The Royal Road to Mentalism

• They shuffle.
• They cut.
• They pick any packet.
• You're not looking or peeking.
• They take any card (no key card)
• The piles are shuffled (no stack)
• They put it back in any pile they want... However many cards down they want.
• They shuffle as much as they want (no estimation)
• You take the deck back...

...AND YOU KNOW THEIR EXACT SELECTION. 

It can be also done with billets or index cards - it's not limited to just playing cards. 

It's interesting because, to a magician, a card trick is a card trick.

But to a mentalist, a card trick is a demonstration of an incredible ability - that just happens to use cards.

The methods may be the same, but the presentations are worlds apart.

This means that by knowing basic mentalism techniques, nuances and presentations, you'll be able to take existing sleights and methods that you may already know and create limitless performance pieces out of them. 

Volume #2 Teaches an Out of This World... umm... Out of This World. 

The spectator buys a packet of Starburst (or any candy) and under the table, chooses which ones to give to you - and which to put in their pocket. 

The winner will be the person with all of the red ones. 

Statistically, there are only 2 to 3 red in every packet. 

Even though they've made all of the choices, you have all of the reds and they have a pocket full of the other colors.

You can even pause mid-performance and tell them what color they're holding (zero peeks).  

On this instant tutorial, you'll get over 1 hour of tuition from Mark Lemon & Peter Turner on this effect and multiple nuances. 

+ BONUS EFFECT. Peter Turner will teach you his coveted mastermind effect using a packet of Starburst, so you can successfully predict their code.

More about this 12 part series...

Over the next 12 months, we'll be  attempting to release 1 download per month in this series.

These effects are a re-imagining of published methods or new ways to perform classic plots. 

Mark Lemon & Peter Turner have been inspired by the gold inside The Royal Road to Card Magic and have given these ideas a new mentalism twist. 

As each new volume is released, the previous one will expire and be unavailable for individual purchase. So you'll have to be quick if you want to learn just this. It won't be sticking around forever. 

Don't worry, you can still pick up all 12 volumes in the series if you happen to miss one. 

Want all 12 Volumes?

People who pre-order all 12 will get each volume's download automatically added to their Ellusionist account, as it's released each month. Plus, you'll enjoy a saving. 

12 downloads at $14.95/each would be over $179. But you'll pay less than that.  

Is it on MagicStream?

MagicStream.com members will also have access to these volumes as they're released. So if you're already a member, you can watch each volume there without having to buy it again.
