On the wonderful "Conversations with Mindreaders" CD-set, interviewer Ben Cummings poses an interesting question to the worlds leading mentalists: "If you could only perform 3 effects for the rest of your life, what would they be?" It's a very difficult question to answer, but I would have to say a peek/cold read combination, BCS and a QB 2 coin bend. I'm curious as to what you guys would choose.

John Archer's 'Spelling test' as an opener, a version of "Kurotseke" (?sp.) and "Lockerbie" - my own triple/epic prediction of a death toll, place and 'type' of disaster (after Bruce 'Dr Spektor' Ballon's routine in Flytrap).

I'd like to be in a position where I could do the Naked Book Test close-up. Or maybe have the guts to do the Canasta book test.
Then ... maybe ... Real Deal by Phil Smith, but for one person and not a crowd ... with some CR afterwords afterwards. Then ... envelope prediction. In a fantasy land I'd like to levitate, then go invisible, then induce temporary paralysis in my spectator.

I think levitating and going invisible WOULD cause temporary paralysis in your spectator anyway!!

Ha ha. Yes I suppose it would.
Well, in that case, I get a fourth strike, so I'd like to make my retinae (if that is the correct word for the plural of retina) go red ... or maybe yellow.

Although I don't consider these effects, for performiong, I would choose the Q&A act, psychometry, and palm reading.

My own hateful page booktest, as its served me well...
OOTW and my own Q&A, using a little invention of mine... by the way, regarding OOTW, I was reading this small book on how to conduct true esp experiments, written by Dr.Richard Wiseman (with a credit list of some underground names, I giggled when I also saw Max Maven with a credit too), anyway, some of the people who were the "testers" agreed that out of all the kinda close-up card mentalism type work they saw when being briefed, if they had to say which looked "like the real thing"... it would be OOTW...
I've asked to be banned
