Mike Ince – Better Returns
This collection of effects and ideas showcases some of my audience`s favorite creations, several of which would not have seen the light of day without collaboration and encouragement from friends like Sean Waters and Patrick O`Gorman (henceforth known as the ever-elusive Underground Kid) . Two or three get a better return on their investment, hence, the name “Better Returns”. As in other arenas of life when it comes to mentalism two heads are better than one (unless they`re attached to the same neck, which makes audiences uncertain which one to look at).
In these pages you`ll find parlor and stage routines like “Einstein In My Pocket”, “Apophenial Square”, “Between Strangers” and “Six Degrees”. There are also playful close-up effects with fortune cookies, playing cards, a simple peek for use with an ungaffed hip pocket wallet, plus presentational ideas to feed your imagination as you build your own routines. You`ll also find tips to make some of your favorite effects such as Osterlind`s “ODDS” and Steve Thompson`s “Glance” play even stronger (you`ll need to own those items to get the most out of my writing).

The DWRNAP Peek
Effect:Someone writes on your business card and, holding it writing-side down, you replace it into your wallet By the time you`ve replaced your wallet into your inner breast pocket you know what they`ve written and can use the information. however you like. The wallet is legitimate and ungaffed.
Einstein in My Pocket
Effect:
The right audience experiences a fun, lively (if not slightly inappropriate) performance of Al Koran`s “The Trick That Fooled Einstein” which concludes with a twist of telepathy. If you find it too bold to perform you`ll still enjoy reading about it.
Changing the ODDS
“Yes, Mike … that is very, very good That adds a lot to the effect and makes it look that much more impossible..” –Richard Osterlind
Thoughts on using the “invisible compromise” of “DR” to make Osterlind`s drawing duplication effect seem even more unlikely. (Osterlind`s secrets will not be divulged so you`ll need to own ODDS to benefit the most from this item). My thanks go to Mr. O.
Between Strangers
Effect:
“Between Strangers” is a dual drawing-duplication between two audience members who read one another`s minds This is my handling of a ploy that dates back to vaudeville yet has seen sparse publi
