Mike Kempner – S and S Method

Have you witnessed the astonishing moment when Derren Brown blindfolds a spectator? In this captivating performance, the spectator is asked to concentrate on a word that Derren has drawn and displayed to the audience. Remarkably, she has no prior knowledge of this word, and there’s no pre-show trickery involved. After receiving Derren’s instructions, she makes a drawing on her notepad. When she removes her blindfold on the count of three, her drawing perfectly matches Derren’s. The S&S Method, never before disclosed, empowers you to replicate this extraordinary mentalism effect.

Effect:

You blindfold a genuine spectator—no stooge involved. You create a drawing on paper and reveal it to the audience, ensuring the spectator has no idea what it is. You then guide her to imagine being in a restaurant, focusing on the aroma of her favorite dish. After she completes her drawing, she removes her blindfold to reveal a perfect match: both of you have drawn a birthday cake! The astonishment on her face mirrors that of the audience, as she is genuinely surprised by the outcome.
