Astro Gems by Ferry Gerats
Unveil the mysteries of the zodiac with Astro Gems, an innovative take on Ray Grismer’s “What’s My Sign?” Crafted by Ferry Gerats, this mentalism masterpiece allows you to reveal a participant’s zodiac sign without ever meeting them. Astro Gems combines astrological insight with the art of mentalism, creating a performance that is both mystifying and engaging.
How It Works
Participants are presented with a chart showcasing all zodiac signs and their corresponding gemstones. As they focus on their gemstone’s name, you, the performer, begin revealing letters associated with their sign, culminating in the ultimate reveal of their zodiac identity.
Unlike traditional methods that rely on the branching anagram principle, which can sometimes lead to guessing games, Astro Gems ensures a seamless and error-free performance. This method guarantees that each reveal is precise and leaves your audience in awe.
Key Features
- Up to Six Statements: Confidently determine a participant’s zodiac sign with a maximum of six statements.
- Progressive Anagram Principle: Even when a participant initially denies a letter’s presence, the performance turns this into a definitive yes, enhancing the intrigue and mystery of the reveal.
- Minimal Memory Work: With only two strings of letters (amtog and erinc) to remember, 95% of the memory work is already done for you.
- No Spelling Errors: Astro Gems eliminates mistakes even if the participant doesn’t know how to spell their zodiac sign correctly.
- Comedy Presentation Included: Delight your audience with an included comedy presentation, featuring a joke about an astrologer that’s sure to get laughs.

Ferry Gerats – Astro Gems
A version of Ray Grismer’s “What’s my sign”.
Effect: You reveal the zodiac-sign of someone you never met.
This is what happens:
A participant is handed a chart with all the zodiac signs and the gemstones which on the basis of astrology are allocated to these signs. While the participant focuses on the name of the gemstone of his sign, the mentalist first discloses some letters of that name and then reveals his zodiac sign.
How?
The original uses the branching anagram principle. Since the names of zodiac signs aren’t really suited for that principle the performance can result in an obvious guessing game. The design of Astro Gems eliminates that risk, so now you can be certain of success presenting this wonderful feat.
Astro Gems also has the following advantages:
-
The maximum number of statements to secretly determine the sign is six.
-
Inherent to the progressive-anagram principle there will very likely be a moment you get a No for an answer. However you don’t accept the denial. You are sure that the letter is there! And yes, it turns out that the thoughts of the participant must have gone astray to the letters of the zodiac sign as the letter is indeed in the name of his sign. After having turned the denial into a definite Yes, you can immediately reveal the zodiac sign.
-
Almost no memory work! Remembering the two strings of letters: amtog and erinc, is 95% of the memory work you have to do.
-
No mistakes when the participant doesn’t know the spelling of his sign.
-
There is a comedy presentation included with a wonderful joke about an astrologer. For a professional just the joke is worth the price of Astro Gems!
