Colin Mcleod – Thief: Revolutionizing Mentalism with Seamless Billet Work
Discover the pinnacle of mentalism with Colin Mcleod’s Thief, a groundbreaking approach to billet work that redefines the art of mind reading. Inspired by Max Maven’s legendary Desire, this routine takes simplicity and clarity to new heights, offering a flawless demonstration of mentalism that feels truly magical.
Why Thief Stands Out
For years, the original Desire routine was a staple in mentalism performances. However, one persistent challenge remained: the need to hold billets throughout the demonstration. Thief solves this problem effortlessly. With Colin’s innovative handling, the props remain borrowed—just four cards and four pens—while the performer’s hands stay free, creating a truly hands-off experience.
What You’ll Learn
- A seamless, hands-off demonstration of pure mind reading.
- How to have the participant mix the billets and hand you the top one, ensuring maximum fairness and impact.
- Advanced techniques to make billets psychologically invisible, inspired by Ran Pink’s T-Rex tear.
- Practical insights into billet work that you can apply to any routine, enhancing your confidence and performance.
The Essence of Mentalism
Billet work is the cornerstone of mentalism, and mastering it is essential for creating deceptive and innocent performances. With Thief, Colin Mcleod shares his expertise from years of real-world experience, empowering you to deliver bold, direct, and unforgettable mentalism routines.
Note: While Thief doesn’t teach T-Rex directly, it provides the psychology and techniques to elevate any billet moves you already use.
Hands down, the single greatest creation in all of mentalism is, without question, ‘Desire’ by Max Maven.
It’s simplicity and clarity is the perfect demonstration of how mind reading should feel.
I used the original routine for years, however the only thing I could never get to grips with, the one tiny part I could never get comfortable with, was the necessity to hold the billets throughout the demonstration.
My handling solves that problem instantly.
The props can still all be borrowed. Four cards and four pens. Done.
What you’re going to learn is a seemingly hands-off demonstration of pure mind reading.
In fact, after they’ve been mixed thoroughly, you have the person mixing them lay them on the table and THEY hand you the top billet to begin. What follows solves every challenge I faced with the original.
Not only will you learn my handling for this routine, you’ll also gain a high-level understanding of how I utilise billets in the real world to ensure they become psychologically invisible using Ran Pink’s impeccable ‘T-Rex’ tear as my example*.
I like to ensure the only thing which remains is the experience of mind to mind communication.
Billet work is the cornerstone of Mentalism and using them effectively and correctly is pivotal to their innocence and deceptiveness. I want to share my experience from the trenches to build your confidence with these often bold and direct techniques to ensure you gain the maximum impact from them within your own performances.
*Whilst I don’t teach T-Rex, I teach the psychology and thinking that you can immediately apply to any billet moves you are already performing.
