mentalism

Animania is another great tool for the mentalist!

It appears to be an authentic "Telepathy Testing Card" from the National Institute of Parapsychology.

Perfect for anytime, walk around and close up mentalism! This is a complete routine that fits neatly in your wallet! Be ready to perform a complete routine with just one card!

The card is about the same width as a credit card, but a little taller, so it fits perfectly in a standard credit card slot in any wallet.

Effect:
The performer displays a telepathy testing card from the National Institute of Parapsychology. It is explained that this card is from the "chromatology" (study of colors) testing set, and this particular card pertains to animals.

The spectator is instructed to think on any one of the 16 animals on the card (completely free choice), and to visualize the animal appearing in 4 different colors. No words are spoken by the spectator, and no questions are asked.

The performer immediately begins to reveal information about the animal:

The spectator is asked to think of different characteristics about the animal, such as its size, color, number of legs it has, habitat, etc. (again, nothing is spoken by the spectator, and no questions are asked).

"Imagine that you're touching this animal, imagine how it feels. I get the sense that this is an animal with fur, unlike a snake or a fish. Yes, brown fur. Also, this animal has only two legs. Think about something this animal would eat... that's a banana! You're thinking of a monkey!"

Of course, the performer is always correct.

The following is true about Animania

  • No Force
  • Different animal every time
  • Nothing is ever written down
  • No questions are asked
  • No progressive anagrams
  • No fishing
  • No "instant stooges" or "dual reality"

  • The card is un-gimmicked and can be handled by the spectator freely
  • The card appears to spectators to be an authentic testing tool
  • The card is un-gimmicked and is handled by the spectator freely
  • Card is durable and will last a long time!
Includes one double sided card and 17 page instruction manual.

Includes the full routine above, and 2 bonus effects.

I like the trick. However, the description of the presentation of this effect makes it seem a lot more "clean" than it truly is. He has left out the part about the spectator repeatedly snapping his fingers when he sees his animal. WAY less clean than the way the effect is written.

Next, I think the actual trick is great, but it's regurgitated greatness. I wish the credits would have been revealed in the product description so that I would have been able to identify the fact that I essentially already "have it" in other forms.

Next, I'm not too impressed by the actual quality of the material the card is printed on. The ink is faint for certain colors. Also, it's simply printed on good glossy paper, with maybe some sort of lamination treatment I'm unfamiliar with. However, I was expecting/hoping for something printed on PVC credit card or rewards card type of material. Would be WAY better. It's laughable to think that this is supposed to look like something authentic. That's craziness. You're better off just thinking that the effect will be good enough for them to suspend disbelief.
