BrianMel,
If you are wondering HOW she obtained the number Penn wrote on the piece of paper, then you don't deserve to be called a "mentalist"...

Dorian, I am not a mentalist. I think that much is obvious. And RedDevil, thanks for the words. I am actually not new to the Café. I used to post here Many years ago and I was very active under a different account, but I can't remember the user, so I am using this account now. And times were much different back then. People went out of their way to help each other out. It was a community of magicians eager to pass the craft to one who is willing to learn. Now it seems this is a place where any post you make you just get attacked on. Even when I ask for simple advice on technique or ideas for a new trick I am working on, instead I get attacked on what ****ty background I am filming in. Why isn't it professionally shot? Etc... If I see a card sleight like the pass and I have never seen it before, maybe have seen it on TV or on the Internet and I come on the Café to ask what the name of the slight is and where I can learn it, I would expect some magician to direct me in the right direction not attack me and say how dare I try to learn the secrets of magic. So thanks for the people who gave positive posts. I will check out the books mentioned. And I also completely missed what penn said. I guess I wasn't paying attention. After rewatching the episode I was able to determine the method. And the method is all I was concerned with, not the magic squares part of the routine. I wanted to come up with my own prediction routine using that method. Now I just need to figure out the fold and tear. Like I said, I don't generally like to perform other people's effects. I have nothing more to add to this forum. Thanks.

Just putting it out there
I while ago (at least a year) I was an admin of a well known FB magic group. Allison posted an ad for her upcoming show which was against the rules (self promotion without admin permission). I wss then heavily, heavily flamed in private message by her for removing the ad and she called me "rude"and tried to tell me how to run the group. She literally sent me paragraphs and paragraphs about what I was doing wrong, it was ridiculously unprofessional. I'll never respect an arrogant performer that doesn't respect others. |

But this is not about her as a performer or person.
It's about a magician wanting mentalists to give him the method to an effect.
There is no holy grail!

I was just surprised that being in magic for 20yrs the OP didn't know of the basic method she used to obtain the info. There are so many variations of the basic technique. Using it to complete a MS is also not new. Even as a magician the basic technique is in Mark Wilson's Complete Magic book. There have been many back and forth posts. The only method no one has revealed was the DD and it shouldn't be revealed. There are many ways of accomplishing that kind of effect, but her personal method shouldn't be revealed.

I think most magicians come to this section after witnessing strong mentalism and want to learn more about what they saw. I know that's how I got started in mentalism a few years ago. I asked about certain effects I wanted to learn to add to strolling gigs. I was met with what I thought was hostility at first because nobody was sharing secrets. People were giving me some basic book resources, but I wanted specifics. I took others' advice on here, stuck around, learned as much as possible, and am continuing to learn. I think that's what everyone here is suggesting to you. They have offered resources and have pointed you in the right direction. The mentalists are very protective of material and I'm glad they are. This way, fantastic effects and routines are not plastered all over YouTube by performers who haven't put in the effort. There are so many poor performers on YouTube giving up magic secrets knowingly and unknowingly due to their lack of practice and ability. I completely understand why methods in mentalism are so protected.

If I may say the OP seems like a self absorbed jerk.
The Café remains a generally positive place for those that have a good attitude without getting an attitude. It's a shame too as everyone here including me has been kind, respectful and helpful even though he doesn't see it that way. My final post here. Another one bites the dust.

Because its the same as giving a link to it on a torrent site unless it was actually uploaded by The CW

I appreciated the link myself - YouTube can and will take it down if the producers choose to do so.

Sorry if I offended some of you by giving a youtube link in order to watch the show. Not everyone lives in the US.
