The magician explains that he has made a prediction of an event yet to happen. He shows an envelope containing this prediction. Any spectator from the audience is invited to deal through a deck of cards face up, one at a time. The spectator may stop dealing at any time, or change his mind and continue dealing.
When the person is satisfied that he has randomly selected a card, the envelope is immediately opened to reveal a single card to be the matching card! Totally self-contained; has about a two minute learning time.

Beyond Mentalism by Radek Hoffman video DOWNLOAD

 

Now available at www.magiciansmagicshop.com

Most mentalism lectures tend to get bogged down in abstract concepts, heavy theory, or repetitive "thought reveals." Beyond Mentalism by Radek Hoffman is the exact opposite. Filmed and produced in high definition by Thomas (founder of the leading French magic platform Virtual Magie), this premium project delivers a masterclass in practical, hard-hitting, and highly visual modern mentalism. Radek Hoffman-an established creator with a proven track record of successful books and effects in the Murphy's catalog-brings you his actual worker repertoire. These are not theoretical ideas; every single routine has been field-tested in real-world conditions, streamlined, and optimized for maximum psychological and visual impact. What makes this lecture different? Radek completely rethinks the art of the revelation. Instead of predictable, standard reveals, he shares innovative principles and staging techniques to turn classic effects into unforgettable, visual experiences. If you want to stop just doing "tricks" and start creating core memories for your audience, this project is your new secret weapon. Featured Routines: IMAGINATION TEST (Drawing Divination): The spectator thinks of a random object and chooses to draw it from a sketchbook. Through a dynamic process of genuine mind-reading, the performer creates an exact duplicate of this image on his own notepad. But Radek doesn't stop there: as a stunning visual kicker, the crumpled piece of drawing paper suddenly illuminates right before being thrown into the audience. A classic revisited with a shocking and memorable climax. Perfect as an opener: direct, fast, and highly surprising. MANIPULATION (Book Test meets Chair Test): A bold and fascinating hybrid between a Book Test and a Chair Test. The spectator makes a series of completely free decisions... which lead to an impossible prediction. This routine is ultra-engaging, uses an incredibly ingenious method, and features a brilliant, unexpected double-climax. Ideal for both parlor and stage performances. CRIME SCENE (The Murder Mystery): Based on the classic Murder Party concept, the mentalist invites members of the audience to step into the roles of a victim, a witness, and a murderer. Every single choice happens while the mentalist is completely away, ensuring they have absolutely zero knowledge of the roles. Remarkably, this routine requires no envelopes, no marked cards, and no technology. The revolutionary, completely new method allows you to instantly determine who is who, the exact location of the crime, the precise time, and the weapon used-building incredible dramatic tension. ULTIMATE CARD CALLING (The Thought-of Card Revelation): A devastating version of the classic Card Calling routine. The spectator freely selects several cards and shuffles them. Without any memory work, switches, or marked cards, you reveal every single card they are thinking of, one by one. This is extremely easy to perform but creates an ultra-convincing illusion of pure, unrestricted thought reading. BONUS - THE WORKER (Multi-Phase Routine): A powerhouse multi-phase routine performed with a borrowed, shuffled deck of cards. It is packed with constant surprises and final kickers. This is a complete psychological experience designed specifically for real-world conditions-a true "worker" that you will want to integrate into your repertoire immediately. Praise from the Pros: "If you're looking for visual, interesting reveals, and mentalism this is definitely the video for you. It is full of very practical, very well-thought-out routines and it's definitely recommended."

• MARC PAUL

"I recommend this lecture. It's filled with ideas, thoughts, and insights to make your mentalism visual. It really focuses on the audience's perception-images that will remain in their minds for ages."

• GABRIEL WERLEN

"His ideas feel fresh, practical and very well thought out. There's a lot of value in this lecture, both in the routines themselves and in the thinking behind them. A wonderful lecture by a clever and very creative mind."

Soft Coke

 Now available at www.magiciansmagicshop.com 

This is a very realistic soft Silicon Rubber Coke Bottle that can be compressed, making it an ideal prop for Production or Vanish. The silicon rubber is much more resistant to temperature changes and humidity compared to normal Latex Rubber. With a little care the bottle will give you many many years of use.
The bottle can be compressed into a very small space for use as a production item. You could fit several of these into a large Ghost Tube, Mirror Box, Square Circle Production, or similar production prop. You can also produce a bottle “bare hand” from under a silk.
Besides use as a production from a prop, here are some other uses for this bottle.
Vanish : Place the bottle in a Grocery Bag, then crush the bag and toss it aside. The bottle has “really gone”.
A transformation : Transform the bottle into a glass of wine …
Bare Hand Production : You can remove a silk from your pocket, with the bottle palmed in the hand holding the silk. Lift up the centre of the silk, allowing the bottle to spring up under this, then remove the silk to display the bottle.
Play around with the bottle and you will find many novel uses for presenting this. We supply you an instruction sheet with full details for performing the above effects.
