All orders placed during the Nobrainer SUPERDEAL will be shipped on October 13, 2017. The promo video will debut on Monday but below is the complete ad copy and pricing for the Nobrainer packages. No sales will be received before Monday when the official webpage is ready to process the shipping labels, etc. See you Monday and thanks for your patience and support - as always. Cheers, Bill NOBRAINER - The Solo Prediction System. “As mystery entertainers we’re not in the business of doing magic tricks. We are in the business of making indelible memories.” - Bill Abbott The Closer Audiences can easily recall the ending of a show. I wanted to create a powerful closer that made a personal and memorable impact. I wanted something that everyone would go home talking about, remembering for days, weeks, months and years to come. Many pros close their show with an impossible prediction because nothing else can follow it. Practical Solutions Large scale prediction effects have always been a challenge for the solo performer. Many popular methods involve backstage assistants, inconvenient pre-show work, a designated backstage area, complicated electronics, bulky strange-looking props and are quite expensive. 12 years ago I started working on a prediction closer to my own one-man show. I wanted a bulletproof method and process that would work in any environment. I also needed something that would travel easily and safely, and that was practical and sure-fire at every gig. The Nobrainer Solution Imagine performing a large scale, impossible prediction routine, without the use of an assistant or special staging. Imagine walking on cold and delivering a multiple revelation prediction that engages the largest of audiences and shatters the sharpest of minds. With Nobrainer you will appear to predict the future, anticipate the thoughts and choices of your audiences and add a killer new 10 min. routine to your show! Peace of Mind With Nobrainer you can relax and enjoy your experience onstage knowing that your closer will be a killer AND you aren’t relying on a backstage assistant, rechargeable batteries or wondering if everyone at the back of the venue will be able to see the final revelation. The Trifecta Deception Nobrainer utilizes what I’ve entitled the Trifecta Deception. The Trifecta Deception is a layering of multiple methods that effectively dismantles the audience’s deductive reasoning. Psychological subtleties, coercion and real time methodology all work to produce a prediction revelation that delivers 100%, every show! Signed, Sealed & Delivered Because of Nobrainer’s flexible method you can mail it to your client days or weeks before the show. Your client brings the sealed envelope directly onto the stage during the show and without a switch of the envelope or the prediction you reveal amazing prophecy after amazing prophecy to a stunned audience. Alternately you could have the prediction envelope suspended high above the performance area by a cord and strong clamp to be lowered and revealed at anytime during your show. Add-On Advantage If you already have a more complex prediction system, that works for most gigs, Nobrainer will provide a good alternative when you don't have the luxury to perform with an assistant or have the right venue conditions. Nobrainer is a tool to build upon and offers a lot of flexibility with many useable ideas that can be adapted or added to most existing systems. Even if Nobrainer doesn’t replace your current show closer, it’s a useful system to have for special corporate performances or repeat clients where something fresh, customizable and mind-blowing is needed. Completely Customizable Every part of the Nobrainer prediction can be customized to suit your character, your act, or any special occasion. Nobrainer is something you can make uniquely your own and easily customize for a corporate event or a private celebration. Travels Easily & Safely Nobrainer travels easily and safely. The largest envelope used in the routine is 13” x 18” and fits in most show bags or carry on luggage. Included with the Nobrainer Pro Package is a black padded tool bag to carry everything necessary to make setting up a prediction on the road simple and hassle free. 8 Complete Routines with Full Scripts Included Each routine is complete with scripted theme, jokes and detailed method. All the necessary props are included to perform any one of the routines of your choice, and anything additional is easy to get and affordable to purchase. 1. Blind Date If you’re already using Celebrity Smart Ass you’re going to LOVE the Blind Date routine. A spectator creates a blind date scenario and makes several very distinct and personal choices and finally selects her partner. The sealed prediction matches her choices EXACTLY! 2. Sin City Jackpot Audience members imagine walking through a casino and rolling invisible dice, spinning an imaginary roulette wheel and physically tossing cards to the ground from a 52 card deck ending up with a single choice. Every mental choice is shown to be predicted 100%! 3. Magical Mystery Tour Audience members are asked to choose a departure time, random amount of spending money and location for an all-inclusive vacation! You not only anticipate every choice - your final prediction brings a hilarious twist ending to it all! 4. The Psychic Stranger The tables are turned and an audience member is challenged to read YOUR mind. Random objects, numbers and words are called out by the spectator…your sealed prediction is indelible proof of their true psychic powers! 5. Dream Car Based on Alan Shaxon’s original Confabulation routine audience members select the colour, make, model, the license plate numbers and letters of an imaginary car. Even the destination of a road trip taken in the car! Each choice has been predicted in complete detail! 6. Murder Mystery Perfect for the right audience and event! Audience members choose a victim, a murderer, a murder weapon, time of death and a location where the body was discovered. All is predetermined on your prediction! 7. I’m In The Band The audience forms a new band with band name, debut concert date and location! The prediction reads like a promotional poster with all the info to attend the band’s first concert! 8. PIN & Password The audience guesses your phone security code, creates their own password complete with letters and numbers and a top secret security word. You have predicted all of their choices leaving them to believe no secret is safe around you! PLUS The Nobrainer Pro Pack Includes Cody Fisher’s Comedy Confabulation reworked by Cody Fisher himself, to incorporate the new Nobrainer methodology creating a whole new version. Nobrainer Details: No pre-show No batteries No assistants No electronics No impressions No double writing No wardrobe alterations No fishing for information No small, hard to read revelation No stooges (instant or otherwise) Nothing written down by any spectator A complete 10 min. solo performance prediction routine system. Walk on cold and deliver a multiple revelation prediction that engages the largest of audiences and shatters the sharpest of minds. Practical, bulletproof and plays big. Nobrainer. The show closer.

