Unveiling 'Astro Gems': The Ultimate Zodiac Revelation
Step into the captivating world of mentalism with Ferry Gerats' 'Astro Gems', a groundbreaking digital download designed to empower you to perform an astonishing zodiac sign revelation. Inspired by Ray Grismer's classic 'What's my sign', 'Astro Gems' takes this powerful effect to unprecedented levels of sophistication and reliability, ensuring you'll leave your audience genuinely bewildered and amazed. This isn't just another trick; it's a meticulously crafted system that transforms a challenging mental feat into an accessible and certain success.
The Astonishing Effect
Imagine this: You approach someone you've never met, asking them to participate in a profound experiment. You hand them a beautifully designed chart displaying all twelve zodiac signs alongside their unique, astrologically-assigned gemstones. With no verbal cues, no fishing, and no prior information, your participant silently focuses on the name of the gemstone associated with their birth sign. Through your intuitive powers, you begin to reveal letters from their chosen gemstone's name, one by one, before culminating in the breathtaking declaration of their exact zodiac sign. The moment of revelation is personal, impactful, and utterly inexplicable, forging an unforgettable connection with your audience.
Ingenuity Behind the Illusion
The brilliance of 'Astro Gems' lies in its innovative solution to a common pitfall in mentalism. While earlier versions of this effect often relied on the 'branching anagram' principle, zodiac sign names don't always lend themselves well to this method, sometimes leading to an awkward, almost obvious guessing game. Ferry Gerats has ingeniously redesigned the underlying mechanics of 'Astro Gems', completely eliminating this risk. The system is so robust and well-conceived that you can approach every performance with absolute confidence, knowing that success is guaranteed. As Patrick Schlagel, an authority on progressive anagrams and author of 'Mnemosign', eloquently states, 'Astro Gems is based on a very clever idea and well thought out.'

Original Specs
A version of Ray Grismer's "What's my sign".
Effect: You reveal the zodiac-sign of someone you never met.
This is what happens:
A participant is handed a chart with all the zodiac signs and the gemstones which on the basis of astrology are allocated to these signs. While the participant focuses on the name of the gemstone of his sign, the mentalist first discloses some letters of that name and then reveals his zodiac sign.
How?
The original uses the branching anagram principle. Since the names of zodiac signs aren't really suited for that principle the performance can result in an obvious guessing game. The design of Astro Gems eliminates that risk, so now you can be certain of success presenting this wonderful feat.
Astro Gems also has the following advantages:
