Mind-Blowing Effects by Andrew Mayne
Discover five astonishing effects that will captivate your audience and leave them in awe. Each routine is straightforward to master, and for the first time, Andrew reveals some of his closely guarded secrets.
POP FIST – Kick off your performance with a stunning effect that utilizes only your hands. This simple yet impactful trick is perfect for creating a memorable moment and delivering your own close-up pyrotechnic spectacle.
DRAWN FROM THE LIGHT – Bring a drawn light bulb to life. Start with a sketch of a light bulb on paper, and with a wave, watch it illuminate. Then, pull the glowing bulb into the real world.
DEATH FINGER – Stab a selected card in mid-air using just your finger. A spectator picks and marks a card, which is then lost in the deck. As you toss the cards into the air, you pinpoint their card with your bare finger.
FINGER SAW – Execute an impromptu finger amputation using playing cards. If you have a couple of Jokers handy, use them to create a shocking close-up illusion reminiscent of the classic “sawing a lady in half” trick.
STAB’D – Experience a thrilling mentalism routine with a sharpened pencil. In this impromptu version of a classic mentalism effect, a pencil is hidden in one of three envelopes. A spectator freely chooses which envelopes are empty, and you demonstrate the illusion by stabbing the first selection into your chest and slamming their hand into the second, both unharmed. Finally, you reveal the deadly pencil in the last envelope. While other versions may be pricier, many believe Andrew’s rendition is the best due to its simplicity, gritty realism, and the ability to perform it spontaneously with a real sharp object.
