I always liked the idea of making the spectator read someone else's mind. That's beautiful. Derren Brown did something like this in his series. Is there any method without stooging? Is there any impromptu method? I have my version when the spectator reads another spectators two digit number. I would like to hear something from you.
Thanks!
PS: sorry for my english

There is a wealth of information out there about this, you just have to know what to look for. The DR principle is a very good way to start. Check out "Wonder Words" by Kenton Knepper for more info and to learn the proper linguistics to pull off a good DR effect.

There is a way the spectators calls out black or red cards throughout half a deck of cards. At the end the cards are turned over, each card the spectator called is in the corect color line.

Jim Callahan stuff is first class. If you don't have his "lo shu package" or his "leap of faith" what are you waiting for ????

I have Leap of Faith and was floored by it. I am tempted by both the lu shu package and the tarrot test. I am unsure of the tarrot test tho becuase I am in England the DVD maight not play in my DVD player. However is the DVD something I could reshoot myself and put on to DVD?

It is explained in the book "Magic with Cards," by Frank Garcia. I can not remember the exact name of the trick, but it is found in the "Mental" section. I love to perform this self-working trick.

I don't know about that. I'd rather have nothing than a kick in the gonads, for instance.

Don't know for sure if you can present as "spectator being the mentalist" but what Im sure of is that in a recent show Ive been amazed by spectator calling out any word they wanted and that word only was circled inside a little dictionary. spectator looked for the word and it was there;was so clean that I have no explanation,unless a "stooge" was in ??

I don't really have much experience with mentalism but card trick Untouched by Daryl can amaze people so much if presented as a miracle.

Still thinking about that one, uh? Well, you are just one among many!

I know from personal experience that this one is a true BRAIN-BAFFLER for most, if not all, audiences. And NO, no confederates or secret assistants used.

No electronics (as a dealer's ad would say!) and no pre-show of any kind.

I think that our own Tony Eye, from the Café, can confirm what I have stated above is 100% true!
Then you'll rise right before my eyes, on wings that fill the sky, like a phoenix rising!

If you have SYZYGY there is a great test in there where thought tansfer takes place between to specs.

There are plenty of effects that can be spun so they have this presentational ellement.

Most of what do in relation to PK is just that. The results come from the spec.

It is an interesting plot and plays incredibly strong. Osterlind's watch routine has a spec as mentalist kicker -- and it kills...

I have some ideas (which I've used, to happy ends) about routines involving married couples, the theme of which is: women wish men could read their minds -- let's see if that's possible. The husband is stooged, but still doesn't know exactly what happened, and is all too happy to seem like a hero to his wife. If anyone would like to hear more, PM me.
