INTRODUCTION3et e begin by saying thank you for pur!hasing

this little book. And that although +8ve sat herefor 15 inutes trying to think of soething "ittyand !lever to "rite here( y ind is blank.

%o( let e keep it siple. The idea for this book!ae about "hile at the /agi!k 3ounge in%he9eld. A friend of ine %teve #ro"nley

suggested + should "rite up soe of y ee!ts(so + did. This is y sall oering to theentalis !ounity( and hopefully you !anget soething "orth"hile fro it.

:ne thing that really annoys about entalisbooks is spelling errors( so hopefully there "on8tbe any of the in this boo!k. ;%ee( that8s thebest + !ould !oe up "ith...< And =nally( + feellike this goes "ithout saying( but all the ee!ts"ithin here are of independent !reation. 4>!ept(of !ourse( the tri!k that lies in -oger Cur?on8s1@@2 unpublished notes( but that8s another story.

The ethod that + use ost often is a peek.Have the de!k !ut and one !ard dealt fa!e do"ninto your hand. +ndi!ate for the spe!tator topla!e their hand pal up and as you do( tilt the!ard to"ards you and siply peek it. There is notu!h to this( and done in a non!halant anner(

to do a standard reading( but "hat you "ant todo is thee all the points you ake around thesele!ted tarot. 'or e>aple( if the fool has beensele!ted( you "ould do your reading( but keep!oing ba!k to the idea that they !an be Buitesilly soeties of that they !an be daft at

:n!e you$ve done the reading( you$re going toget the to nae their !hosen !ard. 3et$s say

they$ve sele!ted the fool. 6hat + like to say isfrom the information, Ive just received, and I

think that three cards t you and your

personality better than the rest.The Three ofCoins, the Fool and the Chariot. Which of these

do you think best described you, from hat Ive

learnt! 6hat you "ant to do is nae theirsele!ted !ard in aongst t"o lesser kno"n tarot!ards( as this stop the fro naing either ofthe other t"o.

Also( the fa!t that you say they are to !hooseone based on the information just "iven eansthat they are likely to pi!k the one you "antthe to( rather than one that ost des!ribedtheir genuine !hara!ter. :n!e they$ve naed thefool( reiterate that they pi!ked any !ard( free of!hoi!e and that all the inforation you re!eived"as !orre!t. They also had a =nal !hoi!e to pi!k

one they felt "as truly right( so if the tarot is!orre!t( then there !an be no reasonablee>planation. Have the slo"ly turn over the !ardand reveal it to beK the fool&

C$l! Rea!in"

No" that you understand the basi! idea( thiste!hniBue !an be used in all sorts of "ays. Here

is a "ay to apply it to !old reading in a slightlydierent for. #efore you begin doing anything(grab a billet and say you$re re!eiving a thought.%!ribble the "ords ri"ht brainedon it and pla!eit fa!e do"n on the table.

Luring the reading( get a sense of "hat type ofperson they are. This ay be !reative( logi!al or"hatever( but keep a ental note of it. ou !aneasily =nd this out Gust by asking the abouttheir hobbies or Gob( but be "arned that Gob isn$tthat reliable as a lot of people see to "ork at

Gobs they don$t like& +$d say that hobbies is yourbest bet.

%ay you dis!over they are a very logi!al person.6hen you rea!h the end of the reading( alostas an afterthought say #h I almost for"ot. Itsbeen scientically proven that people are of a

certain type of brain. $eft, ri"ht or centre. I think,if I remember, left brain people are very creative

and ima"inative, centre brain people are very

closed o%, and ri"ht brained people are

e&tremely lo"ical. Which ould you say you are!

All you$re doing is saying their traits "hen you

supposedly tell the "hat right brained people11


12/56

are like. There$s no reason for the not tobelieve you. They "ill( of !ourse( say rightbrained. Have the slo"ly turn over the billetand sho" that you sensed it before the readingeven began&

+f for soe strange reason( they say that they$releft or !entre brained ;"hi!h they "on$t< siplya!kno"ledge it and forget about the billet. Asyou never dra" attention to it "hen you ask the

Buestion( it "ill appear as though you are Gust"ondering out of !uriosity.

