“I thought I knew what was going on… then that second phase, phenomenal!”Tom Elderfield

“Simple, strong, powerful!”Fraser Parker

Nikolas Mavresis’ Cinemental is an extraordinary two-phase mentalism routine that captivates audiences and leaves them wanting more.

In the first phase, you effortlessly reveal a movie chosen by your spectator under test conditions. They select a film, shuffle it back, and without peeking, you accurately identify the movie they are thinking of. No markings, no peeks, and you can even perform this blindfolded.

The excitement continues in the second phase, where you present an open prediction. The spectator deals cards face up and can stop at any point. Remarkably, the card they stop at always matches your prediction. There are no multiple outs, and only one prediction is ever in play. Once you learn the secret, you’ll appreciate the cleverness of the method.

“I was involved in the visual design of the Cinemental deck, but had nothing to do with the actual effect. The way the Cinemental deck works is a great combination of different methods that allows a killer one-two punch that will fry spectators.”Phil Smith

“The first time I saw this I was fooled pretty badly. As a magician, it’s easy to assume there’s more happening. The brilliance of this method lies in its simplicity. It feels almost self-working, allowing you to focus on performance and presentation. A modern classic.”Jason Knowles
