Product Description
Mind magic is a fun change to visual magic and has the advantage of being both easy to do and very versatile. You can easily make the word number, word or picture you are identifying in the trick relevant to your theme…whether it is a magic show, church outreach event or sermon.
One of the great advantages of mind magic is that many of these seemingly impossible tricks can be done with no prior preparation and all involve common household objects, a deck of cards, pen, paper, coins, matches, dice, keys etc.
For the beginner this is an excellent book, and a resource that you will return to again and again for ideas and inspiration. Author Karl Fulves provides easy illustrated instructions for 67 mental miracles. No special skills are necessary and no sleight of hand! Easy to follow step-by-step instructions, with illustrations, show you the secrets to sure-fire mental feats, including:
- mind reading with cards
- identifying the owners of objects given to you in random order
- number prediction
- magically reproduced drawings
- identify the word picked in a book
- handwriting tricks
- mind-reading done from the room next door
and much more.
An excellent book for the new magician, but with powerful effects that even professional magicians will appreciate.
Review: Mind magic is all in the performance. I've seen reviewers say that this book is not for professionals or advanced magicians. I disagree. Fulves provides a fabulous selection of simple methods, and presents them simply and basically. The complete novice will have fun presenting these effects as cute tricks for the office. The experienced performer will find gem after gem in these pages. They'll spin it into a context of their own, introduce drama and imagination, and completely SLAY with it. Never underestimate simplicity. It's presentation and persona that makes a mentalist! Peter - UK Professional Magician.

Performance Tips: Mind magic can be presented in a number of ways. For the Gospel Performer we suggest that you take the 'John Archer' approach and find the comedy and humour in it. Unless you are very very good don't try and present these mind tricks in a serious or pseudo-psychological manner like Derren Brown. And certainly never pass them off as real skills!! Mind magic is all about the performance.
