Transformative Mentalism Effects

These unique effects are crafted to blend method with technique, enhancing your performances. By integrating skills like deduction, muscle reading, or trance techniques, you can elevate a simple effect into a captivating experience. My passion lies in techniques that rely solely on skill, such as cold reading or even a classic game of rock-paper-scissors. I hope these effects inspire you to harness these skills in your own performances.

FLIPPED OFF: Engage in a thrilling coin toss experiment where a spectator tosses a borrowed coin five times. You will accurately predict how many times you will guess correctly. The spectator can then participate, and you’ll predict how many times they will guess the coin’s landing side correctly. Each performance yields different outcomes!

MUSICAL INFLUENCE: Three spectators each think of a song from your musical library. In the first round, you guess the first spectator’s song. In the second, you not only identify the song but also describe what they visualize. Finally, one spectator reads another’s mind to reveal the third song.

Sensory Perception: Determine the material someone is thinking of by observing their reactions. Then, have one spectator think of a drink while another, with eyes closed, not only guesses the drink but also tastes it!

PSY-DO: Experience a psychic twist on Cluedo! You can reveal who selected each part of the mystery and even have spectators imagine the killer’s face, providing them with a photo of their imagined character.

Mobiles Communicate: Reveal personal details about your spectators and their phones by simply hearing their ringtones, including guessing their phone numbers!

Divine Post: A spectator divines remarkable details about a postcard sealed in an envelope on the table.

The Shoosting: This is my modern take on the ESP matchup game, set in a penalty shootout scenario between a goalkeeper and a striker.

Sherlockian 2.0: This section explores how to incorporate deduction into your act. Discover insights on distinguishing cat and dog lovers, what their possessions reveal about them, and how to interpret personality traits based on footwear.

Reviews:

Ray Doetjes – Professional Mentalist from the Netherlands: “Woooh, where do I begin? Your mind is a goldmine, consistently producing AMAZING ideas! I appreciate the minimalist approach to props. I’m eager to try several effects, starting with PSY-DO for walkaround performances. SENSORY PERCEPTION is another favorite of mine that I will definitely incorporate. This manuscript is excellent—enough material to create two or three quality manuscripts. KUDOS!”

Mark Elsdon (creator of iBalance and Rubik Remembered): “Smart, modern mentalism that explores chance, music, perception, board games, intuition, and football. Ben’s psychometry routine using mobile phones stands out as the highlight—brilliant thinking and a powerful routine. Highly recommended!”
