Jon Thompson – Naked Mentalism
After extensive testing by seasoned performers, the wait is finally over. This groundbreaking book introduces a fresh perspective in mentalism. The techniques within empower you to perform spontaneously, without relying on traditional tools or methods. You can even perform without any props to demonstrate that there’s no trickery involved. Engage with a spectator’s thought process as they make choices, utilize psychological principles, transform misses into successes, and conduct book tests with complete strangers—even over the phone. Most importantly, replace the intuition of a psychic with robust models that yield significantly higher success rates than conventional methods.
This book also features:
The Fully-Scripted Naked Book Test, a unique book test designed to mimic the abilities of a genuine psychic. There are no physical props involved: no handling, no gaffs, and nothing to write down or peek at. Simply approach a stranger reading any English text, ask them to choose a word, and reveal both the concept and the word itself. This can even be done over the phone. The script can be memorized and performed as is, or you can adapt it to fit your personal style. An appendix provides the foundational data for the Fully-Scripted Naked Book Test, allowing for customization.
“I have no problem standing behind this material 100 percent. I use it. I used it tonight at the Living Traditions Festival in SLC. It was a hit all night. I booked the gig by performing the Naked Book Test for an agent over the phone.” — Jerome Finley
“This book is immensely powerful and potentially dangerous in the wrong hands.” — Thomas Korelin
