MATCHALOT MENTALISM by Howard Adams

Discover the ultimate guide to effortless mentalism and mental magic with “MATCHALOT MENTALISM” by Howard Adams, the acclaimed author of OICUFESP, Mindespa, and 666 Mentalism. This comprehensive hardcover book spans over 350 pages and includes nearly 500 illustrations!

Featuring more than 250 straightforward, self-working effects, this book covers matching effects, open predictions, and unique concepts without the need for complex sleight of hand. The presentations are versatile, easily adaptable to bizarre, mentalism, or scientific themes.

Self-working and mathematical magic captivates performers by allowing them to concentrate on presentation. However, it also challenges them to craft engaging narratives that elevate the effects beyond mere puzzles.

In “MATCHALOT,” Howard shares over 250 simple, self-working routines that often involve matching or predictions, utilizing small packs of cards, coins, or numbers. Many effects can be tailored to ESP or picture card themes. Additionally, book owners can access the Matchalot Support Page to explore how others have themed and presented Howard’s ideas in recent contests.

Howard’s concise writing style provides a clear framework for each theme or presentation, following a straightforward structure to explain necessary procedures. His numerous illustrations serve as helpful visual references for props and routines. Once familiar with his approach, readers can quickly grasp the essence of each effect and begin to adapt it to their own style. A word of caution: take your time with these effects. Many are similar, and rushing through may lead to confusion.

Stay tuned for our upcoming contest, where we will showcase new results and exciting developments. Many performers have successfully featured these self-working effects, even in remote settings or on the radio, turning them into reputation builders!
