Mysteriouser and Mysteriouser By Raj Madhok
Raj Madhok has been a significant figure in the magic community long before the founding of Vanishing Inc. As a trusted editor and creative collaborator, he has contributed to numerous magic journals over the last thirty years. We are thrilled to announce the release of his latest work in mentalism.
Mysteriouser and Mysteriouser is a 54-page softcover book featuring nine of Raj’s most cherished effects. While primarily designed for close-up performances, these routines can also be adapted for larger audiences, including a captivating chair test suitable for the stage.
Imagine revealing someone’s birthday without any prior knowledge or questions. This book teaches you how to intuitively identify an audience member’s best friend, manipulate their sense of touch, subtly influence their choices, and describe a book and a specific word that exists only in their imagination. Additionally, you’ll discover a collection of invisible M&Ms and two astonishing card effects, all relying on psychological subtleties rather than complex sleights.
We are proud to offer this exclusive release from Vanishing Inc.
