Easy Mentalism

by J P Jacquard

Welcome to Easy Mentalism . The techniques and effects revealed

in this booklet will enable you to put on a terrific display of mentalist

and mind reading routines that will astonish your friends, family and

colleagues. You may find that after demonstrating your amazing

mental powers, people never think of you in the same way again!

Imagine asking someone to select a card at random from a normal

deck of playing cards. You ask them to concentrate on the design of

the card. You look into their eyes. You examine tiny inflections of

the muscles in their face. Then piece by piece, you name the card

they have. First you state the color, then the suite and finally you

state the exact card they chose! All this is done without ever looking

at their chosen card - not even a sneak peek.

Or how about asking someone to flick through a normal book, then

to read and concentrate on the first line of a chosen page. Again

you look into their eyes and after a short time, scribble something

onto a notepad. You ask the person to read the first line out aloud.

You turn your notepad over, revealing you've written exactly the

same sentence your volunteer was reading.

These two effects alone will convince people you really can read

minds!

You’ll also learn how to make predictions. For instance, you place a

sealed envelope and three coins of differing values on the table.

The spectator chooses one of the coins and flips it. You open the

envelope, revealing that not only have you correctly predicted which

coin they would choose but also whether it would land heads up or

tails up.

Or how about asking someone to draw a simple picture and to seal

it in an envelope. In another demonstration of your mind reading

powers, you can describe the picture they’ve drawn, even

reproducing it exactly if you wish.

All of these routines and more are fully explained in Easy

Mentalism . You’ll have seen effects like these done on television

and stage by famous illusionists. Now you can learn their secret

techniques and perform the illusions yourself. You’ll be amazing

people with your newly-found skills after just a few hours practice

and what’s more, you’ll enjoy the dumbstruck expressions on your

victims’ faces.

The E-Book is divided into two sections. The first presents a wide

selection of mind reading illusions and psychological illusions. The

second part is an introduction to hypnosis.

I'll say it now and repeat it several times throughout the book – the

secret to performing convincing mind reading is in the performance.

Some of the techniques you'll learn are astonishingly simple, so the

more you can do in your performance to distract your audience

away from that fact, the better. The introduction to hypnosis is

included to give you some ideas on how you can phrase your patter

and increase the illusion.

This e book concentrates primarily on techniques; very little

dialogue or direction is included. This is because your personality is

the most important element in mentalism. Once you fully

understand the techniques revealed herein, think about how you

can apply your personality to the proceedings and invent your own

patter to suit.

So let's get going with some mind-blowing illusions ...

Part 1

Illusions

Effect 1: Simple Shape Prediction

You walk out on stage and place a large card on a chair or

easel facing the audience. The card has three shapes drawn

on it; a square, a triangle and a circle.

You choose an audience member and ask him to stand. You

explain that when people are asked to think of a simple

shape, these are the three commonest designs chosen. You

ask him to choose one of the shapes, in this case he

chooses the square.

You then ask him to reach under his chair where he'll find an

envelope stuck underneath. Ask him to remove the envelope

and as he does so, explain that earlier on you made a

prediction as to which shape he would choose and stuck it

under his chair.

When he opens the envelope, there is a postcard inside that

reads 'You will choose the square'.

This is a nice opening effect and usually works very effectively.

Make a large card with the three shapes drawn on it as described

above. On the back write, “You will choose the triangle”. Write “You

will choose the square” on a postcard and seal it in an envelope.

Before the show, stick the envelope underneath a chair in the

auditorium.

To perform the effect, simply reveal the appropriate prediction either

by asking the spectator to remove the card from under their chair or
