The mentalist just smiles and tells her it doesn’t really work that way, in fact he invites her to have a tea and then he explains her more about the way in which mindreading works.
After some talking, the performer proposes an experiment in telepathy.
He takes out 2 small writing pads, 4 color markers and 3 cards, explaining they have around 70 different words on them in different colors. They are used for mindreading as the words can be imagined or visualized without any difficulty by the spectator.
So as a first step, she chooses any card and is asked to think of any of its different words at all (it’s a free choice).
The mind performer gives her one of the pads.
He gives a step away and looks away as not to look at anything that she draws from now on.
She begins to draw a part of the object; first she will draw the bottom part of that drawing… then the middle and finally the top part of it, giving it full completion.
The performer now asks her to hide her drawing and don’t let him see it… he turns back and walks toward her…
Now, he takes his pad and asks her to close her eyes and visualize this object… and to imagine how it would make her feel.
As he’s drawing some mental impressions he says…
“This is something that you could find at the sea…”
“It would make you feel peaceful, if you imagine you’re now in there, right ”
The mentalist concludes his drawing and hands her out a sheet of paper, asking her not to look at it yet.
Finally, she is asked to name the thought of word for the first time.
She says: “I was thinking of a boat…”
“Wow… Please look at that sheet of paper I just gave you…”
She looks at the drawing and smiles; completely amazed…
She may take this boat drawing as a souvenir to remember this fantastic moment…
_____________
- Almost 70 different words used, the EXACT word is divined correctly without anything said by the spectator.
- No impression pads, memory work, dual reality, preshow or stooges used.
- Ideal for Powerful one on one Mentalism or Stage (3 spectators).
- Can be done without anything written down or drawn by the spectator!
- New, amazing, revolutionary secret for mindreading!
In the short time I’ve known Andreu, I’ve come to admire the way his mind works. He has a knack for taking clever effects and systems and turning them into something even cleverer; Tribal Mentalism is a great example of this.
Be on the lookout for some more great ideas from him! - Paul Carnazzo.
