Fooling With Freud by Mark Elsdon – Exclusive eBook
“Fooling with Freud is unlike anything I’ve encountered! Mark Elsdon’s work is a stunning blend of creativity and expertise. His profound grasp of mentalism techniques has culminated in a breathtaking three-phase routine that is both astonishing and seamless. This is my top pick for ‘Conversation as Mentalism’ – and for those familiar with the series, that speaks volumes.” – Atlas Brookings
“Brilliant! Mark has ingeniously woven together various methods into a framework that will make audiences believe you’re reading their thoughts and analyzing their mental processes in real-time.” – Colin McLeod
“Fooling With Freud is a true masterpiece. It’s clever, straightforward, and incredibly deceptive. Every modern mentalist should have this in their toolkit! I wholeheartedly endorse it.” – Michael Murray
In recent years, Mark has crafted several impactful routines in conversational mentalism, each deserving its own release. The inaugural entry in this Private Release series is Fooling With Freud, a fully practical piece of innovative mentalism.
Aligned with the Conversation As Mentalism philosophy, this routine requires no props; it’s a pure three-phase demonstration of direct mindreading. There are no playing cards, smartphones, peek devices, stooges, guessing, or reliance on averages.
What’s the effect? In increasingly random ways, the participant simply thinks of something (without writing it down or sharing it), and you reveal their thoughts. The routine escalates through each phase, leading everyone to believe you must be inside their mind!
Perform it in close-up settings, on stage, or in casual environments like pubs. It’s effective for both individual performances and larger groups. If you enjoy Mark’s CAM series, you will absolutely LOVE this! And even if you’re new to the CAM books, you’ll still find it captivating!
