Unleash Pure Mentalism with 'One Night Stand'

For decades, 'One Night Stand' has been a closely guarded secret, a favorite walk-around mental effect of the legendary Kenton Knepper. Now, for the first time, this astonishing routine is available as a comprehensive digital download. Imagine performing a miracle that leaves your audience utterly speechless, convincing them you possess genuine psychic abilities. This isn't just a trick; it's a profound experience designed to shatter belief and ignite wonder, perfected over years of real-world performance.

The Astonishing Effect

Here's the scenario: You introduce a small, common magnetic pocket phone number book, about the size of a business card. Spectators can freely examine its pages, confirming all names and numbers are genuinely different. A participant holds the book, opening it to any page. They see two distinct names and numbers, and merely think of one – no verbal clues, no indications. In an instant, you begin to call out the area code, the full number, and even the initials of the person associated with their thought! But the magic doesn't stop there. With a teasing smile, you reveal, 'Most people think this is a trick... but I wrote that very number down a long time ago.' To their utter disbelief, a prediction – previously in full view on the back of a photo, a napkin, or another business card – perfectly matches the spectator's secretly thought-of phone number and initials. It's a double whammy of mental power!

Effortless Execution, Maximum Impact

'One Night Stand' eliminates the complexity typically associated with high-impact mentalism. This ingenious system requires absolutely no memory work, no laborious pumping, and at most, one 'miss' before 100% accuracy is achieved – without relying on multiple outs. There are no impression devices, no sleights, and no on-the-spot writing. The prediction paper used is the only one, ensuring a clean and direct reveal. You can even carry and use the magnetic address/phone book as your actual, everyday pocket phone book, adding to its deceptive nature. This routine is a genuine pocket miracle, equally potent for intimate close-up settings or captivating stage performances. The digital download includes complete instructions and the specially designed address/phone book cover (you'll supply your own handwriting and numbers) along with Kenton's insightful 'Trance Illusion' notes, providing a deeper understanding of the psychological nuances at play. Master a classic, fool-proof piece of mentalism today!

This has been one of Kenton Knepper's favorite walk-around mental effects since the 1980s and now he's tipping his hand for the first time. Effect： The performer opens a common magnetic pocket phone number book， about the size of a business card. The pages of the book are shown all around and on all sides and the spectators verify that the numbers and names in the book are all different. A participant opens the book to any page while holding the book in her own hands. She sees two different names and numbers on her chosen pages. The participant simply thinks of one of these secret phone numbers， and the performer immediately begins to call out the area code， and the full number the participant has chosen! He even gives the initials of the person to whom the number belongs! But that's not all-the performer mentions that most people think this must be some sort of trick. "Would you like to see the trick?" the performer teases. "It's simple really. You see， I wrote that very number down a long time ago." Sure enough， the initials and phone number only thought-of by the spectator have been predicted on the back of a photo， a napkin， another business card - you name it. The prediction was in full view before the address book is ever introduced. No memory needed. No pumping-one "miss" at most， and then all is 100% correct. No multiple outs. The paper with the prediction is the only one used. No impression devices. You may carry and use the magnetic address/phone book as your actual pocket phone book. No sleights. No nail or other on-the-spot writing. Comes complete with instructions and the address/phone book， with the cover as designed by Kenton. You supply your own handwriting and phone numbers. A miracle in your pocket which can be performed close-up or on stage. Complete with "Trance Illusion" notes and cover.
