Discover the Power of Mind Reading with Mentelimination

Experience the thrill of predicting a card chosen by a spectator from a shuffled deck.

EFFECT: The magician claims to have honed his mind to function like a computer. To showcase this ability, he invites a spectator to shuffle a deck of cards, select one without looking, and conceal it in their pocket. After retrieving the deck, the magician swiftly scans through the cards, then performs an even quicker second pass, ultimately revealing one card face down on the table. The spectator then reveals their chosen card, placing it face-up next to the magician’s card. When the magician turns his card over, if the spectator’s card is the Three of Hearts, his will be the Three of Diamonds, perfectly matching in value and color.

In this manuscript, Ken provides comprehensive instructions along with three alternative endings. While Mentelimination stands as a powerful effect on its own, it also proves invaluable when a challenging spectator insists on testing your skills by asking, “Now tell me what card I’ve taken?” You will be ready to impress!

• Ken has streamlined the method, making it accessible to everyone with some practice.

• No prior preparation is required.

• Utilize any standard deck of cards.

• The spectator shuffles the deck themselves.

• This is the simplest way to perform this classic effect.
