heard of 13 Steps... I was asking where can I find CT because I had no idea what it was. I pictured it as an object at first.
I would say more, but I think I see a balloon passing by. |

Mind Power deck has to be right up there. The layman is used to "picking" a card, not merely "thinking" of one (from an apparently fair deck of 52)

Any effect where the process literally involves a 'thought of ...'. Not written down, picked out or handled in any way, simply thought of. Think about it, there are quite a few effects around of this nature these days.
By structuring the effect around the perception of a thought of possibility amongst many, layman just cannot begin to fathom what might have given you any clues and therefore often come to the conclusion that it may have been the real thing. Some will refuse to believe it wasn't. Often the key with these type of effects is the subtlety and confidence of your pumping skills. My 3 favourites are the Cassandra Deck, Mind Power Deck, Kennedy's Standed Mission. Cheers, Al

For quick and simple I prefer P-PICK Prediction Cards. I never have to touch anything as it can all be done in the spectators hands without any participation on my part...just a few words of introduction to make it interesting for the spectator. I won't even know the predicted sign until the spectator causes it to appear on the card that they chose.

I think this is a very strange topic. It seems like people are trying to analyse pieces of mentalism as if they were card gimmicks. Context and execution are everything if you're trying to perform mentalism close-up. You could make Osterlind's Watch Routine dull and pointless, or you could make a simple billet switch profound and shocking mind-reading.
The best close-up mentalism effect isn't going to be something you can by for 20 dollars, it's going to be a unique opportunity that you manage to capitalise on, and turn into something beautiful. When that happens, you have something worth discussing. |

Fogel At The Pentagon (Maurice Fogel)
This Way Out Outdone! (Stanley Jaks + Paolo Cavalli) NW Number Prediction (John Carney) Prevaricator (Patrick Redford) Shades Of Mind + Into The White Combo (Paolo Cavalli) Of course those are just a few that were now on top of my head... but it is virtually IMPOSSIBLE for me to list all of the amazing things I could do. There is NO such thing as ONE best effect, rather MANY best effects.
Then you'll rise right before my eyes, on wings that fill the sky, like a phoenix rising!
