Marc Paul's 'The Human Equation' is a groundbreaking mentalism routine designed to transform any performance into an unforgettable, shared experience. Moving beyond traditional 'micro' effects, this digital download reveals a powerful 'macro' routine where every single audience member becomes part of the magic.

Experience True Audience Engagement

Imagine a routine where the entire room, from the front row to the very back, is actively involved from the first moment. 'The Human Equation' delivers precisely this, starting with a unique 'mental gift' that primes everyone for the extraordinary. This isn't just about a few selected participants; it's about creating a collective consciousness of wonder. Nine volunteers are brought on stage, yet the broader audience continues to contribute to decisions that shape truly random, yet perfectly predicted, outcomes. This multi-layered involvement ensures a deep, personal connection for all.

The Genius Behind the Effect

Crafted by mentalism master Marc Paul, this routine quickly became a staple in his own world-traveling act. Its brilliance lies not in complex new methods, but in a unique concept and presentation that expertly conceals its principles. The performance culminates in a breathtaking double climax: a solid prediction reveal, followed by a dramatic link back to the initial 'mental gift,' creating a second, even more impactful 'wammy' that guarantees gasps. Paul Brook praises it as 'One of the best pieces of impromptu stage mind reading I have ever seen,' while Greg Hudson calls it 'absolute genius.'

Unparalleled Portability and Impact

For the traveling performer, 'The Human Equation' is invaluable. It embodies the 'pack flat, play big' philosophy, requiring only a marker pen and a large pad of paper—props you likely already carry. This minimal setup allows you to command a room of 20 or captivate an audience of 1000 with equal ease and impact. This isn't just a trick; it's a versatile 10-minute powerhouse that fits seamlessly into any show, delivering maximum impact with minimal fuss.

When this idea popped into my head I could not wait to try it out. I had a show the very next day and put this routine in. It was a storming success. You will not find any new methods here， although the principles in use are very well hidden. What you will find is a concept and presentation that I think is VERY special.

Recently thoughts regarding my own act have turned to making the whole performance more of an experience for EVERYONE in the audience. Performers who use any Q&A routine know that one of the appeals of such a routine is that it is a “Macro” effect.In other words everyone participates in the effect on some level. Bob Cassidy was the first person to use the terms “micro” and “macro” applied to mentalism. He uses them to describe not the size of the trick but size of the EFFECT.

A book-test generally is a micro effect. A word is chosen by someone and you tell them what it is. The rest of the audience are passive observers of this process， they are not actually involved in the effect. Macro effects on the other hand attempt to actually involve everyone at least on one level or another."One of the best pieces of impromptu stage mind reading I have ever seen!" -

The Human Equation has instantly become a pet effect for me. As many of you know I perform all over the world and spend a lot of time on planes and travelling. So effects that “pack flat and play bit” (as a famous magic dealer used to say) are invaluable to me. This routine uses just a marker pen and a large pad of paper. These are props that I carry with me for my regular show anyway so with no additional effort， just some obscure knowledge， I have a 10 minute piece that can play for a room of 20 or on stage for a 1000.

It starts by actively involving EVERYONE in the room and gives them a
“mental gift” that they will talk about after the show.
Nine people are then selected and brought up on stage. These nine people plus the pad and marker pen are your props. You can see why this plays so big.
Other people in the audience are still involved in making decisions that
create some truly random results. These results have been predicted
by you in advance and create a solid climax to the routine.
The stage volunteers are dismissed leaving the stage clear.
You now dramatically link the results back to the very beginning of the effect (the mental gift) and create a second “double wammy” climax.
Trust me this will get gasps， it’s that strong!

"If you are looking for a dynamic stage presentation that is all about the people (and what great mentalism isn't?) I'd highly recommend you check this out"- Kennedy
