COALESCE by Abhinav Bothra (eBook + Video)

Experience a captivating 30-minute performance of prediction, pseudo-hypnosis, and mind reading, featuring both the performer and the participant.

COALESCE is a meticulously crafted act that requires minimal props:

• A deck of cards, a marker, and 2 extra jokers
• An envelope with just 3 minutes of preparation (no arts & crafts needed)
• A close-up pad (no arts & crafts needed)
• A table and 3 chairs

In 2016, I released three short e-books: A Thought Covertly Conveyed (ATCC), A Thought Stumbled Upon (ATSU), and A Thought Left Unsaid (ATLU). These titles were intentionally similar as they are all part of the COALESCE act.

Highlights of the e-books:

• ATCC: A blend of card magic and a spectator as a mind reader, where one participant selects a card while the other, with closed eyes, identifies it from a spread.
• ATSU: A participant selects a four-of-a-kind, and another deduces the suit and value of the card without prior knowledge.
• ATLU: A thought-of card is revealed without any verbal cues, as the performer turns away from the audience and later reveals the chosen card.

Additionally, the act includes a pseudo truth-teller and liar routine using the same deck of cards.

Key Features:

• Only one simple sleight is required, performed just once.
• Compact and easy to transport, yet impactful.
• Perfect for audiences of up to 100, depending on seating arrangements.
• All props (deck, marker, envelope) can be given away at the end.

This package includes a PDF guide and a 22-minute instructional video that thoroughly explains the act.
