Devin Knight – Unknown Forces

Discover a mind-bending effect that astonishes even seasoned magicians. This powerful PK demonstration allows you to seemingly control objects with your mind, a favorite of the late Al Mann that completely fooled the creator.

This nearly forgotten principle, known only to a select few magicians, was historically employed by mediums to deceive audiences. With no gimmicks involved, you can perform astonishing pendulum effects without any physical contact. These effects can be executed in bright light and require no secret assistants, elevating your performance beyond the average magician.

To demonstrate authenticity, the performer presents several ungimmicked clear glass bottles, each containing a fish weight. These bottles are labeled with distinct numbers and can be thoroughly examined.

Here are some captivating effects you can perform as detailed in this ebook:

• Reveal a Chosen Number: Five bottles with pendulums are placed on a table. A spectator thinks of a number, and without anyone touching the bottles, the pendulum in the selected bottle begins to swing while the others remain still. Everything is examinable.
• Reveal a Selected Card: Four bottles labeled CLUBS, HEARTS, DIAMONDS, and SPADES each contain a pendulum. A spectator freely selects a card, and when the performer asks the spirits for a revelation, the pendulum in the corresponding bottle swings, tapping out the card’s value. This effect is perfect for stage performances, mentalism shows, or private readings, and requires no gimmicks or invisible threads.
• Reveal an Answer for Private Readings: Three bottles labeled NO, YES, and MAYBE each hold a pendulum. A spectator poses a question, and without any contact, the pendulum in one bottle swings to provide an answer. This effect is both eerie and convincing, leaving clients amazed and engaged.
• Bottled Spirits: Perform any spirit bell effect using just one bottle and a pendulum. Without touching the bottle, the pendulum swings to indicate NO or YES, tapping the sides to convey answers. This method eliminates the need for expensive gimmicked spirit bells.
• PK Parties: During PK or PSI parties, attendees can will the pendulums to move in any bottle without the performer’s involvement. Participants can repeatedly choose different bottles, believing they have developed PSI powers.

• NO SECRET ASSISTANTS
• NO MAGNETS
• NO ELECTRONICS
• NO SECRET BLOWING
• NO INVISIBLE THREAD

All you need are standard glass bottles, fish weights, and strings—nothing gimmicked. This secret, known to Houdini, will astound you and your audience. The pendulums can also be free-hanging on different stands while still moving, but the bottles serve as a convincing element, isolating the pendulum’s motion.
