Password Protected By Bryan Miles

Index cards regarding various passwords used by students in universities are handed to a volunteer. The volunteer thinks of one of the passwords and keeps all the index cards with their password on.
Nothing is written down. Your back is turned during this process.
You instruct them to visualize their secret password in their mind. Through what appears to be contact mind reading, you are able to steal the password from their mind!

This is a direct effect, with a simple method and strong premise. Ideal for any beginner or regular performer. Easily adaptable for other contexts and presentations.

Anagnorasis by Patrick Redford

“SO STRONG!!!” –John Carey

“A jaw-dropping kicker ending.” –Shaun Dunn

What starts out as a psychic demonstration ends with a standing ovation…

1. You show your spectator that you can recognize when they’re thinking of a particular card.

2. Next you try to “train” them on how to do it too.

3. What happens next blows everyone away. Not only did they perfectly guess when you picked the joker… they perfectly picked EVERY SINGLE CARD you picked since the beginning of the trick!!!

This trick creates a full 3 phase experience for audiences, and just builds and builds. The kicker ending will NEVER fail to get gasps. It’s that good.

Mute by Ryan Stock

This trick FOOLED ME FIVE TIMES IN A ROW. That doesn’t happen a lot, but I’m man enough to admit it.

MUTE was the actually first trick that Ryan ever showed me. I was CLUELESS. And since that time…the trick has grown more and more
deceptive.

Here’s how it looks:

Your friend walks out of the room. Somebody picks a card and puts it back in the deck. It really goes in the middle, and the cards really go in the box. Then your friend walks back into the room…and she INSTANTLY knows what the card was picked.

YOU DON’T SAY ANYTHING. (Hence the trick’s title: Mute.) In the past, tricks like this were accomplished by complex verbal coding, but with MUTE, you say NOTHING. You don’t have to hold your body in a certain position. No hand signals, either. No palming or indexing or fancy sleight-of-hand. Nothing like that.

Effect: A volunteer holds your wrist and takes your pulse. They feel your heart beating a steady rhythm and you ask them to count along with it. You close your eyes and take a deep breath. Your volunteer feels your pulse gradually slow down and completely stop. Nothing. After a few deep breaths your heart starts beating again and they feel your pulse gradually return.

Control is entirely safe and requires no gimmicks. Nothing is placed under your arm and the effect may be performed at any time.

The Note by Docc Hilford

Shocking, amazing, impossible to them. And, oh, so satisfying for you.

This will drive people insane! So fair, but it really makes no sense how it works. Especially when they think about what just happened. Actually, the more they think about it, the more they’re fooled!

Docc said it best: The beauty of this particular trick is that you don’t even need to understand how it works to perform it like a pro. It’s the ultimate party mind-reading trick because you can quickly gather people, a few items, and perform an effect that has built-in drama and suspense. And, you can predict ANY outcome. The Note is impromptu, it demonstrates an awesome power, and it plays huge.

Impromptu after one-time setup.
Fools everyone.
Customizable.
Easy enough that you can really focus on your presentation.
Fun to do.
And a great way to engage a small group.