Another "ay to =t inforation like this is to "ritedo"n( for e>aple( the "ords F1)2 personality$on a billet and pla!e it sight unseen in full vie"for the sho". 6hen ready( take an ipression

devi!e and have the "rite do"n anyobGe!tMperson( peek the info. +f they "roteF%patula($ say soething likepeople ith a '('

personality ill often "o for a bedroom

appliance, a '() ould usually "o for a kitchen

item and a '(* tends to lean more toards

recreational e+uipment. Which personality doyou think you are!

6hen they say 1)2( sho" the billet before!ontinuing to read their ind of the spe!i=!thought.

Playin" Car!s

Again( the te!hniBue used here is slightlydierent fro the above t"o( but + think it$s

iportant you get to see all the dierent "ays in"hi!h this idea !an be used. This ee!t !an alsobe done !opletely iproptu. #egin by havingsoeone think of any playing !ard( soethingnot too obvious. +t$s iportant they don$t go foran obvious !ard as you "ill use this to your

advantage later.

%tare into their eyes and s!ribble the E do"nand fold the billet up and leave it on the table.Have the nae the !ard out loud( say the 7 O.o to open the billet( and then as anafterthought say actually, you seem +uiteresponsive you lets try somethin" else as ell.

Three other cards I picked up from your

subconscious as ell ere the -, the / and

the 0 1. If you just ant to think of one of those

as ell2

-eove a se!ond billet and "rite do"n the !ardthat "as originally thought of. 'old the billet andpi!k up both in your hand( i>ing the around.Have the nae their thought of !ard frothree. +f they say the E ( "hi!h they usually "illdue to it being psy!hologi!ally appealing( open

+f they thought of one of the other t"o( not the

seven( say that it as just a silly e&periment.%ho" you got it "rong before sho"ing the younailed the original thought of !ard. + love the oneahead prin!iple( and + think !obining it "ith thereverse idea akes it an absolute killer.

Wallet Pre!icti$n

Have a !ard to "allet set up and ready to go inyour po!ket. ou "il also need a billet that has87E8 "ritten on it( paled in your hand. Havesoeone think of any anial( or anything at all(and pi!k up a billet. 6rite on it 8Che!k the "allet(

you fool&8 or any "ords to that eBuivalent andfold it and leave it on the table. Have the tellyou "hat they thought of ;in this !ase a lion< andsile in a !on=dent anner.

%ay that as they are so re!eptive( you8ll try itagain. Have the think of either the nuber 10(

*+ or @7. i!k up a se!ond billet and "rite on itthe "ord 8lion.8 As you apparently put it on thetable( s"it!h it for the one in your hand that says7E. As soon as you put it do"n( go to pla!e thepen in your po!ket and at the sae tie( loadthe billet that says 8lion8 on it into the "allet.

'irst open the nuber billet and sho" you eithergot it right or "rong. %hrug it o as fruitless ifyou got it "rong. Then( open the =rst billet to"hat they e>pe!t "ill say lion. +t a!tually says!he!k the "allet( and "hen they do( it looks asthough you kne" "hat they "ere going to pi!kbefore they even did& There are so any "ays touse this. Have a play around( and if you haveany ideas( +$d love to hear your thoughts. Afterall( t"o heads are better than one& Pnless one ofthe heads is ade of lettu!e. ;/y( "hat a "it +have&treely po"erful readings. Havethe hold the ring in their hand and see "hat!olour it !hanges.

s"ap it for a peranently red ring. Have the1E


18/56

hold it in their hands and say that you feel thatthey are the sort of person "ho ight ake thering go red. 6hen they open their hand( it "illbe.

