Ebook - Thought Association Card by Stephen A. Yachanin (Digital Download)

Prepare to stun your audience with Stephen A. Yachanin's 'Thought Association Card,' a profound mentalism effect that will leave spectators convinced you've genuinely peered into their minds. Imagine presenting two volunteers with a card featuring eighty unique words. Each volunteer freely selects a word, then embarks on a multi-stage mental journey: they silently spell their chosen word, pick a letter, then think of a *new* word starting with that letter. This intricate process repeats twice more, creating layers of mental obscurity that make it absolutely impossible for anyone, even the volunteers themselves, to predict the final thought.

The magic culminates when, after this complex mental journey, you ask the volunteers to concentrate on their final, privately chosen words. With an air of conviction, you calmly jot your 'impressions' on the back of your business card. Only once your card is face down on the table do you instruct them to announce their words. The reveal is breathtaking: the words you wrote perfectly match their selections! Your audience will be left speechless, convinced they've witnessed true mind-reading.

A Masterclass in Deception & Convenience

This digital ebook unlocks a routine celebrated for its sheer brilliance and astonishing cleanliness. There's nothing to write down during the performance, no subtle 'fishing' for information, no tricky switches, and no secret writing involved. It's pure, direct mentalism that happens entirely in the minds of your volunteers. Designed to be pocket-sized, this powerful effect fits seamlessly into your everyday carry, ensuring you're always prepared to deliver an impromptu miracle. Esteemed mentalists have hailed its ingenious construction and the profound impact it has on audiences, describing it as 'pure genius' and 'the best pocket trick in years.' Its 'terrifying beauty' lies in its deceptive simplicity and the impossibility of its outcome.

An Important Consideration

Please note: The 'Thought Association Card' effect relies heavily on language association and is therefore specifically designed for English-speaking volunteers. This ensures the integrity and impact of the performance. This digital download provides everything you need to master this incredible piece of mentalism.

Original Specs

“Impossible? Your audience will think so…”™

Two volunteers are handed a card containing 80 words (no repeats). Each volunteer is asked to mentally select a word (free choice). The volunteers mentally spell their words as you attempt to sense any reactions they have to the letters. Silently focusing on one of the letters, each volunteer is asked to think of a new word beginning with that letter. This process is repeated two more times, making it impossible for anyone to have any idea of the final words in the minds of the volunteers.

You ask the volunteers to concentrate on their final word selections as you write your impressions on the back of your business card. Only after you have placed the business card on the table do you instruct the volunteers to announce the words they have in their minds and have one of them turn over the business card. The words on the business card match the volunteers’ words!
