The Magician That Became The Mentalist by Dustin Dea

“The Magician That Became The Mentalist” is a comprehensive collection of practical routines and insights developed over several years. This book features some of my most frequently performed original effects, along with my perspectives on the art of mentalism and magic. You’ll discover the significance of performance, the concept of dual reality, the power of simplicity, and much more. This resource is packed with valuable effects and guidance for magicians, mentalists, and everyone in between! Additionally, I introduce a groundbreaking principle called the “WatchStop” principle, which can be seamlessly integrated into your own performances. Whether you’re just starting out or are an experienced performer, you’ll find something to inspire you within these pages!

The effects included are:

• QuICk: A marked coin is discovered within the fibers of a chosen playing card, blending magic with mentalism for an astonishing effect!
• Sneaky Peeky: A clever utility move that allows you to read the minds of two spectators simultaneously using just a deck of cards!
• Dual Fiction: Two participants’ minds become interconnected, leading them to find their thought-of cards in a shuffled deck. Both impromptu and gimmicked versions are explained (gimmicks not included).
• The Gambling Mentalist: A participant uses their intuition to guess the mentalist’s thought-of card, followed by a random selection that completes the mentalist’s winning poker hand!
• Training Wheels: A captivating stage piece utilizing a pendulum to reveal a volunteer’s specific memory by tapping into their subconscious.
• I.C.A.A.N.T. Even: A stage or parlor ACAAN that fulfills the criteria for the “holy grail.” A deck is entrusted to a volunteer while audience members freely generate both a card and a number. The chosen card is revealed at the selected position, with the potential for multiple selections! This effect requires no memorization and can be performed with a classic mentalism prop that you can create at home.