+f you "anted to =t it in "ith a reading( + thinkthough that you have to ake it soething otherthan Gust a ring. A friend of ine -oger Cur?onal"ays says that "hen perforing entalisthat teeters on the edge of bi?arre( you !annot

ake the ites you use look like props. +f you"ere to use it in a reading( put it in an old bo>and dress it up as you8re dead un!le Albert8s"edding ring or soething. +f they think( thatlike the tarot( you !an inDuen!e it in any "ay itturns fro a reading into a agi! tri!k.

+t is also a great de!orative pie!e that !an be"orn on your =nger and never used( but torather build up an iage that you "ant toportray. +t !an also be dangled over tarot !ardsto pi!k up !ertain vibes and the like. %oeties +use it in !onGun!tion "ith y aforeentioned

Pen!&l&ms

+f you tie the ring to a pie!e of string( then youhave a very pretty akeQshift pendulu that !anbe used at a oents noti!e. + have found that

soeties they !an be a bit light( so if you see1


19/56

this as a proble( a sall blob of blu ta!k orsoething in the ring "ill "eight it do"nsu9!iently.

ou !an also get the ring to turn !olour as itspins( "hi!h is a ni!e tou!h. +f you breathe onyour hands and hold the !lose to the spinningring( you "ill see a slight !olour dieren!e that!an be used as a 8!hange in the aura8 or to provethat their ind is !ausing the pendulu to

As "ell as !hanging it8s !olour( siple letting itreDe!t o light surfa!es as it spins !an give o ada??ling ee!t and enhan!e an ee!t by a ile. +think that any pendulu ee!ts are self

This ee!t is really strong and !an( in the rightsettings( appear !opletely ipossible. #est ofall( all you need is a de!k of !ards and a sallsta!k of blank business !ards.

This ee!t akes use of the brilliant Hoyrin!iple by Lavid Hoy. %oe note"orthy ee!ts

using this idea are 3aves 4I5 fro /i!hael/urray$s book A ie!e of /y /ind and 3uke

Reray$s Touchin" on 6oy fro Coral 'ang.

Presentati$n

Three ini slips of paper are sho"n( "ith anuber 1( 2 or 7 "ritten on ea!h. They arei>ed and three spe!tators ;#randon( Nathanand a?< take a !ard ea!h and reeber theirnuber. The slips are then torn up.

7#k, so ri"ht no each of you is thinkin" of a

number. If you thou"ht of number ', think of a

simple "eometric shape like a s+uare or circle,

nothin" too comple& like a star. If you thou"ht of

number ), think of any playin" card for me, but

not an ace as theyre too easy. Finally, if you

thou"ht of number *, think of any to di"it

number from ' to 08 for me. 4lease, no decimals

or recurrin" fractions.

4a!h spe!tator "rites their thought do"n on abillet. These are unarked and !opletelynoral. The /entalist is blind folded and ishanded the billets.

He pro!eeds to !orre!tly divine all threethoughts perfe!tly( ;e.g. 1@( triangle and S Otreely spe!i=!!hara!ter reading on all three parti!ipants.

C$ncept

The basi! idea at "ork here is the faous FHoyrin!iple$ by Lavid Hoy. 6hat this eans is thatall three parti!ipants are a!tually thinking of the

sae thought "ithout realising it.To set up( take a de!k of !ards and "rite the"ord Ftriangle$ a!ross any !ard. 3et$s say the 2. Then pla!e this at position 7 in the de!k. +tdoesn$t atter "hat !ard and "hat nuber youuse( as long as you kno" the. ou !an then put

the de!k a"ay and send it to a parti!ipant of theee!t "eeks in advan!e.

ou "ill also need a sall sta!k of business !ardsthat are blank on one side. Lra" a ediu si?edre!tangle in the iddle of ea!h !ard and in one("rite the nuber( in this !ase 7( and in the

other( "rite the !ard( in this !ase the 2 .

doesn$t bleed through. ou$re no" ready toperfor the ee!t.

6hen ready to perfor( pla!e t"o of the slips

that have a 1 on the on your lap so you !ana!!ess the easily.

