The Journey Through the Mind: What You'll Learn

Your journey begins subtly, with an innocent prop adjustment that cleverly evolves into a surprising element of the act's grand finale. At its core, 'Hoodwinkings' leverages the everyday magic of a household deck of cards to demonstrate extraordinary mental prowess. Witness as you predict the seemingly random order of a guest-shuffled card packet, then empower another spectator to unerringly locate selections from a thoroughly mixed deck – revealing their own untapped psychic potential. Engage the room with a humorous segment on body language, sharing a bit of 'inside information' that adds a delightful interactive layer. The act culminates in a series of increasingly challenging predictions, where you accurately foresee the answers to multiple, diverse questions, leaving your audience spellbound and questioning reality.

Original Specs

• Hoodwinkings offers several strong mindreading experiments woven together into a seamless, 30-minute parlor act full of humor, interaction and mystery.

  The show begins with an innocent prop adjustment that later becomes part of this act’s surprising finale.  In between, you demonstrate the potential of the mind using a household deck of cards for each experiment.  First, a packet of cards is mixed by a guest…nonetheless, you have predicted its final order.  Next, a guest discovers her own untapped mental abilities when she unerringly locates two selections from a shuffled pack.  Now you share a bit of ‘inside information’ while the audience enjoys a humorous demonstration of body-language.  Finally, the show closes as you accurately predict the random answers to several questions…and each question is twice as challenging as the one before!

  Although each routine would stand easily on it’s own, together they create a powerful show that fits in one pocket.  You supply a deck of cards, three envelopes and three index cards.  No sleight-of-hand is involved.  Nothing is gimmicked.

• “Mick’s [Act series] is a true masterclass on bringing the audience into your world…and keeping them there as you seamlessly progress from one routine to the next. It is fresh, entertaining, and real…not to mention polished and refined in thousands and thousands of performances. No pipe dreams, no theoretical pieces, it is all real worker material, refined and scripted to a Zen-like perfection.”
