The Legacy of Phantini with Richard Osterlind (Instant Download)

Unlock the Secrets of Mentalism — Discover advanced mentalism techniques that even seasoned professionals may not know. This nearly three-hour course reveals SIX expertly crafted miracles, each designed to be a showstopper.

Phantini was a legendary mentalist who captivated audiences in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. His innovative material was not only groundbreaking but also remarkably effective.

Opener Book Test — The mentalist presents two ordinary paperback books. One is handed to an audience member while another spectator joins on stage. The spectator places a business card in the middle of the book held by the mentalist, revealing a page number and a word. After writing down the page number on the card, the audience member opens their book to that page. Meanwhile, another audience member thinks of someone close to them and seals it in an envelope. The mentalist reveals the page number and word from the stage spectator, followed by the thought of the person from the audience.

Psychic Symbols — Three spectators come on stage where the mentalist presents a stack of cards, each featuring a unique symbol. A fourth spectator blindfolds the mentalist, who then accurately divines the symbols chosen by the volunteers.

The Moving Hand Writes — With two spectators on stage, the mentalist shuffles a deck of cards and deals five onto a table. One spectator selects a card, mixes the cards, and the second spectator does the same. Despite being several feet away, the mentalist identifies the cards they are thinking of. One spectator returns to the audience while the other remains on stage. The mentalist shuffles the deck and presents an envelope containing a single card. As the spectator deals cards into the mentalist’s hands, they stop at a matching card from the envelope.

Incredible Insight #2 — Using a paper bag and several pieces of newspaper, a volunteer selects a section, crumples it, and tosses it into the bag. After mixing all the pieces, the mentalist retrieves the exact chosen piece and reveals a word from it.

Micro Crypto — Spectators think of various charms displayed on a table. The mentalist reveals their thoughts without any notes. For the finale, they select one charm, which the mentalist accurately predicts.

Phantini’s Magazine Miracle — A participant freely chooses a page from a magazine marked with an X. Another spectator selects a word from that page. Remarkably, their chosen word matches a prediction that has been visible throughout the performance.