Per'$rmance

To begin( introdu!e the ee!t and say that you$llneed Fthree rando thoughts.$ %ho" the three

slips of paper freely and have the e>ained.As this is happening( get the t"o slips in yourlap( ready to be paled. ou$ll no" perfor asiple s"it!h to s"ap nubers 2 and 7 for theones on your lap.

Take the slips ba!k so that nuber 1 is on top.Hold the fa!e do"n and get a break under thetop slip. ou$re going to let the t"o belo" it toslip onto your lap as you pla!e the t"o paledon top.

#ring your hands together and as you do( brieDy

dip your hands belo" the table and drop the t"oslips belo" the break onto your thighs. #ringyour hands ba!k up as they eet and drop thet"o paled slips onto the other hand.

rab all three "ith your right hand and spreadthe on the table. To the naked eye( it should

appear as though you Gust transferred the slips2,


25/56

fro one hand to the other and spread the onthe table. 3ittle do they kno" the slips no" allhave 1 "ritten on the. 6hat fools they are.

%pread the out on the table and have thespe!tators take one at rando and reeberthe nuber. /ake sure to tell the not to sho"anyone else "hat nuber they got. This "illensure no one "ill see that all are the sae. Takethe slips ba!k and dispose of the.

No" follo" the presentation "ritten at thebeginning. +f you "ord is as sho"n( then all threeof the parti!ipants should be thinking of triangle.4a!h of the also thinks that the other t"o arethinking of a !ard or a nuber. + like to follo"this s!ript to the letter as it sees as though you

are putting restri!tions on the nuber and !ard(as "ell as the shape.

Take three business !ards ;!areful not to disturbyour sta!k< and dra" three bo>es in the iddleidenti!al to the ones dra"n earlier. Hand one toea!h parti!ipant and have the "rite do"n theirthoughts in the bo>es. Again( !aution the notto let anyone else see "hat they "rite.

Here is an alternative to the se!ond phase. Afteryou$ve revealed all three thoughts( all the fa!edo"n !ards still say Ftriangle$ so you !an havethe i>ed as u!h as possible( yet you !anidentify "hi!h !ard belongs to "hi!h person( asthey "ill al"ays get a !ard "ith their thought"ritten on it&

After sho"ing this ee!t to a friend of ine( they

Presentati$n

The entalist begins by inviting a spe!tator up

on stage and hands hi a sall billet. After a bitof byQplay( -oger introdu!es hiself and the/entalist hands hi a billet.

7What I ant to talk to you about no is

somethin" that I nd +uite orryin" in todays

modern society.


31/56

think about it, theres only one small ord

keepin" all of your bank details, and accounts

safe. >o, Id like to try somethin" ith this

concept. ?ust think of any passord you use

every day. @ou can chan"e some of the letters a

bit if you ant to keep your passord safe. >o

Ao"er, just ll out the billet and rite the

passord on it, if you dont mind.

The pass"ord is then "ritten do"n on the billet

and hidden soe"here on the spe!tator$sperson. The entalist !lais that they "ill getba!k to it a little later. Another spe!tator( 3es( isinvited up on stage.

7#k, so hat I ant both of you to do is think of

the last to di"its of your birth year, as the rst

to di"its ill be 'B of course. 5o, rite eachof your di"its on this billet and keep the billet

close to your chest so no one else e&cept you

to can see the di"its.

The nubers are !on=red to be !orre!t. Theentalist then !lais that he "ill pass his abilityonto the se!ond spe!tator. He stares into hiseyes for a oent and passes the a billet. Theother billet that !ontains spe!tator one$spass"ord is reoved and ripped up. The t"ostare into ea!h other$s eyes and the se!ondspe!tator gradually gets the pass"ord.

C$nceptThere are Buite a lot of little ideas hidden "ithinthis routine( but "hat + like is that at the end(everything ties itself up in a neat "ay. The =rststage "ill be a peek and soe !oon sense(the se!ond phase an instant stooge.

