Unlock the Secrets of Jason Michaels

Discover two long-hidden secrets from Jason Michaels, the only PDF ever published on this fascinating topic. In this exclusive release, you’ll learn how Jason created the illusion of seeing in complete darkness, a feat that earned him acclaim during the 1980s.

One of these secrets even amazed Al Mann. The effect involves a psychic or mentalist allowing a spectator to examine a borrowed book, ensuring all pages are different. The performer applies a special cream under their eyes, claiming it grants them the ability to see in the dark. With the lights off, the spectator opens the book to any page and hands it to the performer. Miraculously, the performer reads from the chosen page, even describing any images present. Once the lights are turned back on, the reading is confirmed to be accurate.

This effect can be repeated with the spectator selecting different pages in the dark, and the performer continues to read flawlessly. Unlike traditional luminous cards, this method is entirely original. A spectator can even stand behind the performer in the dark, verifying that no hidden lights are used. There are absolutely no concealed gimmicks involved.

The performer cannot be caught cheating, as the lights can be turned on unexpectedly at any moment, and they will remain completely clean. This effect can be performed anywhere total darkness can be achieved, such as in a finished basement or a windowless recreation room.

Seeing Playing Cards in the Dark

A spectator shuffles a borrowed deck and removes four cards in the dark, mixing them and turning some face up and others face down. They hand this packet of unknown cards to the performer. The performer confidently states they will sort the cards into a face-up row and name them—all in complete darkness. When the lights come on, all cards are indeed face up, and the performer has accurately named each one, leaving the audience baffled.

No special skills are required, and the deck can be borrowed. The cards are not marked in any way, making it impossible for the performer to know which cards are face up or down in the dark. This original effect, a creation of Jason Michaels, allows for sorting cards in the dark—a method never seen before. (Note: Access to the borrowed deck is necessary prior to performance.)

“This is one of the most impossible things I have ever heard of. It will floor any audience. This effect of ‘Seeing In Total Darkness’ is a stroke of genius from the past that Devin Knight has revived to be an absolutely brilliant modern effect. This effect is astounding. If this were performed in a physics classroom, with the physics teacher present, then they would all be fooled, because Devin’s method of performing Seeing in the Dark is easy to do, yet hard to figure out. Scientists might imagine that Devin Knight is using an unknown physical energy. Whether the spectators are scientists or a lay audience, Devin Knight’s ‘Seeing In Total Darkness’ will deeply astonish everyone.” – Ronald Levy

“Another release in the Jason Michaels series, that is sure to fool the most hardcore skeptic in your audience. What was once accomplished using clever gimmicks, Devin has thoroughly worked this routine out to make it better without using any gimmicks at all. This is one of those routines that would perfectly fit into your PSI Parties and Seance routines. I love it!” – Robert Marsi

“For $8.00 this is another winner, as it does not use the traditional gimmick methods. It’s actually better in many ways. At first, I questioned if this method would work with a real audience. So I tried it out the other day for a few friends at a party I was attending – even used a borrowed book. I can tell you this is another winner, having tested it myself. Also, very easy to do. It will work great in a blackout seance as well. This one is growing on me fast.” – Bill Montana
