52 Pieces of Printed Paper for Mental Demonstrations by Pablo Amira

PDF

I recently completed my reading of Pablo Amira’s “52 Pieces of Printed Paper.” This work stands out as his best to date, featuring 169 pages filled with illustrations and some embedded video content. Visually, it’s a remarkable resource, making it appealing to both regular card performers and mentalists who occasionally use playing cards. This collection is truly a treasure for anyone in the field.

The essays, while concise, effectively communicate valuable ideas and concepts. Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll find in this work:

• Essay: Cards for Mentalism? – Explore how participants can perceive themselves as mind readers.
• Participant as a Mindreader: Techniques to enhance participant perception.
• Amira’s Dribble Glimpse: A method for revealing a “thought of card.”
• Unnamed Spread Force: A simple yet deceptive spread force technique.
• Reverse Spread Glimpse: A method for glimpsing a card after a participant’s peek.
• Wiccut Overhand False Shuffle: A unique approach to performing an overhand false shuffle without cutting the deck.
• Essay: Cards vs. Experience.
• Layman’s Double Lift: A normal-looking double lift based on practical experience.
