MAGICIAN'S CHOICE
As far as I know, it was Gene Grant who first offered the
following solution to the psychological force in his Phantini series of
Phantini's
books. It appeared in his Mental Key and his Phantini
Revisited. You write your prediction and set it down on the table. In
this case we will use the psychological choice of any flower, which
turns out to be a "rose." Now you ask the spectator to name a
flower. Again it is important you do not give him or her a chance to
think. Pause after the question for a second, then
ask what the flower is. If they name the rose, then show your
prediction. If they do not, then don't panic. Write the name of the new
flower on a small piece of paper and roll it into a ball. Keep asking
them to name flowers until they name the rose, each time writing the
new flower on a new piece of paper and rolling it up into a ball. Have
them name at least one more after they name the rose. It won't take long
until they name a rose. If they don't name the rose after the third try,

Another way to get around the problem of the
spectator not selecting the Ace of Spades is the following:
Treat the face of the ace with magician's wax. Place it face
down upon the table. If they name the Ace of Spades, then turn
it over. If they don't, then go through the deck looking for their
card, bring it to the top of the deck, and lie. Tell the spectator
that you cannot find his card and would it not be amazing if

If your cohort were to use her toes, she could signal how the
shape you just named is attached to the other. Toe slightly straight up
will tell you the next shape is above the one you are naming. To the
left, the shape is to its left, to the right, the shape is to the right; and
straight-ahead the shape is inside it. You would always start from the
bottom of the drawing and work up. Of course, you could use any
method of signaling: the way her cigarette points, the way her eyes
look, her head is facing, and so on.
TAKING SHAPE
In his lecture notes, mentalist Christopher Chance states that
if you force a triangle and a square on someone then ask them to draw
a picture using the shapes they have selected, they will almost always
draw a house. If you ask them to fill in details, they will usually add a
chimney, windows, a path, and a tree.
WINDOW Chapter 11
We covered this earlier, but ask someone to imagine
they are looking out their window and they see two objects Subtle Watches
and they are to draw them. They will usually draw a tree and a
car. For aesthetic reasons, watch advertisements usually
have the watch hands set at ten minutes after ten or twenty
minutes after eight. Sometimes the hands are reversed so they
may read two fifty or four forty. Just in case, instead of
having the person on the phone think of the time, have them
think of where the hands are pointing. Tell them that you see a
hand pointing at the ten, and play it from there.

GELLER EFFECT
Uri Geller made a sensation in the U.S. by claiming he could
bend metal with his mind. At a radio station in Texas, Geller claimed
he could cause metal to bend in people's homes as he bent metal on the
radio. Sure enough, people called in. Trying the same thing on the
radio, I stated that "I do not have psychic powers', " yet
people still called in. My guess is that psychologically some
people wanted attention, so they called in claiming everything What could be more natural than people hearing
from metal bending to their car and watches starting. In some psychic thoughts on some strange level?
cases, I believe they actually believed that the metal had bent
or their watch started. They may not have noticed that the
metal was already bent. Often when one holds, shakes, or
winds an old stopped watch, the oils heat up, and it will start.
Geller claims that these people are demonstrating their own
powers. I am of the opinion this is not so, as there is no
scientific proof of the ability to bend metal in the first place.
FECHA DE NACIMIENTO
La forma más fácil de convencer a la audiencia que
cierta información no fue escrito es preguntar a una pregunta
del espectador. Digamos que acaba de dicho espectador la
mayor parte de la información que ha escrito (por ejemplo,
cuando se quiere ir de vacaciones). Decir "gracias", y el
público aplaudirá. El espectador se sentará automáticamente.
Ahora vamos a decir que el espectador tiene
