Paul Brook – Around The Table
Discover “Around the Table,” a curated collection of Paul Brook’s top three mentalism effects designed for intimate gatherings. Each effect is crafted for immediate impact, ensuring you can perform without pre-show setups or reliance on assistants. These routines are straightforward yet profoundly deceptive, perfect for real-world scenarios.
Each effect fits comfortably in your pocket, allowing for seamless performances without the need for a jacket. Here’s a glimpse of what you can expect:
- THE LAST WORD: Participants think of an unusual word, which the performer predicts using two cards placed face down. As individuals are eliminated, the final person’s word is revealed, matching the predictions.
- I’VE GOT YOUR NUMBER: A sealed envelope is placed on the table. After participants think of a digit, a selected individual determines the order for revealing their numbers. The envelope is opened to reveal the correctly predicted numbers, along with an additional prediction for the selector’s number.
- RING OF WHISPERS: Attendees gather their rings, which are locked in a combination padlock. Through a game of “Chinese Whispers,” a combination is derived, leading to the lock opening. The performer then identifies each ring’s owner, returning them accurately.
These effects guarantee that every participant shares the same experience, creating a uniformly baffling atmosphere. Additionally, Paul shares his insights on enhancing table-to-table entertainment, providing valuable subtleties to elevate your performances.
