“There’s definitely a place for playing cards in mentalism. The methods behind any card trick must be concealed to avoid dire consequences. It must appear genuine, not like a trick! Patrick has crafted effects that achieve just that. The methods are cleverly disguised, and the impact is profound. All you need is courage, a deck of cards, and an eager audience.” – Banachek

“Exceptional material, even for those who typically avoid cards.” – Marc Salem

“The participant chooses their own cards face-up and still loses? That’s unbelievable! I’m intrigued.” – Leo Boudrou

Discover 4+ effects included:

Card Counter: Under optimal conditions, the performer identifies the card the subject is thinking of after a rapid glance through the deck. After proving correct, the subject is empowered to replicate this challenging feat with astonishing results.

SPOT POKER TELLS: In a shuffled deck, the performer detects the precise moment the subject sees their thought-of card without ever looking at or touching the cards during the deal. The subject remains silent, yet the performer knows!

ESP CARDS: Five ESP cards are matched perfectly by the subject in a straightforward and mind-blowing manner. This routine is virtually self-working. 30 Card Poker Deal: Master the art of influencing every decision made by your subject. This highly anticipated poker deal routine features real suggestion techniques, complete fail-safes, and a surprising kicker prediction ending. It even works with jumbo cards on stage!

“The participant chooses their own cards face-up and still loses? That’s unbelievable! I’m intrigued.” – Leo Boudreau

Each effect demands only basic sleight-of-hand skills and is nearly self-working.

You’ll also learn exclusive card sleights:

The Fishman Shuffle: An excellent full-deck overhand false shuffle for mentalists.
The Fishman Switch: A motionless, sleight-free packet switch as simple as squaring a deck of cards.
Tetrad Switch: Redford’s four-object switch returns.
The PGR-PM Principle: A virtually self-working, hands-off card control that positions a card wherever you desire.
