Zodiac Miracle
The first effect, Zodiac Miracle, showcases brilliant thinking, although it may not be applicable in every country. I’ve adapted some of its concepts for my own use. This effect allows you to reveal specific details about a stranger’s life without ever meeting them in person.
Turbo Three Way Prediction
This second effect revitalizes classic methods with innovative thinking, making it a valuable addition to your mentalism repertoire.
Cards in Mentalism
Brehaut presents an insightful essay on the integration of cards into mentalism. Many mentalists shy away from using cards, but he provides compelling reasons to incorporate them into your performances.
Pin Attack
Next is Pin Attack, a personal favorite of mine. In this effect, you reveal someone’s PIN number without any prior knowledge or written clues. While I can’t disclose too much, it’s not a bank PIN—it’s something different.
Lottery ACAAN
Lottery ACAAN combines the ACAAN principle with a lottery theme, utilizing a well-known gimmick from two years ago, along with a simple gimmick you can create in minutes. This combination enhances the overall impact of the effect.
Covered
Covered is designed for close-up, impromptu performances using spare change, while Exact Change offers a unique twist on a concept similar to Greg Wilson’s work.
Fool Us
Inspired by a magician’s performance on Fool Us, Brehaut’s method diverges from the original showcased on the show.
FATE
FATE employs a method akin to Lottery ACAAN but features a distinct presentation.
SUPALOCK Presentation
Brehaut also discusses a presentation for SUPALOCK, adding depth to the material.
INSPIRED
INSPIRED stands out as one of the highlights of the book, drawing inspiration from magician Nate Staniforth.
There are about six additional effects similar to those mentioned, but I won’t delve into them here. Personally, I found the book to be worth it for Inspired, Pin Attack, Zodiac Miracle, Fool Us, and more.
I am confident you will easily find two to three ideas from this book that you can implement into your performances.
