The Mind Pro Set is a full 20 minutes self-contained close-up Mentalism set that is designed to be performed under 'spatially aware' conditions.

Slowly but surely the World is getting back to 'normal' but the biggest challenge, especially for mentalists, is to be able to perform close-up, whilst trying to avoid placing items on the table or letting spectators touch the props.

Luca Volpe, Paul McCaig and Alan Wong have designed five beautiful Mentalism routines which are very visual and extremely engaging and require no table, nor the need for the spectators having to handle the props, or to hand any of their belongings to the performer. This means that you can safely approach a group of people and perform your close-up set without the fear of invading their personal space, minimalizing the chances of transferring any germs via your props.

The specially designed props are produced to last, can be easily wiped clean between performances and are all self-contained inside the Mind Pro Set wallet. You can choose to perform all five routines in succession as a fully self-contained set, or select individually and add to your existing set-list.

The five routines included are:

Color-Test: A quick and very visual introductory routine were the participant clips the only red card located between four other green cards....they soon realize that their perception has been tricked!

Nite-Sight: A bank nite style routine with 3 colored envelopes and ready printed 'YOURS' and 'MINE' cards, where one or two audience members are invited to guess which is 'theirs' leaving 'yours'. They will successfully choose correctly but the one left for the performer will also contain a banknote of 100$!..Currency not included....Use your own!

DTC-Lite: In 2019 Luca Volpe and Paul McCaig released a very well received underground drawing-duplication stacked deck of ten cards, produced on credit card type plastic stock, which was so simple to memorize it was almost child's play!! The first batch of DTC sets sold out in less than 48 hours! Now you can own the 'Lite' version of this fantastic deck in thinner plastic, so the ten cards will fit nicely inside your wallet and last you forever! This deck will allow you to perform not only classic routines with a stacked deck, but you will also learn a new handling to perform this routine without the participants ever having to touch the cards!

Target-Word: This is a classic of Mentalism with a new design. You show any pocket sized book (Not included. Use any book in any language) and a plastic card which has the image of a target with a rectangular widow cut-out printed on it. Open the book and demonstrate that you will use the 'target card' to choose a 'target word'. Moving the card around the page the spectators will see different words through the window, all the words changing as the card glides around the page. An audience member will instruct you to stop at any time and at any location within the page. You ask your participant to look at and the words showing inside the window and shout out the longest or most unusual word. You then ask the group to take out their phones and go onto your social media, where they will discover that hours before the show you had actually posted a prediction of the freely chosen word! This is a powerful and simple routine to perform that will bring you a lot of business and repeat clients!

Photo-Wave: A simple and direct routine! You display a selection of picture cards and ask someone from the audience to freely choose one of them. Once a photograph has been chosen you show that on the back of each of the remaining ones is a large printed 'X'. To prove that you knew in advance which image they would be attracted to, you ask them to turn over their selection, where there is also a large 'X' but this one is printed in a completely different color!! A compact in the hands 'Brainwave' effect, with no sticky stuff and no rough and smooth!

In addition to these five classic routines you will find a special double-sided card, which has two optical illusion images printed on it. This is perfect to alternate in-between the routines in order to prove how easily the mind can be tricked!

All the beautifully printed cards are contained within a specially designed holder to sit comfortably in your pocket. Also included is a top quality thumb-tip stored inside a clear holder with the loop (This can be used to hold your prediction as alternative to the social media revelation), some extra blank cards for the 'Nite-Sight' routine, which you can personalize in your own language, a Sharpie marker and an elegant spiral note pad.

All the cards are in specially printed on high quality durable material and with good care will last a lifetime!

The explanation video is recorded as "lecture style" which means you will get performance and in-depth explanation from Luca, Paul and Alan.

Another excellent mentalism show in a bag from Luca Volpe and friends Report this review

A few years ago, Luca Volpe released The Fox, which was a beautiful leather portfolio with included props and routines. It was like buying an instant mentalism show. The Fox is beautiful but pricey. This is similar but on a more inexpensive scale. When I opened it up, I immediately recognized the effects. Indeed, I had already made up a few of them myself. There's nothing new here. These are all standards: a few optical illusions for fun, a variation of Richard Osterlind's Bank Night combined with Alakazam's Executive Suite, a picture version of Ed Marlo's Eight-Card Brainwave, the Target Word book test, and a lite version of Volpe's DTC drawing duplication, which is a lot like Osterlind's ODD). While you don't get anything earthshattering, the props are just gorgeous. All the cards are hard plastic. They can be wiped down and will last you a lifetime. The Bank Night envelopes are sturdy Tyvek. Plus, if you didn't have one in your drawer already, you get a classic gimmick. If you've seen Osterlind's Bank Night routine on his DVDs, you know what it is. (Wink, wink) And they throw in a cute little notepad and a Sharpie marker, so you're ready to go. The only thing you need to supply yourself is a book for the book test. The props are great, and they all fit a cool zippered bag. Then again, I'd expect nothing less from the brilliant Alan Wong, who makes the best stuff around. Add Volpe and McCaig, and this trio gives you something that every mentalist can love. I'm carrying it everywhere. I think it's going in the glovebox of my car.

A lot of options but missing one thing Report this review

There are a lot of ways to go with this set. The props are good and will last you a while if you treat them right. You just need a paperback book for the word reveal.

The biggest problem with this is that it is made to take up a lot of pocket space. If this had been set up in a wallet (like they did with The Fox) you'd be able to do a lot with a little space. The holder it comes with is far too big to fit in anyone's pocket. You'll have to find some successful pocket management on your own for this.

For something marketed to be a 20-minute close-up mentalism act, it's far too scattered to be anything more than all you carry around with you for the night. While that might be enough for most folks, if you want variety with other possibilities for the night, look for a good wallet to hold most of this in.

The routines are good. Most are just variations on things most mentalists already do, but the props are sturdy. Just wish there was a better way to carry it all.
