Ebook - Think Link by Ian Rowland
Description & Effect
Unlock the Power of Pure Mentalism with Think Link
Discover 'Think Link,' Ian Rowland's most ingenious creation for the mentalism community. Hailed as the most useful, versatile, and convincing effect he's ever invented, this groundbreaking ebook reveals a secret that transcends traditional magic. Imagine this: you present two blank business cards and a marker. You discreetly jot down a piece of information, perhaps a name, a number, or even a playing card. After a moment of captivating psychological play, your spectator, seemingly through pure intuition, writes their guess on the second card. The reveal is nothing short of miraculous – both cards match perfectly, leaving them utterly dumbfounded and with no rational explanation for their uncanny accuracy.
Effortless Deception, Unforgettable Impact
What sets 'Think Link' apart is its astonishing simplicity and profound impact. This isn't a trick laden with complex sleights, hidden gimmicks, or intricate forces. There are no switches, no ditching, no preshow work, and absolutely no ambiguity. All you need are two blank business cards and a common pen. The routine is designed to be completely clean and organic; at the end, the spectator can keep both cards as a tangible, impossible souvenir, with no hint of trickery involved. This makes 'Think Link' perfect for intimate, one-on-one close-up performances, though its adaptability allows it to be integrated into various settings.
Limitless Versatility for Any Situation
'Think Link' offers unparalleled flexibility in its presentation. Whether you choose to reveal that the spectator has read your mind, that you've peered into theirs, or that you've flawlessly predicted their thoughts, the core principle remains robust. The routine can be performed with virtually any small pieces of information that fit on a business card, from celebrity initials to two-digit numbers or even abbreviated playing cards. Once you truly master 'Think Link,' you acquire a lifelong skill. You'll carry with you the ability to perform a genuine mind-reading miracle at a moment's notice, always ready to astonish. Spectators rarely perceive 'Think Link' as a mere 'trick'; instead, they often believe they've witnessed something truly psychic, an experience they won't soon forget.

A Note For Non-Mentalists
I know a lot of people. If you are not a magician or mentalist but have somehow found this page, please don't bother buying this item just to find out 'the secret'. You won't get any value or use out of it whatsoever, I promise.
What Is Think Link?
Think Link is the best thing I've ever invented for all my friends in the mentalism community. As I say in the booklet, I don’t know of any more useful, more versatile or more convincing effect than this.
What's the effect? Well, here's one of several possible presentations. There are just four steps.
(1) You have two blank business cards and a marker pen. You write something on the first card, without letting the spectator see.
(2) You sign this 'prediction' and record the time for later reference.
(3) After a bit of preamble about 'psychic' ability, the spectator tries to guess what you wrote. Her guess is written on the second card.
(4) When she turns over both cards, she finds she was 100% correct. She has no idea how she got it right!
At the end, the spectator can keep the two cards and everything is exactly as it would be if there was no trickery involved.
This is just one possible routine. Basically, the premise can be (a) the spectator reads your mind, or (b) you read the spectator's mind, or (c) you predict the spectator's thoughts.
The routine can involve any small pieces of information that you can write on a business card, such as the initials of famous people and celebrities, or two-digit numbers, or even playing cards written in abbreviated form (e.g. 6D for the six of diamonds).
No sleights, no gimmicks, no forces, nothing to switch or ditch. No preshow, no ambiguity. You don't need anything except two blank cards and a pen.
You can adapt Think Link to any type of performance but it works best as an informal close-up item, performed one-on-one.
Once you have learned Think Link properly, you will know that, for the rest of your life, no matter who you meet, you will always be able to read their mind or have them read your mind. Many spectators don't react to Think Link as a 'trick' at all. They think it's real.
