Note: This is NOT the method described in The Incredible Feats of Jason Michaels. This is a brand-new technique making its debut in print.
This exclusive information is not available anywhere else. This unique effect is sure to astonish your audience! In the 1980s, Uri Geller performed a similar effect that gained significant attention. However, Geller’s method involved switching bean seeds, preventing spectators from experiencing the true energy of this enhanced version.
EFFECT: The magician presents a small clear Ziploc bag filled with unaltered bean seeds, which can be inspected by the audience. A spectator selects a handful of seeds, and upon opening their hand, the magician reveals one seed, demonstrating it to be an ordinary bean seed. The magician gently strokes the seed with a fingertip while the spectator returns the remaining seeds to the bag.
The magician places the single seed into the spectator’s palm, instructing them to close their hand, creating an atmosphere of warmth and darkness. With empty hands, the magician moves around the spectator’s closed fist, claiming to transmit psychic energy to the seed.
Remarkably, the spectator can feel this energy! When they open their hand, they discover that the bean seed has sprouted, allowing them to examine it and keep it as a memorable souvenir.
This innovative close-up effect breaks away from traditional card or coin tricks. It’s incredibly easy to perform, and the magician remains completely clean at the conclusion. Ideal for both magicians and psychics.
- Absolutely no switching of the bean at any point
- Can be performed with any type of bean seeds
- All items can be thoroughly examined
- No gimmicks of any kind involved
The Farmer’s Market Ploy
This is one of Devin Knight’s favorite summer performances. With farmer’s markets in nearly every city, Devin approaches a booth selling seeds. He picks a bean from a bin and asks the farmer if the seeds are easy to sprout. He hands the bean to the farmer, who makes a fist around it, holding it upward. Devin then sends psychic energy toward the farmer’s fist; astonishingly, the farmer feels this energy. When the farmer opens his hand, the bean has sprouted, and he will proudly show it to everyone, sharing tales of your extraordinary abilities. This serves as an excellent publicity stunt. Again, there are no switches—just select a bean and hand it to the farmer. It’s so simple you’ll amaze yourself.
