Effect
Witness the impossible with SIRIously Mental by Michael Pilkey. In this astonishing mentalism effect, a spectator, let’s call them Adam, thinks of a song and commits it to memory. You then bring out your phone and ask Adam to mentally sing the song in their head. With a simple command, you activate Siri and ask her to play the song Adam is thinking of. To everyone’s amazement, Siri begins to play “Happy” by Pharrell Williams. This seamless interaction between technology and mentalism will leave your audience questioning the boundaries of reality.
History of the Effect
Michael Pilkey first introduced the basic concept of SIRIously Mental in the Facebook group Svenpad supreme owners group in early 2017. The idea was simple yet revolutionary: saying to Siri, “play the song they are thinking of,” and having Siri respond by playing the exact song. The concept quickly gained traction and was later published in the September 2017 Issue of Genii magazine under Jeff Prace’s column “left handed.”
Through collaboration with Jeff Prace, the effect evolved into something even more extraordinary. One of the key enhancements was the ability to personalize the command. Instead of using a generic phrase, you can now say, “play the song Samantha is thinking of,” adding a layer of personalization that enhances the impact of the effect. Jeff also contributed the brilliant idea of having Siri initially play the wrong song, only to correct herself and play the right one. This added twist elevates the effect to a whole new level of astonishment.
Now, with this rich history and innovative improvements, SIRIously Mental stands as a cutting-edge mentalism effect that seamlessly blends technology with the art of illusion. Prepare to captivate your audience with an experience they will never forget!

History of the Effect by Mikey Pilkey:
“In early 2017 I posted the basic idea in the Facebook group Svenpad supreme owners group. I couldn’t believe the attention it got. The basic idea was simply saying to Siri “play the song they are thinking of” and Siri would being to play the song. Since then, SIRIously Mental has come a long way. The basic idea was published in the September 2017 Issue of Genii magazine under Jeff Prace’s column “left handed”. In our communication, Jeff and I came up with additional Ideas that take it to a whole new level. First was my idea to make it personalized. Instead of saying “play the song they are thinking of” you can now use their name and say “play the song Samantha is thinking of” Jeff really loved this idea!!! Then Jeff thought of a way to have Siri get the song wrong, then, correct herself and play the right song. This blew my mind!! So now that you know the history, let’s get into SIRIously Mental!!”
