Anate :: Extended

Anate is a linguistic technique that I released to the magic world last year after muchtesting and development.

Since the initial release, I have continued work on the principle and have heard frommany magicians over the last so many months regarding new routines, thoughts andouts that they use.

I have put together this supplement for the original Anate manuscript to details someof these further developments.

This is intended as a supplement to the original ebook, so I wont go over the originalscripting. I will include additions to the original script which can act as strengthenersto the initial force.

ithout further a due, thank you for purchasing, take the time to read through themanuscript and lets blow some minds.

Strengthening Techniques and Outs

This first chapter Ive dedicated to e!tra scripting to strengthen the force, this is idealfor people having some difficulty as it adds further layers of implication.

ell also discuss the thought of using a dual reality in the force, this will allow for a"##$ hit rate, thought it will be creating a different effect for the participant and theother audience members.

%inally, well talk about building lines into the script to allow for particular outs.

Script Additions

hen Anate was first released, the forums erupted with all sorts of comments, bothnegative and positive.

&ne thing that I noticed was a comment from 'evin (night, he mentioned theaddition of an e!tra line before the script, which for him made it completelyfoolproof.

The noted line is as follows)

Id like you to complete this sentence for me

I thought that this was a fantastic idea, the thought of activating the correct mindsetbefore the script. So I looked further into it * I wanted it to sound less like acommand, but to have the same effect.

Do you ever get that feeling, when you finish a close friends or lovers sentence

Id like to try something like that now, an experiment in synchronicity I have a card

here

The inclusion of this sets a nice frame for the effect, sounds a perfectly logical thingto say and has the effect of the aforementioned line.

The counting technique

Another psyche leading that I stumbled on to quite recently, but it works beautifully,even without the A+AT force in place. Its again a very simple technique, but a niceaddition to the script or as opposed to using A+AT.

Im going to have you think of a num!er !etween one and ten ok" #o in your mind

youll go one and two and three and four and five and so on and so on $ou can do

that for me"

ssentially the leading behind that is that were finishing their count on -, but because

weve replaced the last two numbers with so on/ its quite invisible. I also gesture asI count thru, making a point on each number to emphasi0e gently.

Building up the out

I think when theres the possibility of a miss, its always wise to build up to the out *i.e. briefly mention something that makes the change of pace logical when thetechnique fails to hit.

1y preferred out is the effect 2&(I, which Ive included here, but first well learnhow I transition from an A+AT miss to a powerful presentation of 2&(I.

%eople excite me &heir thought patterns and the concept of making educated

guesses at what theyll do next or how theyll react to a certain situation is a

fascinating pass time Id like to try something with you now, an experiment in action

predicted I need you to !e open to this and allow your su!conscious to make your

decisions' well try and create something incredi!le together (k" )reat

+ow comes the most important part. Something that is very subtle and will be

forgotten completely if not used, but frames the piece perfectly if it needs to move onto become 2&(I.

Simplicity is key here * Almost as good as the word an./

*irst, Id like you to hold out your hand

3lace one of the -s on their hand ready to perform A+AT. 'id you catch it4

The word first./ It makes all the difference. It says that this little test is before theactual e!periment. This is only called on however if it misses, like the following)

&he num!er + Interesting &hat tells me a lot a!out you and I think that from that

pretest you will !e ID-./ for this experiment I have 0 poker chips here

%rom there you are perfectly driven into 2&(I, which I will now e!plain in full. Thiswas originally published in my book %ieces 1 0am available fromwww.1indlapse.net

Loki - Poker Chip Location

&he performer takes out three poker chips of different colours (ut of sight these are

mixed and a spectator is asked to place each one in a different pocket while the

performers head is turned, or he is !lindfolded

&he performer turns around and reveals where each chip is located through

supposedly reading !ody tells

This is a very simple effect to perform, though looks incredible to all those present *all needed is three different poker chips, I use a black a red and a white. In place ofthese folded business cards can be used for a completely impromptu presentation.

The secret4 5ou 6ust need to keep track of the location of the chips. Told you it was
http://www.mindlapse.net/http://www.mindlapse.net/


4/14

simple7

I use an alphabetical stack * The chips go in order, 8lack, 9ed and hite.

hat makes this convincing is that the chips are apparently mi!ed out of sight. In

reality, the order is 6ust reversed.

Ill have the chips in my left pants pocket and take them out as I begin my script. Illcasually re:order the chips in my right palm so that they are stacked ;from bottom 0ones of my hand to identify which chip has been taken.