"here the parti!ipant "ill input the reBuiredinforation.

'inally you "ill need to set up a peek. This !an

be done any "ay( but the siplest "ay that + liketo do it is to !ut a hole in the ba!k of anenvelope. + also have a noral sealed envelopein y po!ket "hi!h + "ill s"it!h out.

Per'$rmance

#egin by inviting t"o spe!tators up on stage.:n!e you$ve introdu!ed the ee!t( ask the =rstspe!tator to think of any pass"ord that they!urrently use on their !oputer. Hand the thebillet and you$re no" going to use soe !lever"ording to appear as though they are only

"riting the pass"ord do"n. oint at the L.:.#and say 7ll this in for me2 thenpoint at thepass"ord se!tion and say 7and rite your

passord there as ell. A bit of L- hereensures that no one realises the date of birth hasbeen "ritten.

Take out the envelope "ith the hole in it ;!arefulnot to Dash it< and load the billet in fa!e do"n.As you speak( !asually seal the envelope andhold it up so you !an see the inforation. No" inthe a!tion of sear!hing for your pen( you !aneasily s"it!h it for the other envelope in your

po!ket. + "on$t go into too u!h detail about this77


34/56

as you !an probably =gure out your o"n ethodbeing the e>perien!ed perforer you are W

Have the sign "hat they believe is an envelope

that !ontains their pass"ord. Alternatively( you!ould Gust peek the inforation and not s"it!hthe envelope( but + think you get a bit orefreedo this "ay. %ay that you "ill get ba!k tothe pass"ord a little later.

Phase 0

No"( you "ant to have a se!ond spe!tator !oeup on stage( but it is essential that they "ereborn in the sae L4CAL4 as the =rst person. 'ore>aple( they "ere both born in the 0s or"hatever. After you$ve seen your peek( youshould get a better idea as to "hat age you$relooking for.

Choose your se!ond spe!tator and ask that bothof the !reate a four digit +N by using the lastt"o nubers of their birth year. Have the "rite

these four digits in any order on a billet. #ut thesneaky thing is that you already kno" 7 of thenubers. ou kno" the t"o peeked ones andyou kno" that one of the se!ond spe!tator$snubers "ill at!h the =rsts& 3et$s say the =rstspe!tator$s digits are ,( then you kno" that one

ou !an reveal the =rst one as being an in any"ay you$d like( but for the unkno"n one( you !ango about this a nuber of "ays. #egin by usingthe old Lerren idea of saying repeat it over andover in your mind, like *, *, *2and so on. +f youhit( perfe!t( if not !arry on. Then say this number

Phase 1

ou$re no" going to supposedly pass on your giftto the se!ond spe!tator( and they "ill soeho"

divine the pass"ord of the =rst spe!tator. 6hatyou "ant to do is =rst stare into spe!tator t"o$seyes and tell the you have passed over Fthegift.$ As you talk( pi!k up the billets and !asuallyove the top !ard to the botto.

No"( aking sure no one else !an see the fa!e

!ard of the sta!k( "ave the in front ofspe!tator t"o and tell the Gust to iagine a"ord appearing in the air FGust about here.$ Asyou do this( they "ill get a !lear vie" of thepass"ord. A sly "ink here seals the deal. Add"hatever presentational tou!hes you$d like ;i.e.

asking spe!tator 1 "hether it$s Gust a "ord or a7

Ask spe!tator one if there is any "ay anyone !an

see through the envelope. 6hatever theyrespond( say it doesn$t atter any"ay andproptly rip up the envelope and thro" it on theDoor. This is psy!hologi!ally a very strongoent( as it no" appears as though there is nopossible "ay that you should kno" anything and

you$ve destroyed the only paper that had it"ritten on.

