Hoodwinkings by Mick Ayres is your gateway to mastering mindreading with a dazzling 30-minute parlor act that combines humor, mystery, and interactive audience participation. Perfect for both seasoned performers and magic enthusiasts, each routine is designed to captivate your audience and leave them in awe.
The act kicks off with a simple prop adjustment that cleverly ties into the grand finale, setting the stage for a series of mind-boggling card experiments. Using just a standard deck of cards, you’ll first predict the mixed order of a packet shuffled by a guest. Then, guide another guest as they demonstrate their own mental prowess by locating two selections from a shuffled pack. The audience will be entertained by a humorous yet insightful demonstration on the nuances of body language and the power of observation.
Each routine is crafted to seamlessly blend into the next, ensuring a smooth and engaging performance. You’ll need only a deck of cards, three envelopes, and three index cards. No sleight-of-hand or gimmicked props required—just your presence and flair to make this a showstopper.

Hoodwinkings offers several strong mindreading experiments woven together into a seamless, 30-minute parlor act full of humor, interaction and mystery.
The show begins with an innocent prop adjustment that later becomes part of this act’s surprising finale. In between, you demonstrate the potential of the mind using a household deck of cards for each experiment. First, a packet of cards is mixed by a guest…nonetheless, you have predicted its final order. Next, a guest discovers her own untapped mental abilities when she unerringly locates two selections from a shuffled pack. Now you share a bit of ‘inside information’ while the audience enjoys a humorous demonstration of body-language. Finally, the show closes as you accurately predict the random answers to several questions…and each question is twice as challenging as the one before!
Although each routine would stand easily on it’s own, together they create a powerful show that fits in one pocket. You supply a deck of cards, three envelopes and three index cards. No sleight-of-hand is involved. Nothing is gimmicked.