&utstretching the left hand with the chips lain in position, in order, with the head stillturned away, I will ask the spectator to pick up one of the chips. I make sure to pauseso that they complete this task before moving on * if you are dealing with a trickierspectator and you immediately say take one of the chips and place it in your left pants

pocket, they may try and catch you out7

So, you will ask them to pick up one of the chips, say the pick up the black, you thensay)

2ow please place this in your left pants pocket and let me know when you are done

+ow you know that the black chip is in the left pants pocket.

5ou need to simply repeat this process for the right pants pocket and then ask them tohold the final chip in their outstretched right fist.

At this point Ill make sure that they are finished and then turn around.


5/14

I use a script based around body tells, so Ill go into the concept and then grip theirfist in mine and place my hand on their shoulder.

This creates a really nice frame for the rest of the audience and also breaks the contact

barrier between this spectator and yourself, so its a perfect effect to open on.

Ill say the word =black as I look them in the eye. I pretend to read their reaction tothe word and announce in a slightly unsure way)

/eft pocket %lease show everyone3

I go from there to reveal the chip thats in their hand)

(k, lets try for the chip in your hand

I stare at them for a moment and announce the relevant colour.

4hich of course leaves the white chip in your right pant pocket3 &hank you very

much3

This is such a simple and direct performance in effect and method. As mentioned, Iuse a body tell style presentation, which I find works very well for me as anintroduction to that false e!planation. If you are more of a psychic entertainer, or a

bi0arrist * you may find that an energy field reading or with a thumb writer, maybe aprecognition routine will suit.

Other outs and out advice

The inclusion of 2&(I brings us right to our ne!t sub6ect * %urther outs.

ssentially my theory on outs is that unless I can cover every outcome, I will want tocancel the e!periment altogether, erase its e!istence from the audiences minds byeither posing it as something else or making it insignificant.

I think the scripting Ive used for 2&(I is quite comprehensive, even if youre not

using 2&(I * any effect of a psyche nature would suffice7 &ther outs can of coursebe used, and thats what Id like to talk about here.

A few people mentioned to me the use of a brainwave or invisible?ultra:mental deckfor practicing the script. @sing either of these means that you can practice to yourhearts content and not worry about missing. hen youre confident enough you canmove onto using 6ust a single card if you wish to equivoque the suits, or a packet offour eights.

Any name a card style effects or inde!es could be used as an out or practice tool forA+AT, some of the best Ive used are (ollosal (iller, 8ang:&n and 'aniel

1adisons Advocate.Applications and Effects


6/14

I only really described the flagship effect Simple! (iller/ in the original manuscript,so Im dedicating a lot of this supplement to the inclusion of ideas for applicationsand routines.

Ive been kindly granted access to a number of peoples personal A+AT routinesand for that I am grateful to all the guys who have submitted effects below7

A(nate)CR Chris La!!ert"

hris has a knack of putting together awesomely simple routines with a real magicaltwist. 8eing a magician as opposed to a mentalist, this is hris personal take onA+AT and the routine hes been using for some time now.

The first phase is simpleB you will ask the spectator to think of any card from theshuffled deck.

@se the anate method to give the illusion that the thought of card has risen to the topof the shuffled deck.

&bviously, the anate card 6ust starts on top of the deck. 5ou can false shuffle or cut toyour hearts content, so long as the cards on top, youCre already a step ahead of thegame.

At this point, you can have the card signed and proceed with your preferred A9.

I dont know what else I can write, as everybodys A9 is different, and from thatpoint, it would go back into CregularC territory.

I suppose, we could forego having the card signed at all, and as we show the card ison top, angle the deck away so that the cards identity is seemingly still a mystery tous.

Then, for a final phase, we could reveal a prediction on the card bo!, proving that notonly did the TD&@EDT &% card travel to the top of the deckB we also impossiblyknew the identity of the card ahead of time. I like this idea for a more involved finale:After the card has risen to the top of the deck a few times, set the deck down, and

name the card.

At this point, the spectator should think that this is the first time you have known theidentity. +ow, remove three other decks from your pockets, open the case, and ribbonspread all three, revealing the three mates of the anate card reversed in the middles ofthose decks. 3erhaps a line like this would suit:

5It would appear that the relative movement of your selection has somehow caused its

mates to move relatively themselves5

This is how I present my version of 'ee hristophers Anate/ force.I use it as my ard to pocket/ routine. I have a high success percentage of getting thecard named to the - of diamonds, with my following method.If the force hits then great, if not I still have an ama0ing and direct effect, using the

old ruse of being &ne ahead/ on a playing card.1ethod)

"< 9un through a deck and cull the ace of spades to the top of the deck. 'o this

under the cover of toying with the deck. These actions are covered under the

following patter

2ets try something...have you heard of telepathy4 ssentially its when two peopleconnect over a single thought. Id like to keep this simple and use something Idimagine you are familiar with, playing cards./

F< At this point I run through the deck and remove the eight of diamonds, and

place it into my pocket, its an important point to make here that as I make eye

contact and remove the card a bit at a time from the deck as if Im considering

which card to go for.

