Unusual Clue by Unknown Mentalist
Step into the world of mystery and intrigue with Unusual Clue, a unique and unconventional ‘Psychic Detective’ routine that will leave your audience spellbound. This innovative performance allows you to play the role of the detective, using an ‘unusual clue’ to predict the name of the criminal right at the start of the proceedings.
Here’s how it works: A random participant names a ‘victim’ straight from their imagination, while another names a ‘witness’—both chosen entirely at random with no force involved. Using the ‘unusual clue’ (which is in full view from the beginning), the participants then identify a ‘criminal’ from a list of ‘suspects’. This choice matches exactly with your initial prediction, creating a moment of pure astonishment.
Why Choose Unusual Clue?
- Self-Working: No complex sleights or preshow preparation required.
- Instantly Repeatable: Perform it multiple times with different outcomes.
- Minimal Setup: All you need is a small, normal envelope and three business cards. The envelope and two of the cards can be reused multiple times.
- Versatile Performance: Perfect for close-up and small groups, but easily adaptable for parlor and stage settings.
This routine is not just a trick; it’s a powerful presentation with a high-impact outcome. Whether you choose to play it humorously or mystically, Unusual Clue will captivate your audience every time. The package includes detailed patter, a script, alternative handlings, and bonus ideas to enhance your performance. Additionally, you’ll receive printable props for the suspect list to make your act even more engaging.

A unique and unconventional ‘Psychic Detective’ routine where the performer plays the detective and using an ‘unusual clue’ predicts the name of the criminal right in the beginning of the proceedings.
A random participant names a random ‘victim’ – straight from his imagination. Another random participant names a random ‘witness’ – again purely from his imagination. These names are chosen totally at random and out of the blue and there is absolutely no force involved. Then using the ‘unusual clue’ (which is in full view right from the beginning), the participants zero in on a ‘criminal’ from a list of ‘suspects’. This matches exactly with the prediction made by the performer.
Self working and very easy to perform. Instantly repeatable with a different outcome. Nothing to reset. All you need is a small, normal, ungimmicked envelope and 3 business cards. The envelope and 2 of the cards can be reused multiple times. No sleights. No preshow. No stooges. Although this is designed for closeup and small groups, it can easily be adapted to parlor and stage settings.
Powerful presentation with high impact outcome. Can be played humorously or mystically. Patter and script along with a couple of alternative handlings and some bonus ideas are included. A couple of indicative printable props for the suspect list are also provided.
