Gregory Arce – Simple Minded (Limited Edition)

Format: PDF

Greg’s latest book is a treasure trove of mentalism techniques, featuring 10 dynamic routines spread across 73 pages. This collection includes insights from his acclaimed performances, such as:

POINTILISM – A captivating drawing duplication effect designed for those who prefer to avoid peeks, switches, or pre-show work. It offers a genuine “free-will” experience while cleverly concealing its mechanics. (Greg could have easily marketed this as a standalone effect, but it’s fully explained in this book.)

THINK THAT TUNE – An innovative concept inspired by Pointilism, yet distinct in its execution. In this routine, a spectator plays a song on a xylophone, and another participant guesses the title. Your prediction reveals the song’s name, the spectator’s name, and the number of notes played before arriving at the correct answer.

AWE-SOME TOTAL – Drawing from Larry Becker’s principles, this routine involves a small paper bag containing a calculator and slips of paper. The audience calls out numbers to form a six-digit total, which a participant then verifies by adding the slips from the bag. Remarkably, the total matches the previously created number without any forcing, switching, or gimmicks. The slips can vary each performance and can be inspected beforehand. This effect has astonished both magicians and mentalists, even those familiar with Becker’s original routine!

“Thanks once again, Greg. I’m always intrigued by your creativity. The map concept is particularly impressive, and I believe it has great potential for production. Your version of Sum Total is also outstanding!” – Banachek
