In today’s world, every magician or mentalist must incorporate effects using phones, tablets, or laptops. The following mentalism routines appear effortless and can be performed spontaneously.

No special apps or sleight of hand are necessary.

• OPEN SESAME Unlock any device without physical contact! Simple to execute, enjoyable to present, and completely hands-off. Suitable for any locked phone, tablet, PC, or keylock.
• STUCK A technique to force any number using a borrowed iPhone (and potentially other devices).
• CALC’ACAAN An innovative ACAAN that utilizes any phone or calculator to reveal a chosen number.
• SERIAL KILLER The audience discovers a serial number from a borrowed bill using an iPhone.
• BOOK TEST A book test where a random number reveals the page, line, and word in a borrowed book, using any iPhone.
• TELEPHONE NUMBERS Phase 1: The audience learns your phone number. Phase 2: You obtain the phone numbers of multiple audience members.
• THOUGHT NUMBERS DIVINATIONS Spectators select business cards with various calculations. Each participant thinks of a large number and calculates on their phones. Ultimately, the performer reveals all initial numbers.
• MY PIN A spectator uncovers your PIN code using any phone, calculator, or laptop.
• YOUR PIN 1 A clever twist where you discover the PIN code using any borrowed device.
• YOUR PIN 2 Another method to reveal a PIN number with any borrowed device.
• YOUR PIN 3 Yet another technique for discovering a PIN number using any borrowed device.
• RANDOM CHARACTERS PREDICTION You place a prediction on the table. Spectators type random characters into the NOTES app on your iPhone without looking, and you accurately predict their entries. The following effects require a one-time setup, but the ingenious principle will transform your iPhone into a powerful prediction tool.
• NAME A CARD A spectator names any card (no forcing), and it matches your prediction on the iPhone.
• THINK OF A CARD 1 You hand a borrowed deck to a spectator for safekeeping and reveal a single prediction in the NOTES or AGENDA on your iPhone. The spectator thinks of a card, shuffles the deck, and deals until they find their chosen card. Your prediction states: “(date and location). Today, John will THINK of a card. Any card. This card will be 14th from the top of the deck.”
• THINK OF A CARD 2 A variation where you also predict the chosen card.
