Unveiling 'Magic Video - Clairvoyant Mental Topper' by Justin Higham
Step into the intriguing world of advanced card mentalism with Justin Higham's 'Clairvoyant Mental Topper.' This groundbreaking digital download redefines the classic 'Think-a-Card' effect, building upon the legacy of Bob Hummer's 'Mind-Reader's Dream.' Hummer's original concept, which allowed a magician to discover a merely thought-of card without a single question, was revolutionary in the early 1950s. However, its complex dealing procedures and reliance on a book of tables proved a significant hurdle for many.
The Evolution of Effortless Mentalism
In the early 1990s, Justin Higham pioneered a method that dramatically simplified Hummer's effect, eliminating the cumbersome dealing and the need for external tables. This pivotal contribution forms the foundation of this comprehensive study, diving deep into 'Clairvoyant' and a myriad of related effects. You'll also delve into Marlo's seminal 'Mental Topper,' an astounding routine where not only is a thought-of card produced, but its three 'mates' magically appear alongside it.

This extensive digital guide, spanning 48 pages, offers unparalleled depth. It meticulously explores over 40 variations of 'Clairvoyant,' 'Mental Topper,' and 'The Mind-Reader's Dream,' ensuring you have a diverse arsenal of effects at your fingertips. From 'Simple Clairvoyant Plus Morse Code' to 'Ultimate Clairvoyant Detection,' each routine is designed to mystify and astound your audience. Beyond the mental feats, you'll also learn an easy-to-master, in-the-hands False Dovetail (Riffle) Shuffle, a crucial technique for seamless and deceptive card handling within these effects.

Original Specs
Clairvoyant Mental Topper by Justin Higham
In the early 1950s, Bob Hummer caused a stir with his rendition of 'Think-a-Card' called 'Mind-Reader's Dream', in which a card merely thought of was discovered without any questions asked. It's drawback – a fairly complex dealing procedure and a book of tables consulted by the magician – inspired many card magicians to seek streamlined methods.
In the early 90s Justin Higham published a method for the Hummer effect in which the dealing procedure was greatly simiplified and the book of tables eliminated. This provides the basis for this new study of 'Clairvoyant' and related effects, including Marlo's seminal 'Mental Topper': an effect where not only is a thought-of card produced, but also its three 'mates'.
48 pages, over 40 variations on 'Clairvoyant', 'Mental Topper' and 'The Mind-Reader's Dream', plus an easy in-the-hands False Dovetail (Riffle) Shuffle for use in these effects. A5 printed booklet, saddle-stitched with card covers.
