THE TRUE SECRET OF AUTHENTIC MIND READING

No gimmicks. No stooges. No electronics. No mirrors. Nothing prearranged.

Anywhere, anytime, with any group of genuine spectators, the psychic performer invites them to simply THINK of specific actions—mental commands—which he then executes. Here are a few examples of the possible demonstrations:

• Locating hidden objects
• Delivering sealed messages to unknown recipients
• Following mental commands like ‘take Mr. A’s handkerchief and place it on Megan’s head’
• Unscrewing an electric bulb and placing it in the refrigerator
• Turning off the lights
• Removing John’s shoe, untying and removing the laces, then tying them around another spectator’s wrist
• Finding the performer’s check hidden within the audience
• And many more.

Countless similar tests are feasible. Importantly, the actions to be performed are known only to the subject and are not documented or shared beforehand.

This remarkable dual effect requires no stooges or accomplices. It is a solo performance, adaptable to nearly any setting, with the performer maintaining full control throughout.

Can be executed under genuine test conditions.
