Mentalism is also about the performance not the tricks. Mentalism isn't about 'tricks', it's about belivability achieved though effects, tehniques and methods. To quote an older, wiser member here: 'If they're looking at your hands you're doing something wrong.' It's very hard to control this situation with people who have known you well. If you perform for people you don't know, don't let your friends introduce you as a 'magician' or you'll be fighting uphill. It's wonderful but doesn't usually work on friends and relatives of 'magicians'.įind a real or at least believable effect to do and do not do any standard magic all day before or after you do it. For example, Patrick Redford's 'Prevaricator', a genuine demonstration of reading body-language, works best on people who believe you can read their body language. it often makes the real stuff impossible to perform.
They might eventually come around if you perform only the real stuff for a few years. If they suspect it moves because you're blowing it around or using a magnet or have implanted tiny mites in the pendulum. Try using a pendulum in their hands and see what their reaction is. People who know you're skilled in magic might suspect trickery even when you're not being tricky. You might get some traction by actually performing something genuine. It's best to perform mentalism for people who don't think of you as a magician. Your friends don't believe what you're doing might be real. Please let me know if there are such tricks! and how is extractor by the way, does it fall under this criteria?
I am fed up with my audience.and specially these days, be it my friends, friends of friends or even relatives.they know I do tricks and all.so even tho they enjoy the trick but what they enjoy doing the most is CATCHING ME!!! lol.but if I look at the brighter side(their opinion).better to be caught by people you know than strangers! and I can also improve this way. So basically, what I am looking for a trick which is the safest, cleanest and literally everything can be examined!!! I know its asking for too much, but I am sure if not all, there are certain tricks that might come under this criteria. wish they were as good as Powerball 60 (genuineness) or high quality such as 'alarmed' photos Predicta - Cheap quality cards, ruin the whole trick. Psypher - Easy to hide the gimmick! two thumbs up.however still need to hide it! i have got a lot of mentalism(type) tricks and bought all of them from !.This is the listĮSP Cards, Alarmed, Cataclysm, Caractromancy, Marked Decks, Psypher, predicta and a few more.almost all of them are mentalism tricks with an obv patter!!.but the chances of getting caught are high specially with the audiences I have (people here just don't want to appreciate, rather they want to catch you!!!!.at least my audience does)Īlarmed - if the photo is observed under L***T its almost a giveawayĬataclysm - Deck cant be examined by the spectator I am nikhil from New Delhi, India!.Finally enrolled.
