Easy Mentalism

Here's a good example of of a mental magic effect that anyone can learn to perform. Work on it and it will serve you well...

 

Effect:

 

Ask someone to mentally select a name (or any object, or favorite sports team ). Give them a writing pad with five horizontal lines drawn and ask them to write their selected name on one of the lines. Then, write four other unrelated names on the other four lines.

 

Take the pad.. look at it intently.. study it.. and then audibly call out a name - and announce that you do not think that name was the spectators selected name. Call out two more names and tell your audience that your are sure they are not the spectators names either.

 

Now.. down to the last two names.. study real hard and announce the chosen name.

 

Secret:

 

Give your spectator a RED fine-point or micro ink pen. I use a Uni-ball micro. Just before the effect, touch the tip of the red ink pen to the felt tip of a BLACK marker, like a Sharpie marker.

 

When your spectator writes their selection on one of the lines, the very tip of the first letter will have a "dark" appearance. If you practice for a few minutes before you perform this effect, you will learn exactly how hard to touch the tips together to achieve a virtually un-noticeable 'smudge'.

 

NO ONE will notice this smudge, but you.. It will appear as if it's just a little excess ink on the tip.

 

Again, take the time to work up a Good Story to go with this effect, and you will have a little bit of impressive mental magic to add to your repertoire...

 

If this effect appeals to you, then I have an extremely affordable ebook ( less than five dollars ) full of similar effects I think you'll enjoy. I've learned some amazing things from EASY MENTALISM, and I think you will too..!
