PDF

Discover Six-Shooter, a collection of six innovative effects by Richard Osterlind that are sure to captivate your audience! Each routine is designed for maximum impact, ensuring a flawless performance every time.

Experience the magic of Hands Off, a stunning card effect where you never touch the deck. An audience member cuts the deck and remembers the top card before reinserting it. From across the room, you reveal the card’s exact position in the deck! As the spectator counts down, you also name the card, achieving a perfect match from a distance!

3SP is a comprehensive three-phase routine utilizing two standard ESP decks. In the first phase, you place a prediction card on the table while the spectator deals from their deck, stopping at their chosen card, which matches your prediction! In the second phase, another spectator names a number from 1 to 25, and you again match their selected card. Finally, three cards are laid down, and as the spectator draws from their pocket, all three cards match your predictions! Each effect is powerful enough to stand alone, yet they create a compelling act together.

Wanted: Dead or Alive is Richard’s refined take on Annemann’s classic. Five business cards are distributed, with one person writing the name of a deceased individual while the others write living names. After mixing the cards and placing them in an envelope, you reveal each living name correctly. Finally, you reveal the deceased name, astonishing the participant with your accuracy!

Poor Man’s Book Test is a remarkable effect where you can perform on the go. A spectator hands you their book, and after they freely choose a page and remember the first word, you reveal it effortlessly. The book remains untouched and unaltered!

Almost Real Prediction is a timeless Jack London effect, where Richard enhances the original handling into a stunning masterpiece. The techniques and subtleties taught will elevate your performance across various routines, showcasing the enduring power of classic mentalism.

Perfected Add-a-Number offers a straightforward approach to this classic mystery. You present a large envelope and record three-digit numbers called out by several spectators. After calculating the total, you reveal a prediction from the envelope that matches the total perfectly, all while ensuring the audience sees their numbers throughout the process. This clever gimmick can be adapted for various prediction effects!

Every effect in this book is a standout, requiring solid presentation yet remaining accessible for performers of all levels!
