Description & Effect
The Quest for Unbreakable Mentalism
For too long, some of the most lauded mentalism effects, like Deddy Corbuzier's 'Free Will,' have faced a growing challenge. While brilliant in concept, many iterations have, over time, become vulnerable to the sharp eyes of a curious spectator. As an expert, you've likely experienced a moment when an audience member, even if they only grasp a fraction of the method, can unravel the entire illusion for themselves and others. This vulnerability prompted Joe Diamond to embark on an exhaustive journey, testing every known version, including modern adaptations like Colin McLeod's from his acclaimed book 'Divine.'
Introducing EndGame: A New Standard of Deception
Driven by a desire for a truly impenetrable effect, Joe Diamond explored every avenue, even venturing into electronic methods. While approaches like ProMystic's 'Color Match' offer intriguing possibilities when used as a force, Joe sought a solution that stood apart from reliance on technology. The result is 'EndGame,' an groundbreaking ebook that redefines what's possible in impromptu mentalism. This isn't just another variation; it's a meticulously crafted system designed to eliminate common weaknesses and elevate your performance to new heights.
Why EndGame Stands Out
'EndGame' offers a refreshingly pure form of mentalism. Imagine performing an impossible prediction without the need for electronics, cumbersome multiple outs, or any pre-show work. With 'EndGame,' the spectator not only chooses freely but can also retain the physical prediction as an unforgettable souvenir. This powerful, organic approach has consistently baffled seasoned magicians and discerning mentalists alike, proving its resilience even under repeat viewings. What's more, the entire effect is completely impromptu, meaning you're always ready to deliver a miracle. Joe Diamond begins by providing a full, detailed performance script, allowing you to absorb the impact of the routine before delving into the ingenious, no-gimmick explanation that underpins this modern classic.
Original Specs
There are few modern classics of mentalism. One of them HAS to be Deddy Corbuzier's "Free Will" which has be re-invented, shifted, changed, and altered seemingly endless times. My favorite in recent years has been Colin McLeod's in his wonderful book Divine.
I've tested every version out there, and honestly, almost every version has been picked apart and reverse engineered by a spectator at some point. Sure, they usually only got one part of the method when they did this in front of me, but that's enough for 98% of the population who watches mentalism.
I then started looking at electronic methods, even though I'm not a fan of electronics in mentalism. However, I am willing to explore every option for the clearest, most deceptive effect. I realized I had seen many people use ProMystic's "Color Match" as a force rather than a divination of what color the spectator chose, and this disconnect got me thinking. I got to a point that uses no electronics, no multiple outs, and the spectator can keep the prediction. I've fooled many magicians and mentalists with it, and I've found it even holds up to multiple viewings. Plus, it can be done completely impromptu. I'll start with the full performance script, and let you ponder it before reading the explanation
