Kenton Knepper – Memory Mashup

MEMORY MASHUP was recognized as one of the “Top Mentalism Products of 2012” by Jheff and Marketplaceofthemind.com. “I absolutely love Memory Mashup! I performed several effects at a private party last night, and they were a hit.” – Nate Anderson This collection features 7 effects along with Kenton’s insightful notes on memory and its application in performance. Remember, this material is strictly for performers. Kenton has shared his expertise on memory with psychology students at Arizona State University, discussing how mentalists can leverage memory to challenge perceptions of reality. He developed unique presentations and effects aimed at inducing mental “brownouts” among students, perhaps with surprising success. Now, you can master the 7 effects that will lead audiences to question their own memories and mental clarity. In this ebook, you will discover: * Forget That On The Count Of Three: Two participants’ names are written on blank cards, numbered on the back. A third card displays the number 3. Participants guess what’s on the #3 card, only to find it reveals the name of the #2 participant, then the #1 participant, and finally, the performer’s name! The other two cards, clearly visible from the start, astonishingly have no names at all. This is truly mind-blowing. The performer reveals the mechanics behind the illusion of false memory and the created hallucinations… or is that explanation itself a false memory? This effect can also serve as a demonstration of instilling false memories while predicting the names of two random participants. * One Business Card Name Forgetting: Kenton made waves with the concept of using Out To Lunch as a name-forgetting trick. Now, he has taken this idea to new heights. A SINGLE BUSINESS CARD displays a participant’s name. They see their name and are prompted to say it, yet suddenly, they cannot! The audience witnesses the name on the card, but the participant is unable to vocalize it. With a snap of the fingers, they regain the ability to say their name and take the business card with them.
