This book features material ideal for casual performances that leave a lasting impression on participants. Here’s what you can expect:
The Loser Wins
After performing the “Which Hand” routine, you’ll demonstrate your ability to predict your participant’s choices in an imaginary game. From selecting a coin to guessing its outcome, everything is pre-written on a folded paper they keep until the end. This routine is wallet-friendly and has been a staple in Gabriel’s performances for years.
U2
Imagine being able to predict the outcome of a Which Hand game involving two spectators.
Heads I Win, Tails You Lose
This impromptu method guarantees you will always win a mental coin toss. The presentation elevates the effect into a high-stakes game where your reputation hangs in the balance.
Know-Way
A clever technique for identifying a participant’s chosen card from multiple options, praised by magicians like John Bannon and Christian Grace.
The Life-Changing Decision
This impactful routine is perfect for everyday carry (EDC). Will you risk your future with a simple choice? With just a folded bill and an index card, this routine was a highlight at the 2024 Promystic Master Mentalism Seminar and is worth the price of the book.
The Consolation Prize
If you’ve ever doubted the power of a 50/50 choice, this routine will astound you. It combines simplicity, suspense, and surprise, leading to a thrilling gambling game where the spectator wins a customized prize—a ‘Jackpot’ scratch ticket that could be worth much more than the $100 bills they might have won.
