Introducing The Pin Project by Luke Turner

I’m thrilled to unveil my latest endeavor, The Pin Project. After a year of dedicated work, I’ve crafted a comprehensive guide that equips you with essential techniques for various scenarios. This project features seven innovative methods for revealing a participant’s PIN code.

Renowned mentalists like Phedon Bilek, Ben Cardall, and Art Vanderlay have praised this project, and I’m confident you will too! You’ll master six propless techniques, along with one that utilizes an element participants will easily forget.

Here’s an insightful review from Nico Heinrich:

The Pin Project by Luke Turner

This book showcases incredible techniques for uncovering the four digits of a participant’s real or fictional PIN. Luke presents seven methods for achieving one remarkable effect—an impressive variety! If you don’t find something useful here, I’d be surprised.

Participants never write anything down, and most methods require no props at all. Only one method involves a deck of cards, and “A Precarious PIN” is the only one that requires something to write on (unless you have an exceptional memory—then even this method is entirely propless!). The material is brilliant and practical, ensuring you’ll find at least one idea to incorporate into your performances. I’m quite selective about methods; I avoid gimmicks and complex setups. I prefer straightforward, intuitive techniques that allow me to enjoy the experience alongside my audience, which is why I adore “A Precarious PIN.” Let’s explore the various approaches:

The Preposterous Pin Prediction

Participants are asked whether specific digits are in their PIN, with the freedom to lie or switch between truth and deception. We can accurately determine all four digits. This method is simple, clever, and highly deceptive, with a minimal risk of failure (approximately 10%, but with the subtleties taught, it’s likely much lower). Luke also shares a way to ensure a 100% success rate, which some may find appealing.

A Peculiar PIN

Participants add or subtract numbers from their PIN digits and only reveal the result. While it’s workable, it’s not my personal favorite. This method served as a foundation for other techniques in this release, so its imperfections are understandable.

A Peculiar PIN V2

This version improves upon the original but still isn’t my top choice. However, I can see many performers finding it useful.

A Precarious PIN

Similar to “The Preposterous Pin Prediction,” this method allows participants to lie or tell the truth about their PIN digits, with no risk of failure. Luke provides an engaging presentation, making this method extremely easy to perform while remaining highly deceptive. The process feels natural, as you simply ask questions, allowing participants to switch roles, creating an illusion of fairness. I can’t express how much I appreciate this ingenious concept.

A (P)silent PIN

This isn’t a standalone method but a technique to enhance the deception of other methods in the book.

A Phantom PIN

This approach allows you to perform various divination methods discreetly, ensuring your audience remains unaware of your techniques. It cleverly employs soft dual reality.

A Perfect PIN

This method offers a unique PIN reveal using playing cards. Your audience will likely forget that cards were involved, showcasing excellent thinking and a practical way to learn a PIN if you don’t mind using a deck.

The book concludes with an afterword by Mitchell Kettlewell, featuring additional insights on the concept of “A Perfect PIN.”

Keep an eye on Luke; he’s a force to be reckoned with.