I place the card in my pocket and proceed with the following patter, 9ight now, Iwant you to think of a card from in the deck, please dont 6ust think of your favouritecard, and also its not an ace or a picture card. I could second guess those and wantthis to be more interesting, I want you keep an open mind. 2ets do the number first, itcould be a two or a three, but now Ive mentioned those and you might not want to go

for them...In the fact, the card I have in my pocket its an..;I raise my vocal tone hereand almost begin to say eightB this is of course 'ees clever idea in action. I do this asI gesture for them with my hand out to prompt them to finish the sentence for me< If the number force hits, then Ill try and force the diamonds also by using the

following patter Ereat, lets go for the suit, imagine the number and the suit

in bold and vivid colours in your mind ;as I say those lines ill place my hands

together with my fingers and thumbs outstretched, with the thumb and inde!

finger touching to mimic a crude diamond shape


8/14

G< Ill snap my fingers at this point, as I ask them to name out loud the card. This

stops them from thinking too much about their choice or changing their mind.

I find this increases the chances of diamonds/ being the suit named.

A high percentage of the time they will name - of diamonds/ when I snap my

fingers. If so have them remove the card from your pocket, or very cleanly aftershowing your hand empty remove the card from your pocket.5ou have a miracle, try and keep as straight a face as possible.

H< If of course they dont name your force card, I proceed in the following

manner. 2ets say they name of clubs/. In reply in the following manner

really4 Thats interesting,/ I start to spread through the deck and remove

whatever card they have named, I openly remove the card and drop into the

top of the deck, being cautious not to flash the face.

Is that the first card that came to mind4/ I watch their response, and regardless of it, Isay ...Its an interesting choice because so many people try and double bluff mewhen I say dont think of an ace, they choose the ace of spades./

At this point I do a necktie second deal and show the ace of spades, which has beenon top of the deck since the beginning of the routine, posing as the card you 6ustremoved from the deck A%T9 they named their selection.I place it into the middle of the deck as I flash the face of the ace one last time. As I

push it into the deck, I make eye contact again as I top palm the si! of clubs of the topof the deck.

Its the weirdest thing, remember the card I put into my pocket4/. &ften ill charliercut the deck in my left hand to take the heat off the my hand with the card palmed.Say the above line this whilst making eye contact and then place your hand with thecard palmed into your pocket and allow it drop in front of the card ;eight of diamondsin this case

1ental epic is a great routine, tends to use gimmicked boards however, which Im notreally into usually, however, I think the best mental epic board is 1arc &beronspic 3ad/ which should be checked out by all as its a fantastic and very organiclooking prop7

This routine could be very easily applied to any other epic routine, A+AT is ofcourse instead of the forcing of a card or similar for your last phase. &f course eight/is written in the final square under the moving piece of the board to act as our force.

The routine I use goes as follows)

Id like to try something right now, I need three people for this, well choose as we

go along

I take out my epic pad and Ill write the force number eight/ as a &9' on the first

square, beside the moving part. I write it as a word because what Im about to askthem, what Ive pretended to predict is a word. I then place the cover over the squareand turn the board around.

Ive 6ust written a city on my pad here, under this s7uare Id like you to name your

favourite city, pull from a memory for me a special time you had there

%aris" )reat choice 4hat was you memory" .ma8ing /ets move on, to the

present perhaps /et me 6ust write down something here in the +nds7uare

Ill then of course write 3aris in the Fndsquare, ;which is the "stsquare on the movingpart of the pad< as if it was a prediction of what Im about to ask. Its then covered asusual.

Ive 6ust written down here the name of a popular !ank #ir, would you !e so kind as

to select any of the cards in your wallet and let the audience know which !ank you

use for that account" 9arclays" %erfect

I now have a prediction of a past event, a prediction of a current event. This is whereA+AT works so beautifully, youre predicting something that genuinely hasnthappened yet.

#o, Ive predicted a past event, a current piece of information, lets move onto

something that hasnt even happened yet

Ill then write 8arclays onto the final square before shifting the moving part to thefinished position, revealing the ight/ that wed already written below as a force

prior to the performance.

Ill then simply go into the A+AT script to force the number.

