Impromptu Mentalism with Just a Pen and Your Business Card

Experience the magic of mentalism using only a pen and your business card! Inspired by the incredible Max Maven, this effect involves writing a prediction on the back of your business card and setting it aside. You present your participant with three imaginary coins. After selecting one and flipping it, she reveals whether it landed heads or tails. To her astonishment, you turn over your card to show that you predicted her choice and its outcome.

This expanded manuscript, created in collaboration with Richard Busch, delves deeper into the thinking and philosophy behind the “Assertive Positive Negative” routine. It features Richard’s “Triple Play Thought Projection,” enhancing the effect to include three distinct thought projections. Additionally, Richard shares various variations and concepts related to the premise.

The original “Assertive Positive Negative” has been a top seller, and this new edition is significantly enhanced! It retains its charm as an impromptu miracle that requires no setup, no additional props (just a piece of paper and a writing tool, both of which can be borrowed), no sleight of hand, and absolutely no cleanup!
