Description & Effect
The Ultimate Prediction Mystery
Step into the realm of truly impossible mentalism with 'Messmerize' by Stefan Olschewski, a revolutionary digital download designed to leave audiences spellbound. Imagine a pristine wine glass resting center stage, holding a mysterious black envelope. Spectators are invited to concentrate intently, each secretly jotting down a unique thought onto a card, then sealing it within an opaque envelope. These personal thoughts are tossed onto the stage. A completely random spectator is chosen - absolutely no force involved - to select any one of these sealed envelopes. Let's say their chosen thought is 'ICECREAM'. They remove the prediction from the glass, open it, and read it aloud. To everyone's astonishment, it perfectly matches their freely selected thought! The miracle doesn't end there; a jaw-dropping double kicker provides a second, even more specific, impossible prediction that will astound.
Behind the Impossibility
Stefan Olschewski's genius lies in crafting an effect that is both incredibly baffling and remarkably clean. 'Messmerize' eliminates all the usual pitfalls of complex mentalism. You'll perform with absolute confidence: no hidden stooges, no secret assistants, and no pre-show work. The method avoids any fumbling, sleeving, or electronic gimmicks, ensuring a smooth and direct performance. Spectators truly write down any thought they wish, and all other envelopes contain different words, preserving the integrity of their choices. The power is amplified by having the spectator themselves open and read the prediction, reinforcing the impossible nature of the outcome. Both the prediction and its envelope are entirely unprepared.
Why Perform Messmerize?
This effect is praised by magic legends like Larry Becker and Peter Duffie for its cleverness, practicality, and powerful impact. It's a routine that provides a profound experience of predestined connection, leaving audiences questioning reality. The double prediction ensures an unforgettable, deeply personal, and truly miraculous event every time. Add a world-class, impossible mentalism piece to your repertoire with 'Messmerize'.

Mes(s)merize by Stefan Olschewski
An impossible prediction effect
A clear wine glass is seen on a table center stage, containing a black envelope with a prediction. The spectators are asked to concentrate on a single thought, write it down on a card and seal it in an opaque envelope. At your command, they all throw their envelopes onto the stage. A random spectator selects any one of the envelopes (again: NO force!). Let's assume the thought inside reads "ICECREAM". She removes the prediction from the glass and opens it. She reads the prediction out loud: it matches the freely selected thought!
Now for the FINAL kicker: The lady is asked to open up the crumpled paper ball that was used to randomly selected her as a volunteer. It reads: "Tonight, a beautiful lady called Annie will thing of ICECREAM!"