I have CSA, 5 card Box Opener...
Just wondered if there was any info on Wheel of Extortion [?] is it an old effect [as I can't see any info about it] - or is it also new [?] Thanks |

Hello Bill. Am I correct in assuming is the methodology similar enough that you would not want to present a Smart Ass routine and this in the same show? Thanks

Thanks for your questions and interest!
The Duster, Wheel of Extortion is brand new. Unpublished work on the clock effect with extra cards, wallet & PDF book with routines, ideas, etc. Xcath1, The Smart Ass effect (both the customizable double blank deck and the original Smart Ass deck, both included) are used in several of the routines provided, but is not necessary to accomplish Nobrainer. It does create a nice well-rounded performance and is one of the force methods I use every time I perform Nobrainer. So to answer your question simply, it's up to you! Lseeyou, The Trifecta Deception method used in Nobrainer, uses real physical forces, psychological forces (that work 100% of the time) and real time choices made by random spectators. So, a part of Nobrainer is forcing, and a part is real-time info that is called out by audience members that appear on the prediction. magicbyswh, See above response to Lseeyou's question. On Monday morning more detail will be shown with the promo video, hopefully making it all more a little more clear. |

How many envelopes are involved in the routine
|
|||||||||
Bill Abbott Magic Veteran user 381 Posts |
Takeachance,
It depends on the routine and parameters you create for yourself and your audience. Short answer one, or two or three! You could go with one envelope if you pull it straight from your case/table and go into the effect. If you hand it to an audience member at the beginning of your show than you would want to have two envelopes for safety. If you mail it to your client days or weeks ahead of the show, then you need to have the mailing envelope plus the performance envelopes to do the reveal. Hope this helps. 24 hour SUPERDEAL starts at 9AM tomorrow. |

I will certainly buy this one day... I love the fact that the final prediction is on a huge sheet of paper that can be clearly seen and read by the majority of the audience. That's a game changer for a solo prediction.

Seems interesting but I kinda get a feeling that this is somewhat close to Cody Fisher Comedy Confabulation Pro that also has huge prediction and uses more than one envelope. Especially since Fisher routine is mentioned in advertisement. That said Fisher routine and method are ingenious and have so far been the best one person prediction effect out there. However Cody Fisher one needs a jacket if one wants to be extra clean.

Yeah, I'm interested in the similarities as well, I own Cody Fishers as well and think it is absolutely brilliant. This routine does not appear to use the clear view envelope which really adds to the impossibility of the trick.
Cody's prediction ends up on a full size sheet of paper, way smaller than what Abbotts routine ends with. |

I have used even A1-A2 size papers with Fisher version when Fisher only uses A3. It depends on the size of writing mainly. And it Abbotts case it is clear that you are not doing same thing than Fisher does so all predictions are not "real time" so that allows the size of the prediction be even larger. |

Hey guys,
I thought I would post my review of No Brainer. I ordered the Deluxe version long long ago, and received it on Friday. I have had a chance to watch the DVD, it is 2 hours in length. Bill leaves no stone unturned, and you even get to see 2 live performances. The props: Everything you need is included, even a tripod. Instruction: Expert instruction as per everything BAM puts out. Refills: Bill tells you about this, and where to get them online. Routines: Several routines you can use for this, and you can even come up with your own. The Trifecta Method is great, because you get 3 different ways to gain the information from a spectator. No pre-show is used, but you can use pre-show if you like. Crediting: All credits included, from past giants, to present Facebook Private group: You bet ya, and already great ideas in there popping in from different people. Will I use this? Certainly. Ease of use: Put away your Master Prediction Systems, this is the new standard. New method?? Not entirely, but the layering and way Bill uses this is a nice combination to get your juices flowing, and make it easy to use, and concentrate on your presentation. Overhyped?? Some people might think that, but it depends on if you will use this or not, I am sure 99% of the people that purchase this will use it in one way or another. Overpriced?? Some people might think that it is very expensive for what you receive, but if you sit back and think about this for a second, you are getting 12 years of Bill's life, as he has worked and honed this, you get all the props, plus expert instruction on DVD and pdf, as well as subtleties and tips, and to top it off, you can compare this with the MPS and the MPS is $1500 USD, I am not sure on the price, as I don't own one, and cannot be done solo, plus you need to bring the box and stand and everything else, plus an assistant, with NO BRAINER, Deluxe version is $400 USD, so for 1/4 the price of the MPS, you get a routine that you can come up with a myriad of ways to perform it, and layer it anyway you want to, sky is the limit. You even get Celebrity Smart Ass and Smart Ass DVD included in the Deluxe package, as well as the cards, that's awesome. I like the structuring of the routine, and the first time I saw Bill perform this, I was fooled, because I was wondering how he was doing it. Very smart way. All in all, you don't need the Deluxe version, you can purchase the original version for $350, but if you want all the extra bits and pieces you pay $50 more, your call. I am sure this will become a new standard in Confabulation routines among performers all over the world. Congratulations Bill, well deserved praise. Alex Alejandro
PRESET by Alex Alejandro & Dan Harlan now available for a special introductory price!

Agree with Alex's excellent review. Glad he did all the writing. Bill does not appear to price his effects "to move." It's a lot of money if you are not a pro or trying to be one. But it is entirely practical, one man, packs small and solves the problem of the small reveal.
Would I love that version where an assistant climbs a ladder to get the locked box that has been hanging from chains the whole show? Sure I would, and if you have that one this may not replace it but for the rest of us,a real world, packs small, plays big, one man(or woman) confabulation! I will use it. |
