Hello!

I know some people like to stick with one "discipline" like illusions OR mentalism, but I feel a bit different about that.
I think it would be great to reveal something powerful with mentalism but in a beautiful visual way using illusion principles.

While I am mostly performing mentalism these days, I am curious if anyone has any examples or ideas of someone mixing mentalism with illusion.

Personally I am trying to come up with something that isn't too elaborate (in terms of (super) expensive and large equipment) But still something that ads to the "stage presence".

I would really appreciate some ideas of where I can start, perhaps any books, videos, or even examples in general.

(btw... this is a new account as I'm locked out of my old one. Been a member of TMC since 2012)

Thank you in advance.

read the ad blurb and see if it's what you want.

You'll have to search around for it though.

This is a great suggestion thank you. Looks like it has several mentalism related illusions. Smile

That's exactly what Copperfield does with that license plate prediction to car appearance.

I have done my fair share of illusions mixed with Mentalism. Easiest path is an appearance of whatever was predicted.
