Checksum

A surefire pin reveal with a sneaky secret. 

Checksum uses no magic apps, no toxic force, and the spectator's borrowed phone.

Description

A SUREFIRE PIN REVEAL WITH A SNEAKY SECRET


Someone creates a unique 4 digit pin. Free choice.

The secret behind Checksum allows you to read their mind and know that number, every. Single. Time.

Checksum uses no magic apps, no toxic force, and the spectator's borrowed phone.

It's based on a stupidly simple math principle that anyone can do. If you can do this in your head... 6-3 = 3, you can do this effect.

Here's the sneaky bit. After you reveal their freely thought-of PIN, you'll secretly know their exact date of birth. They'll have no idea how you got it.

Now you can do birthday reveals, star sign reveals, one-ahead routines, and much much more.

  • Checksum is not the toxic force.
  • It uses no custom magic apps.
  • It can be done on their phone.
  • ... and it's so simple even a chimp can do it

With Checksum, you'll always be ready to perform - and even if you like using magic apps, knowing Checksum will give you an iron-clad backup should they ever fail.

Checksum by Mark Lemon is an unexplored, borrowed-phone phenomenon that you can learn INSTANTLY.

Download Checksum Today.

p.s. Checksum uses a scientific calculator that only comes standard on some Android devices. If you don't have one, you can download one for free from the Play Store, but then it can't be borrowed. Using iOS? You're all good. It'll work on every Apple device.

It requires practice but the results are amazing. It's totally worth it

It’s a video. Nice method, won’t be demonstrating it drunk though.

Mark Lemmon at it again with his creativity. This is one of the more mentally difficult effects straight out of the gates but with practice it destroys spectators.

good and celver trick - not for android

Smart method to find out date or pin.
Its contains tips and extra advices.

Matchable to very spesific version's of calculators...
If you use androidm you will have to download a diffrent app (that contains ads and make the process uncomfortable). Thats lead to the fact that its not 100% an impromptu trick.

Checksum is a good tool to add to the "Prop-less" Mentalism tool bag.

Pete Turner said it the best in the "Final Thoughts" section. If you treat this as one of your card sleights and practice it, it will become second nature. If you look at it and say, "That's it!?!" and "The math is too hard to do!" you won't get anything out of this. Give this method the proper respect it deserves and practice it. The instructions are slightly confusing at first. I strongly recommend you have three different people's birthdays written down and go through this step by step with it. The Mark Lemon/Pete Turner Jam session and final thoughts are great. IF YOU ARE NOT GETTING THE RIGHT ANSWER...go to the "Final Thoughts" section. My only complaint about the videos is that I thought I was doing something wrong; there is a slight glitch in the method, but nothing you can't overcome. This method/routine can be as straightforward or as complex as you want to make it. This can be a quick 2-minute routine or make it an 8-minute routine. It can be a silly calculator trick, or it can be a fantastic revelation. As always with mentalism, the impact is based on your performance and delivery of the material, not the trick itself. A poor performer will get a "Wow! That's crazy!" response, while the average to excellent performer will be talked about for years after the performance. Study this, try it out, get comfortable with it, study it some more, and melt minds!

Checksum is clever

When I first purchased this trick, I found the math a little daunting. I know other clever ways of getting a birthday or a predicted sum but this has both. This routine has a clever structure to it and flows very well that you can add your own mentalism style.

A cool method, with wich you can do a lot of mentalism stuff.

This is nice method. I can fool my spectators with this. And the highlight is, that I know they’re birth. But I think one moment is a little bit suspicious, but you can solve the problem with a good presentation. Very nice and you can do it anywhere.

Cheapest way to impress

There is learning course you have to make so its not eazy trick that works it self, also i think im important to mention pin code is not like pin code of phone or credit card, its pin-code of calculation. Once you get chill with around 3-4 days you can make this trick anywhere. And i suggesting to use your phone because its easyer.

Anyway its good for audience and i perform it already 12 times and went all good 👌👌

A bit clunky

Not sure what I was expecting with this one, but its a bit too messy and clunky for my style.
Its worth noting that you do need to do "a special something" to the spectators phone beforehand, which depending on their phone, might not be possible.
All in all its ok, but Cipher Pro is the way to go IMO.

Fave calculator effect

I've been performing this since its release date, it's my fave way to reveal birth and zodiac sign, great effect

best safety net

This effect is a really good safety net that can be virtually used in any performance, this can effect can be easily added into any routine. the only caveat is that you would need to practice this effect a few times, as there was a time that i once stuffed up the performance.

Cool trick

This is a cool trick and works best on iPhones. Being an Android user, downloading a third party app wasn't the best. Overall, I'm still happy with my purchase and enjoyed the contents from Mark. He explains things well and it was easy to follow.

Mark is a Mental Treasure

The effect is just a solid piece of borrowed from the spectator mentalist to start with, but Mark’s ability to add nuance is second to none. You will be a better performer just from his input.

It's only technically not toxic

It's a bit misleading to say that this isn't toxic. It's true to an extent. You're not forcing a number, but it definitely requires a similar setup. You can't just take someone's phone and naturally do this. You have to be prepared to do quick setup on the fly. If you're bold and can do it without really thinking or paying attention, you'll be fine. If you can't, maybe stick to your own phone until you are. Having said that, this eliminates the biggest problem Cipher and similar have. It absolutely can be done on their device. Most importantly there is a *lot* of good content here for the price. The method is OK, but the jam session and other performance tips apply all across your mentalism toolbox.

Face Off

This is an amazing trick which I now use as the final to my close up set. The cards take some time to set up but the effort is so worth it. You don't need anything special to create the gimmicks. It's super quick to learn and really easy to perform. From my experience you should not give the cards out as gifts at the end. Let spectators look at them but take them back. It is possible with the card in hand and time for someone to reverse engineer what has happened. It's so clever and a great buy.

Decently solid

Overall this is pretty solid, but I do want to address a couple things. It states the participant can “Freely think up a number” or can “think up a unique number” which yes, it’s unique to each person but it’s definitely not “Freely” thought up like the description states. I also wish the NEW method was at the beginning, rather than the middle, it was a little confusing learning it while in the middle of learning the original method. That being said, I can definitely see myself using this from time to time. I enjoyed both the guys in the video. I’d say the price is about $2 too high, but still worth the buy.

Give it time.

Stick with it as there's a feeling of 'mental effort' involved in preparing this effect for your spectator. With a bit of time, you have a clever reveal at your disposal. The added section with Peter Turner is a real bonus.

Pretty good

Cool effect but i dont have an iPhone which is a bummer. Thanks for always putting out great magic Ellusionist.

This is very smart

A lot of people know the Toxic force in some way or another. This is not Toxic. It's much smarter than that and the possibilities are endless. Mark's teaching is very good and the routine is very smart. The jam with Pete is very important and gives a good idea of how to use this in the best way.
I really like this :)

Nice effect

I recently bought Checksum and its a great effect. But for me it's a little hard to remember the numbers while also talking and doing my presentation, but after practicing a little I'm sure it'll be fine.
