Mist is one of my pet routines. If the title didn’t give it away yet, it’s based on Larry Becker’s “Sneak Thief” and Max Maven’s “Desire,” as well as many other variations. But what makes this version different is it uses no gimmicks and no marks of any kind. All you need are four business cards and a writing instrument and you’re good to go.

It’s one of my workhorses because I get so much out of so little work. It can be done in walk around and table hopping situations. It involves multiple people. It can be made as long or short as I need it. It’s technically easy to do, and it’s a beautiful plot that, in my opinion, really shows what a mind reader is supposed to do.

In this routine, you hand four participants a business card each and ask them to draw something. When they’re done, the cards are collected, mixed and handed to a participant. The participant turns over the first drawing and after you analyze it, you determine its author. You repeat the feat for the second and third drawings and, for the last drawing; you duplicate it without going near the card.

This method uses no marks, no gimmicks and is absolutely impromptu.

This blew my mind for its simplicity and direct nature. Can't recommend highly enough, with a little study, this something that you will 100% use.

I personally LOVE the single participant approach. Honestly this alone is worth picking up the project...

How much for a short PDF? Not enough. This is solid gold.

Four spectators think of different symbols or images. They each draw their image on the back of a business card. The cards are mixed face down and held by a volunteer. The volunteer hands you a card. You study it and (using your super-power) hand it to the person who thought of it. Then you do it again and again. One card is left face down and held by the volunteer. Without touching the card you duplicate the image.

I am so excited to start working on this routine. It's a fast-paced mentalism routine that is great for walk-around.

Pros:
+ Use any four business cards. No prep.
+ Spectators can keep the cards. There is nothing to find, except your contact details.
+ Motivated reason to give your business card out at events.
+ Highly interactive. You read four minds in minutes.
+ Very flexible. A blank canvas for your original presentation.
+ can perform it almost surrounded - not 100% angle-proof but very safe.
+ nothing too difficult - a basic sleight and it can and should be done sloppy.

Cons:
- to speed the procedural phase up, you'd want to hand out 4 pens ... and the idea of carrying 3 extra pens is a drawback for my pock management.
- you need good vision and decent light so you can quickly gather information.
- the basic sleight is NOT TAUGHT in the PDF. Yes, it's published in a hundred places and there are free tutorials on YouTube - but it is missing details on the essential sleight.

It's so simple and so strong. This is a dream mentalism trick for strolling magic.

I want to tell everyone about it, but I also want to keep it for myself.

I was looking EVERYWHERE for a way to do Sneak Thief with ungimmicked/unmarked business cards that can be done impromptu; just four business cards and a pen.

Mist is the answer.

Adrien Lochon’s Mist can be done with a group or one on one, large or small venues.