There is no out for this, not that Ive discovered yet, however, I do have a nice line for

if it ever does miss)%aris, and 9arclays, !oth of these I managed to predict accurately I had the

num!er :, you were the num!er ; right" &wo outta three isnt !ad It really goes to

show, as a mind reader, I can pull your thoughts from your head, !ut your future,

well, thats really is up to you to do with, as you will3 &hank you very much3

I think as a mentalist, to miss every now and again gives much more realism and

validity to what youre doing * it makes it look much more 9A2 than if you hitabsolutely everything.

Broken 'atch Titanas and #ee Christopher

Titanas is a close friend and a great thinker in magic. De took the A+AT force andapplied it to a 9ussian roulette routine using "# paper cups and a watch. e workedon the methodology together to create the simplest and most effective handling.

5ou will place "# cups out on the tableB the watch goes under number -. @sing the

A+AT force, you can have the correct cup forced and you dont have to touchanything.

So what happens if they name the wrong number4

5ou need to have prepped and in your left fingers a slip of paper palmed. &n thepaper it says)

2loyd is a good friend of mine and weve worked together in the past on variousreleases. 2loyds A+AT routine is a very simple but e!tremely effective one.

Dell have the - he wants to force folded into quarters and finger palmed in his right

hand.

Dis script is as follows)

#ir, can I ask you to hold your hand out palm up please, a !it lower in fact, there is

perfect 2ow, Id like you to stare at your palm and were going to try something

special

5oull note in the scripting above the a !it lower in fact line. This is where 2loydsecretly slides the folded up card underneath the participants watch as he moves theirhand down with both of his hands.

5ou will then proceed with the A+AT force and equivoque the suits to whichever -you have loaded under the watch.

I make a note to step back as I begin the A+AT script, as Im nowhere near theparticipant when I ask him to look under his watch.

Ive only performed this a handful of times, but 2loyd does this A22 the time and(I22S with it * Id urge you to try it out77

Bank ight (Anate Practice) Titanas

This routine is very simple, a perfect practice for anate that Titanas came to me with.5ou will have ten numbered opaque envelopes, each with a slip of paper the si0e of a

bank note?dollar bill inside. 5ou will also have a thumb tip on your thumb with afolded up bank note.

The idea is that you will try and force the - thenvelope, you tell the spectator that theycan select K of the envelopes, one of them contains a LH# note, the others containsimply slips of paper.

The A+AT force has M9& impact on the routine, though when youre confidentwith the force, you can base a real bank night routine on the A+AT force alone7

So, you will run the A+AT script and if it hits you can be confident in knowing thatyoure building the skill, this will be the first envelope they get to keep. If you miss,dont worry7 Try again later7

+ine of the envelopes will be eliminated in the same way. The spectator gets to openall of his, each one containing a slip of paper7 5ou can then triumphantly open theenvelope you are left with, ditch the thumb tip inside and pull out the bank note you

had hidden within7This is another very effective way to practice, as there is no risk involved. I suggest

dropping A+AT into effects like this, not to have impact, but 6ust to test it out untilyou find your feet.

Plagued (Anate Stig$atis$) #ee Christopher

Its no secret that I 2&N body revelations. This one came to me when I was thinkingof something &132T25 different that we wouldnt go into here.

Ive drawn influence from Douchin and 8anacheks routine Stigmata/ which is afavourite of mine and incredibly strong7 Eo buy it quick7

The effect is as follows)

. spectator is asked to place their hand onto the magicians chest &hey are asked to

name a num!er out loud and to imagine in saying that word that they are !randing

the magicians chest &hey may even feel a !urst of warmth at the time

&he num!er : is named and when the magicians shirt is lifted, a handprint has !een

visually !urnt onto his skin, !ut there is an : shape missing in the middle3

Its a cra0y effect, but you must set up a few minutes before, making it more suited tocasual performance where you can nip to the bathroom to set up.

The burn is a cheeky one, I wont detail the Stigmata/ secret here, as its different,but works for a similar reason.

Dave you ever spanked someone4 5es. I did read that back to myself and cringe at thewords Im penning.

If you slap skin hard enough with an open palm and fingers, you will leave a handprint which will stay for upto "#:"H minutes after the impact.

1y idea was to use this as a reveal. All you need to do is cut out a number - fromcard and glue it with repositional glue to your chest, or where ever you wish to do thereveal ;arms, legs, anywhere will work7< prior to the slapping. I chose the chest as itseasy to slap your chest and it creates a nice frame as their hand is over your heart.

hen you slap, because the card covers an amount of skin, it wont get the impactand wont inflame like the surrounding handprint.

Its a simple method, but a devastating effect. I must note that this would also workwith any kind of red spray paint if you wanted it to stay longer and hurt less7 5ou canspray your hand with the paint and 2IEDT25 press it over, so the - acts like a stencil.1ake sure its only a bit red though, we want it to look burnt, not painted77
