Delve into Five Powerful Effects
Within this comprehensive offering, you'll discover detailed instructions for five distinct and compelling mentalism pieces:
- The Mystic Eye: A remarkable card prediction where a spectator freely mixes and turns numerical cards, unaware that you've already foreseen their total and the exact number of 'mystic eye' symbols showing. The choice is truly theirs, yet your revelation is spot on, creating an unforgettable experience of apparent mind-reading.
- The Alphabet Test: A direct and powerful letter prediction. The performer shows ten handwritten cards, each containing multiple letters. A spectator silently thinks of any letter, then indicates which cards contain it. Instantly, the mentalist names the thought-of letter with unnerving accuracy.
- Preference: Imagine predicting a spectator's mentally chosen playing card from a complete deck, including Jokers. With just a quick glance at two covered columns, you'll reveal their precise thought, leaving them utterly bewildered by your insight.
- Professor Andreens Marvelous Memory Stunt - 1913: This classic routine is resurrected, allowing the performer to demonstrate an apparently superhuman memory, effortlessly recalling vast sequences of numbers, hundreds of thousands strong. It's a testament to the power of hidden systems and clever presentation.
- The Mystic 48: A clean and direct number prediction effect. A spectator thinks of a number between 1 and 48, then uses three punched cards to discreetly indicate their choice. Upon receiving the final card, you flawlessly declare their secret number, creating a moment of pure astonishment.

Original Specs
Bill Montana – Almost Forgotten- Ideas for Mentalism 2
These treasures have been reworked to bring them into the 21st century! Included in this volume are the following effects:
The Mystic Eye
The performer displays a set of cards with numbers on them and also points out that some of the cards bear a symbol for the mystic eye. These cards are handed to a spectator for further examination and use in the experiment. The spectator is asked to mix up the cards… (turning any of them over at his/her discretion). The choice is entirely in the hands of the spectator. The performer turns around while this is being done and remains with back turned throughout the effect. Once the spectator is satisfied, the cards are laid upon the table. The side facing up is decided by the spectator. The cards are then spread out in a row. The performer says…"there is a least one mystic eye symbol face up on the table I see!" "Yes", the spectator says. The performer then asks how many mystic eyes are showing? After he/she answers, they are instructed to add the numbers on the cards together. Once this is done the performer asks if they have arrived at a number. Yes. The spectator is instructed to pick up all the cards, mix them, and place them into his/her pocket for safe keeping. The performer asks the spectator to think of their number. Then the performer reveals the correct number chosen by the spectator.
The Alphabet Test
The spectator is asked to think of any letter from the alphabet. Ten handwritten cards are shown to the audience. Upon each card is 15 or 16 letters. The spectator is asked to look at the cards one at a time and place the card face down on the table if it contains his or her thought of letter. As soon as the last card is laid upon the table, the mentalist names the thought of letter.
Preference
Two cards with a complete deck of playing cards -(including Jokers and Score Card)- are shown. A card is mentally selected and two strips are used to cover the two columns which contain the selected card. The performer takes a quick look and names the mentally selected card that was thought of by the spectator moments before.
Professor Andreens Marvelous Memory Stunt -1913 The performer has apparently memorized hundreds of numbers running into the hundred of thousands.
The Mystic 48
The spectator is to think of a number from 1 to 48. He or she is then handed the three punched cards and instructed to return them, one at a time, telling which section contains his number. Upon giving you the last card, you are able to tell them their number.
Included with Almost Forgotten: Ideas for Mentalism Number 2, is a supplemental pdf with printable files to assist you in making these effects for yourself.
