Mirabill by Dr. Bill (PDF Instant Download)

“Bill has transformed a modern classic, enhancing it with clever touches. This routine unfolds entirely in the spectator’s hands, resembling a remote viewing experiment under almost laboratory conditions. It’s the simple concepts like this that truly astonish.” – Greg Arce

“I previously shied away from this effect, thinking it was too easily explained. However, your presentation has revitalized my interest. This modification is exceptional and beautifully crafted.” – Tony Eye

Now, one of the most remarkable “self-working” effects in mentalism has been refined to be genuinely self-working! “He asked me to bring a deck of cards for a friendly game. Never trust a man who calls a game friendly.” “I still can’t comprehend how it happened. They were my cards. I shuffled and dealt, yet he knew exactly how everything would unfold.” “If it had only occurred once, I might have convinced myself it was mere luck. But the second time shattered any such notions. How could he predict the exact outcome of the cards?” “Every choice I made, the randomness of the cards, twists of fate that only Dame Fortune should have foreseen; did he predict or manipulate them?”

Stuart James Miraskill, first featured in the September 1936 edition of The Jinx, has rightfully earned its status as a mentalism classic. It stands out as one of the most notable contributions to The Jinx, garnering significant attention and various adaptations.

While often labeled as “self-working,” some sleight of hand was previously necessary. Ingenious alternatives have been explored, but none quite like Mirabill. The core concept remains unchanged: the mentalist predicts the arrangement of red and black cards dealt from a borrowed, shuffled deck. To eliminate any doubt of luck, the effect is repeated with a completely different and even more astonishing outcome.

There’s no palming, no additional props, and no sleights involved; Mirabill is entirely impromptu and can be performed with any borrowed deck at any moment. The entire effect occurs in your guest’s hands and has been streamlined for a quicker, more impactful performance than the original!

Additionally, The Twist is introduced, allowing two guests to compete in a unique manner that alters the game’s appearance while retaining all the benefits of Mirabill. As a bonus, the ebook The Mirabill Supplement is included, featuring contributions from Greg Arce, Jerome Finley, Mike Sturgeon, Tony Iacovello, Deddy Corbuzier, Joshua Quinn, Jim Callahan, and John Bannon, all inspired by the enthusiastic response to Mirabill within the mentalism and magic community.
