“Nico’s innovative material is consistently stunning, empowering, and impressive. He has established himself as a rising star in mentalism, showcasing his unique artistry and originality in minimalist mind reading and propless mentalism.” – Jerome Finley

“Having known Nico for over a decade, I can confidently say that everything he creates is a true gem for mentalists and hypnotists alike. I’m a fan and proud to have used his work in real performances.” – Rainer Mees

This is Pure Mentalism — no complex setups or gimmicks required. However, this material is advanced. If you’re unfamiliar with audience management or haven’t explored Corinda’s 13 Steps to Mentalism or Annemann’s Practical Mental Effects, this may not be for you. For everyone else, this is an opportunity you won’t want to miss.

NOTE: AZMentalism offers all four volumes compiled into a single book, organized into four chapters.

Chapter 1: Mind Reading

– NUMBER STEAL MIND READING is a playful approach to mind reading demonstrations, providing a charming way to obtain someone’s phone number.

– FORGOTTEN IMPRESSIONS is an audacious peek technique that can be applied to zodiac signs, numbers, dates, colors, and more. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that participants won’t even recall writing anything down.

– 1000$ NAME GUESS is a billet-less method that is highly deceptive and nearly impossible to trace back. No notes, no gimmicks, minimal fishing required: participants think of an important person, and you reveal their name with just a few letters. While not foolproof, it works most of the time.

– PURE CARD READING offers a reliable way to discern the playing card someone is thinking of, without using a physical deck, writing anything down, or employing psychological forces. It’s completely propless and impromptu.

– THOUGHT SHARING is an insightful essay on a classic magician’s gag that can create the illusion of shared thoughts. Essential reading for every mind reader.

– UNIVERSAL ANYTHING is a versatile technique for describing a thought you have no prior knowledge of. A must-know for purists.

– UA BOOK TEST illustrates the UNIVERSAL ANYTHING technique in action. A participant freely selects a thought from a borrowed book, even changing their mind without any force! You describe their thought and reveal a prior word they were considering. Impromptu and effective.

– COCAINE is my most significant propless mind reading concept to date, worth at least double the price of this ebook. When someone asks, “Can you read my mind?” this is the answer. They think of anything, and you accurately describe their thoughts without any setup, confederates, or memorization. I’ve performed this hundreds of times in various settings. You will either love it or hate it — there’s no middle ground.

Chapter 2: PSYCHOMETRY

– BLUFF READINGS provides a simple framework for psychometry routines, making the reading aspect effortless.

– PHYSICAL EMOTIONS II is a reversed hand effect involving two emotions, culminating in a reveal of what they were thinking. Requires just two business cards and a pen, and is 100% impromptu.

– BOLD PSYCHOMETRY is so clean and convincing that it could easily be mistaken for genuine psychic ability. Participants think of a positive trait and three negative ones, which are written on business cards. You never see the writing but can identify and reveal the positive trait without touching the cards. It feels authentic and is also 100% impromptu.

– STAR SIGN PSYCHOMETRY employs four business cards and a pen, allowing you to effortlessly reveal a participant’s birth month and star sign.

Chapter 3: SUGGESTION

– SUBLIMINAL OPENER is a quick and clean mind control effect using three objects. While not groundbreaking, it serves as a clever opener with subtle nuances.

– HEAD TAP INDUCTION is an elegant method for inducing hypnosis using just one finger.

– THE ROTARY KNOB is an invisible tool for altering various sensations, such as rain intensity, pupil size, or object temperature — showcasing pure imaginative mentalism.

– INTENSE REALITY exemplifies suggestion at its best. You ask participants to close their eyes, and suddenly they experience reality with heightened intensity. This is one of the most reliable suggestion-based effects with numerous applications.

– ERASING A FEAR creates the illusion of eliminating fears while genuinely alleviating them.

– SUGGESTIVE READINGS enable you to influence behavior and reduce skepticism towards your performance, showcasing pure psychological manipulation.

Chapter 4: MISCELLANEOUS

– MOMENTALISM is a brief essay on the significance of the “magic moment” in mentalism.

– “I CAN’T READ YOU!” offers a unique approach that leaves a lasting impression on strangers without requiring any performance.

– ESPRESSO involves five business cards and a pen. Participants fairly choose one card and a number from one to five. When the chosen card is revealed, their selected number is written on its back, and the remaining cards are blank. It’s easy to execute and a clever way to distribute your business card, suitable for one or two participants.
