I really like Chris's thinking here on this lovely two-part mentalism routine which will either play
close-up or on stage. Everyone has some kind of bank or credit card so it is all organic. For
phase I, the technique is as old as the hills, but at the end of the nearly one-hour download, Chris
showed how to make the method even more deceptive with a terrific subtlety for these types of
routines. Brilliant! And for part II, I sussed out the method immediately--I'll explain shortly
that that is not a criticism--but his routining so that you end completely clean is perfect. This
is really great, and it's easy to see why Titans like Jermay, Paul, Salem, and Kennedy love it too.
It's going right into the repertoire.
OK, here's my humble addition--and how I figured the
method. The ubiquitous, smart-thinking Devin Knight has a short ebook called Credit Card
Divination, which use a similar, but simpler, method. (Part of the theory behind the effect is found
in one of the Johnny Thompson's Naked Mentalism books.) It would make a great add-on. If you are
lucky, you will not only be able to determine which envelope but also what type of credit card and
the digits.
Check out Pyschic Criminal, a fine, deceptive mentalism routine.
Wonderful two-part routine
