Tom Lauten – 357: A Masterpiece of Mentalism
Step into the world of Tom Lauten with his captivating creation, 357. This performance piece is a blend of suspense, psychology, and sheer astonishment, designed to leave your audience spellbound.
The Effect
Imagine this: A participant examines six cards, each marked with ‘Click’ on one side and ‘Bang’ on the other. Six envelopes are then introduced, representing the chambers of a gun. The participant is instructed to place one ‘Bang’ card and five ‘Click’ cards into the envelopes, mixing them thoroughly. As the performer, you turn away, relying solely on your skills of suggestion, precognition, and persuasion to determine which envelope holds the ‘Bang’ card.
With each incorrect guess, more money is placed on the table, escalating the stakes and the tension. Yet, despite the real test conditions, you will always succeed. No marks, peeks, impressions, forces, electronics, duel reality, equivoque, or pateo are used. This is pure mentalism at its finest.

From the creative mind of Tom Lauten comes “357”
Effect
A participant is invited to examine six cards， each one has the word ‘Click’ on one side and ‘Bang’ on the other. Six regular envelopes are examined and any card is placed into any envelope as the performer explains that each card represents a bullet and each envelope is the chamber of a gun. Turning away the performer instructs them to place one card showing the ‘Bang’ and the others showing a ‘Click’ into each envelope. All are mixed up as the performer turns back and attempts to divine which envelope contains the ‘Bang’ card.
Using suggestion， precognition and persuasion the performer puts money on the table and states that if he makes a mistake he’ll lose the cash. Maybe not as life threatening as a live bullet but none the less painful in it’s own way. Each envelope is eliminated one by one， more and more cash is placed on the table until just one remains. Despite the real test conditions you will succeed every time. No marks， peeks， impressions， forces， electronics， duel reality， equivoque or pateo.
You really do not see a thing， they can choose any card， any envelope， in fact they can use their own if they really want to.
Peter Nardi and Marc Spelmann teach 357 and then show you how to adapt the routine for other effects， living and dead， bank night， win or lose.
