Best Friends Forever by Alvo Stockman – Ebook Only

A groundbreaking writing technique tailored for close-up performers. Master this incredible skill to read minds and execute breathtaking prediction effects in real-time. This is the next level of mentalism.

From the innovative mind of Alvo Stockman comes a transformative approach to group-level mentalism. BFF is not merely a single trick; it’s a comprehensive system for predictions that allows you to create an endless array of astonishing effects. Here are a few scenarios:

Imagine being at a restaurant with three friends, you say:

“You know me well… you’re my three best friends. I want to try something intriguing. Often, I feel like I can predict what one of you will say before you even say it. For instance, John, if I mention the word ‘barn,’ what’s the first word that comes to your mind?”

“Horse,” he replies.

“‘Horse,’ right. If I predicted that, it wouldn’t be too impressive; many might say ‘horse.’ Let’s make this more challenging. I’ll attempt to predict a chain of associations among the three of you. For example, if I say ‘barn,’ and John says ‘horse,’ then Luke says ‘jockey,’ and Michael says ‘helmet,’ predicting the final word ‘helmet’ would be significantly harder!”

“I’m going to write down a word here and try to initiate a chain of thoughts that will lead to Michael saying this word. I’ll cover it with my hand for now. To start, John, what’s the first word that comes to mind when I say ‘blue’?”

OR

“We’ve shared many great moments together. I’m thinking of one of those times. I’ll write down a word that reminds me of that experience, and I want the three of you to guess not only the event but also the word that encapsulates it.”

This approach encourages your friends to reminisce about cherished memories, fostering a positive atmosphere and strengthening connections.

OR

“I’m recalling a special moment for the four of us. I know you subconsciously understand what I’m referring to. I’ll write down the time on this placemat.”

“John, please say a number between 1 and 12 for the hour. Four? Great. Now, Luke, pick a number between one and sixty for the minutes. Michael, ‘AM’ or ‘PM?’ Perfect.”

“Do you remember the time we played beach volleyball in San Diego with the women’s national team? We must have been thinking about it subconsciously because that was around 4:37 PM, just as I’ve written here.”

OR

Distribute four different colored pens. Each person secretly writes their lucky number on the table and covers it with their hands. Using the remaining pen, you write your lucky number as well. After they reveal their numbers, you unveil that yours is the largest, which is actually the sum of their lucky numbers!

OR

With a single friend, write down a word and cover it. Ask her to read your mind by looking into your eyes. When she guesses “Window?” you respond, “Very close!” revealing, “I was thinking of ‘wind.’”

AND MUCH MORE! Keep reading…
