Book Of Numbers Vol. 1 (Mestha) by Docc Hilford – Trick

This volume unveils the intricate secrets behind six captivating mentalism effects. Docc Hilford enhances classic concepts from legends like Ted Annemann and David Berglas, infusing them with fresh presentations and methods that deliver electrifying performances.

Bartender’s Nightmare – The mentalist demonstrates his extraordinary ability to see through flesh and bone as if it were transparent. A bartender selects any coin, and while blindfolded, the mentalist accurately sketches the coin, revealing its denomination and date!

Crystal Vision – A participant writes their birth month and day on a business card, which is then folded. Holding one half in each hand, the mentalist gazes into a crystal ball, revealing personal details, including the birth date, without ever looking at the card.

Ghostotal – One person thinks of a large number while another thinks of a smaller one. Following a series of random mathematical operations, the mentalist astonishingly reveals that both numbers are the same!

Match-Matical – A fresh take on a classic! Three spectators each select a number of matches from a matchbook. The mentalist reveals all three numbers through unique methods: automatic writing, a mysterious burn, and ashes that spell out the final number.

In-nile-lation – A participant freely thinks of a number while the audience calls out others. Remarkably, the total of the audience’s numbers matches the participant’s thought number, with no forces or switches involved.

Newmero! – The mentalist records numbers called out by the audience, challenging someone to calculate the total faster than he can mentally. Not only does he succeed, but his prediction reveals the name of an audience member, derived from the sum total!

These effects require no complex calculations, with many tricks being purely entertaining. This is the first of a three-volume set, with Volume 2 focusing on close-up mentalism and Volume 3 on stage performances.

Dicipher Bars – The mentalist tackles increasingly complex addition problems using uniquely numbered bars, consistently outpacing a calculator and predicting future totals with uncanny accuracy.

Her Number – Two women write down their phone numbers, and the mentalist reveals which is which, culminating in the revelation of one woman’s number!

Libretta Minutia – A spectator creates a three-digit number from tiny cards, leading to a random page in a miniature book. The mentalist then reveals the word the spectator silently reads, combining charm with a clean method.

Ouijan – A spectator thinks of a number between 1 and 10 as the mentalist uses a tiny Ouija board to reveal the chosen number, demonstrating a connection to the audience’s thoughts.

The effects in this volume can be combined for a cohesive close-up performance, perfect for busy mentalists seeking impactful routines.
