This comprehensive digital download teaches you how to leverage analytical reasoning and astute observation to create astonishing routines that seem truly miraculous. Forget bulky props and complicated setups – this work focuses on developing your inherent abilities to perform mind-bending feats anywhere, anytime.
The Power of Prop-Free Mentalism
At its core, Sherlockian champions the idea of mentalism stripped down to its most impactful form. You'll explore methods for developing direct mental routines that can be conjured almost on the spot, relying solely on your intellect and perception. This isn't about memorizing complex sequences; it's about understanding human behavior and drawing accurate deductions, allowing you to perform incredible mind reading and predictions without a single gadget.
Mastering Memory for Performers
Beyond prop-free routines, Ben Cardall delves into the crucial role of memory in elevating your act. Learn how improving your memory can revolutionize your performances, reducing the need for pocket space and eliminating reliance on items like stacked decks. The work also introduces the concept and creation of a 'memory palace' – an invaluable tool for any mentalist looking to enhance their mental acuity and routine recall, even enabling you to perform captivating memory routines themselves.
Signature Routines and Observation Skills
Included in this insightful guide are Ben Cardall's original 'SHERLOCKIAN' routine, which ingeniously uses just one theatrical prop for a compelling premise, and his in-depth work on the '3 Truths and a Lie' game. This game teaches you to hone your ability to spot fibs in real-time, providing detailed insights into what to look for and why. This section alone is a masterclass in body language and subtle tells, transforming you into a perceptive observer.
Cultivate a Deductionist Mindset
This isn't just a collection of tricks; it's an invitation to adopt a whole new mindset. Inspired by legendary deductionists, Sherlockian empowers you to view the world with heightened awareness, allowing you to pick apart seemingly insignificant details to reveal profound truths. Experienced performers praise Ben's work for its practicality and its ability to refresh and integrate seamlessly into existing acts, offering a genuinely unique perspective on mental performance.

This booklet is almost entirely devoted to the idea of prop free mentalism through analytical reasoning and observation. Discussed within is how to develop powerful prop free direct mental routines that you can come up with almost on the spot. Also discussed is ideas on how developing your memory could help to improve your routines and your act in general through less pocket space, you’ll never need another stacked deck and actually performing memory routines themselves, and also why the creation of a memory palace is a good idea for any mentalist to consider.
As well as all this i have included my original SHERLOCKIAN routine that granted does use 1 prop but it is just for a cool theatrical premise. As well as my work on the 3 truths and a lie game that uses nothing but your ability to spot the fibber’s in the room. Included is what to look out for and why, which could have taken a booklet to itself as it is something of a passion of mine.
review in from irish vagabond entertainer of liamoneilentertainment.com
'You know the kind of routine you read and half way through you have to leave the house to find some unsuspecting person to try it out on, well that’s what you get with SHERLOCKIAN. The routines are very good and explained in great detail; you can tell that Ben has put a lot of hard work into each step but it’s the subtleties of the body language and the idea of just paying more attention whichmake a good read a great one.
As I read each step I start to think of ways that I could use these techniques to freshen up some of my own performances, as well as how these routines could fit into what I already perform.
After you have read through the works of Ben you will findyourself too entering into the mind set of Sherlock Holmeshimself or even Jason Bourne, as you pick apart every personyou meet.
A great read and a very interesting look at prop free mentalist, if you perform any mind or body reading this is a must have as it is full of useful information tried and fieldtested by a great performer and a genuinely nice guy.'

Snippet from Atlas Brookings review on ementalism :
"Have you ever played a game where you look at something or someone, and then look away and try to answer questions about the scene that you so avidly studied?
So why do I bring this up? Why should you care?
The simple answer is because real deductions can be made – ACCURATELY – by observation of the world around you. The trick is to know what to look for.
I recently read a few books by Ben Cardall.
In the field of Mentalism, he is, in my opinion, at the forefront of the deductionist subculture. He is one of a small group who are not satisfied to simply make their
