Daniel Young – Remote City

PDF Download

Experience a captivating test of remote viewing with this unique effect. The mentalist presents a small book filled with various capital cities, sharing that these are destinations he aspires to visit. A participant randomly selects a page and chooses one city. Without any hints or fishing, the mentalist accurately reveals the city in the participant’s mind. The participant then thinks of a freely chosen location within that city, which the mentalist also correctly deduces. For the grand finale, the participant envisions an item related to their selected country, and the mentalist unveils an object that has been in plain sight, perfectly matching what the participant envisioned.

This effect, created by Daniel some time ago, was initially shared with only a select few. While it may not give you the same flair as Derren Brown on television, it is a practical routine that elicits impressive reactions. Along with the main effect, you’ll discover numerous additional ideas utilizing the same principle. Daniel emphasizes trust and authenticity over hype. Note that this routine incorporates elements of dual reality; if that concept doesn’t resonate with you, this may not be the right choice. However, unlike many dual reality performances, participants will still experience genuine magic, closely mirroring what the audience perceives. This effect is ideal for parlour settings but is versatile enough for close-up or stage performances.