Have the t"o spe!tator$s stare into ea!h other$seyes and "hen spe!tator t"o feels a !onne!tion(he is to "rite do"n "hatever he feels. Askspe!tator one to reveal "hat he$s "ritten. :f

Ph$ne C$!e

ou ay have noti!ed in the presentation that atthe end of this routine( + reveal spe!tator t"o$sphone !ode as he akes his "ay to his seat. Thereason + do this is be!ause it kills the stooge.

Te!hni!ally( the =nal phase "on$t ipress hi(so if you nail his phone !ode at the end( it

!opletely thro"s the o the ethod.7E


38/56

The "ay + do it Gust guess and +$ll hit on!e every100(000 ties.

Not really( that "as a lie. +f you have theFiPnlo!kour/ind$ app by /yke hilips then you!ould use that to harvest the !ode( or perhapsthe siplest ;and !heapest< "ay is Gust to

"ander about before the sho" looking at people.No one is parti!ularly se!retive about theirphone !ode( and so you "ill get loads ofopportunities to gather the inforation youneed. Then( "hen both spe!tators are "alkingo stage( !asually ask if spe!tator t"o has a

phone( and then use the line about !hanging the!ode. %uper siple&

Another idea "hi!h is Buite bold but eans youdon$t have to peak any nubers is to as they$re"alking o stage !asually say soething like

you have a phone, yes! Well Id consider

The helper does Gust this. He shues the pa!ketson at a tie. The pa!kets are then gathered andsBuared.

C$ncept,1


42/56

This ee!t is e>treely siple( and there are nohard oves at all "ithin this routine. The basi!idea is that at the beginning( you separate thede!k out so that one pile !ontains all of the !ardsof one suit( and fro there( it$s Gust =shing.

Per'$rmance

To begin( have any de!k of !ards borro"ed andshued. +t isn$t !ru!ial that it be a full de!k( but

it "ill ake the ee!t easier to do. After it hasbeen e>ained( pi!k it up and spread the de!k"ith the fa!es to"ards you.

As soon as you spread the de!k( upGog the =rstt"o !ards. ou no" "ant to upGog the values oneto ten of the sae suit as the se!ond !ard. 'or

e>aple( if the se!ond !ard is a heart( all of thehearts "ould be upGogged e>!ept the pi!ture!ards. This is all done so only you !an see thefa!es.

-asic E.ect

The spe!tator thinks of three eories that set

o dierent eotions( and one by one( the/entalist re!eives all three thoughts( beforetapping into the ystery of Flove.$

Presentati$n

Three billets are pla!ed out onto the table and a

volunteer is !hosen to help "ho has a goodeory. A rather annoying spe!tator by thenae of To akes his "ay on stage.

I ould like to try somethin" ith you Tom, but

not ith the psychical, but rather the mental.

What I ant you to do is think of a happy

,E


48/56

memory, a time hen you felt "enuinely

emotional, and concentrate on ho that made

you feel.

The =rst billet is pi!ked up and the /entaliststares into his eyes and Bui!kly s!ribblessoething do"n. He folds it in half and "ritesthe "ord FHA$ on the front. The assistant isthen asked to !on=r her eory out loud.

This is then repeated t"o ties( one "ith

F%:--:6$ and one "ith F'4A-.$ :bviously(nothing too e>tree( Gust a tie "hen they ayhave felt un!ofortable. :ne at a tie( veryfairly the envelopes are gathered up andopened( and the entalist "as bang on "ith atleast t"o of the three billets&

6oever, there is one emotion e havent

touched on yet, but is probably the most

important of all and that is love. If you dont

mind, I ould like to try somethin" +uite

personal ith you. If you dont ant to partake

in this, then no is the time to2you WI$$ help

me! H&cellent. 6opefully, at the end of this, you

ill take aay not sadness, but happiness, as

love can provoke both feelin" ithin us.

The entalist gets his helper to think of abeloved person "ho has passed a"ay. He dire!ts

their attention to a billet that has been folded,


49/56

"ith a heart dra"n on it. They open it andsilently read it to theselves before !on=ringthat you kno" "ho they are thinking of.
