Quarantine collections By Abhirup Roy ( 3 close-up mentalism effects)
This PDF is an outcome of collective thoughts and readings. Studying magic and mentalism is what has kept me motivated in this time of global Lockdown. Welcome to Quarantine collections !
Effect 1: Impromptu Pin Guess-
Imagine walking up to a random spectator and instantly reveal the PIN Code that they generated, moments back, without any funny business, spectator never says or writes any digit of the pin code.
Let me mention few of my thoughts for impromptu PIN Reveal which I feel are must for every impromptu PIN reveal and this has it all.
• Totally impromptu pin Reveal.
• A relevant plot, no pre-show involved.
• Zero memory works
• Spectator never says or write any digit of the pin code
• 100% bang on all the times
• Less memory work for spectator
• Practical to perform
Being said that I feel from the mentalist / magician’s point of view for an impromptu PIN guess, a reference point to start is needed and I feel in this PDF you will get an insight on that reference point that I took to reveal the PIN code.
Effect 2: Impromptu Index-
The effect looks like this-
After the formal exchange of words with your participant. You take the card out from the card case and hand it to your participant; they are to go through the deck and hand it back to you which you eventually put in the card case let the participant hold.
(Here you give a logical explanation like - since they went to the card now exactly they know which card is where based on their photographic memory and this is an experiment to test it.)
Now, you tell it was last evening that you took this deck and removed a card. You then ask your spectator to generate a random card inside their head and the card they name is the card that is missing from the Deck and is inside your pocket, solidifying the story that you said.
Even they can re-confirm by checking the deck.
• Perform as a go to effect
• Regular deck
• Nothing to carry just your usual card deck
Effect 3 - Openly Predicted:
An envelope which is introduced even before you start the effect that is in full view of the spectator and just one single card inside the envelope.
Proceed by handing the spectator a deck of card which they can Shuffle now after the shuffling is done it's time to test the coincidence.
Let the participant take the deck and deal the cards face up one at a time on to the table until they stop at a card, let's say the card that they stop at is Jack of clubs and is a perfect match with the tabled prediction that was there for the entire time.
A created co-incidence that will happen every single time even after shuffling a Deck of cards and only one card is used as an open prediction
• Can be done with a regular deck
• Principal itself can be utilized into other applications than a card deck
• Gimmick-less
• Instantly perform
