Picture this: you invite someone to think of a line from their beloved poem, something you could never know. They jot it down on their business card, fold it, and place it on the table. You swiftly pick it up, crease it, and hand it back to them, all in under five seconds, while keeping the folded card in their line of sight.

There’s no need to tear the paper like in traditional methods. You only use the single billet, with no switching involved.

The Dance of Shiva reveals the information as quickly as you can read it, while ensuring it remains visible for as long as necessary. No sneaky glances; the same billet stays in view. You rely solely on your hands and the card, without ever shielding it. This technique can be applied to answer questions, replicate designs, or perform word tests using actual book pages, playing cards, maps, or any creative mentalism effect requiring hidden information.

It may sound impossible, but The Dance of Shiva accomplishes just that. Here are its key features:

• No special props required; you’re always prepared.
• Can be performed surrounded or while standing.
