I am still floored by this effect and would love to know if anyone knows where I can learn this.
Back in 2004, I attended a magic/hypnotism show by "Raven". It was your typical entertaining half magic & mentalism half hypnotism show and I was one of about 350 people in the club. But the next day I went to the local magic shop to see what was new and "Raven" was there showing the hired help how to do the tricks that they were selling. I approached him and told him that I really liked his show the previous evening. He was very nice and told me that if I liked the show and had such an interest in magic that he could show me something that I have never seen. He then told me to "think" of a person's name. He took a business card and a pencil out of his pocket and then told me that the person I was thinking of was a female. I kept a deadpan face as I know all about reading faces and did not want to give him anything to go on. He then told me that the person that I was thinking of had 5 letters in her name. I still did not budge. Then he wrote a name down and handed me the card as he said, "Is, Sherri your mother?" He did the same trick to the store owner who couldn't believe what he had just seen and wanted to see for himself. To this day, I have spent hours upon hours trying to figure it out and research every mentalism book and dvd that I can get my hands on. I have even asked around at magic conventions but have never come close to the secret behind this. Does anyone out there know how this was done. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. |

The hired help was your mother in disguise acting as a stooge
Can't explain how he did it to the other guy though Must've been ESP or something |

Probably he was using the secret "back-bones" pen gimmick coupled with the Mata-Hari subtlety...
But who knows?... Just a guess! I know well how the Mata-Hari subtlety works (having used it myself so many times) but I've never seen someone who was able to couple it - with success - to the "back-bones" pen... Sorry, I cannot tell for sure, and, plus, this is an open forum.

I saw Ravens show too. Very good. Nice guy. I do not think he ever wrote anything in a book. So maybe its just his secret and we should keep it that way.

It's obviously a mathematical oddity.
Sherri has six letters! |

Postlife, all I can say about that is are you sure that you are remembering all that transpired on that day 3 years ago? Really try to think back about the words and actions of Raven.

Nope! I tell you guys it was Mata-Hari subtlety coupled with back-bones pen gimmick. The more I think about that, the more I'm sure of that.
But, as Tom Kracker pointed out, there was also some ancient byzantine code of numbers (a=1; b=2; etc.) at work.

Paollo, you know you're only saying that because in your book you'll be selling a remake of the mata-hari subtlety that you invented known as the Mata-cavalli subtlety.
Speaking of paollo what happened to that thread about yopur new book and when is it coming out Im stoked, I love your stuff!
I love magic!

You mean the thread "X-Rays" Notepad?
It's just a few lines down under this one - at the moment

The trick only works if your mothers name is Sheri.

It's a known fact that it's possible to tell names and words by body language.
I hope it's alright to tell it here.. When the eye moves a bit to left and then down, then it means it's something that starts with SH. Which would be easier for the Raven, because not many names begin with that. It was either that or Sharon.. sometimes you have to take a chance! |

You're right- eyes to the left and down is SH... then if they shuffle some pocket change it's almost always followed by ERI...
Unless they have one finger in their ear, then it's definitely SEYMOUR...
When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth...
