Snotty Nosed

The story of a girl in a nightclub whos

limited skills of doodling are duplicated
using just a few business cards under test
conditions.

Nookey
At risk of being deported by US
Immigration you whip out a mentalism card
trick that is so shocking, theyre afraid to
not let you in to the country.

Attraction
To impress a young lady (and nd out if
shes really a lady at all), you take her
back to your place and show her a card
trick that uses an envelope. Next you cook
eggs for breakfast.

ErrrmI Cant Remember
Have a stranger genuinely not be able to
remember what you just showed was
printed on a card. This is a totally different
approach to getting people to forget, which
results in them wracking their brains and
admitting they cannot recall the
information.

Tell The Truth, Kidda.
When someone lies to your face, rather
than getting angry you show them this
impressive card mentalism demonstration
that shows youre impossible to lie to.

Sucking a Softy
While your guy friends struggle to win the
attention of some nearby girls, you whip
out some straws and make a prediction of
exactly which drink those ladies would like
to drink.






Dinosaur Subtlety
As a master inuencer of all other humans,
this book test subtlety will show the
audience that youre not just doing tricks,
but you really understand human
behaviour on a frightening level.

Focused Opener
As well as a treatise on openers and why I
have found problems in the traditional
approach, my approach using a ball of
paper and a pad that is both subtle and
direct.

Mr Golden Balls
Bag, balls and laughs. My presentation for
Kurutsuke, as well as my surprise kicker
nale that takes everyone unawares and
gives a solid ending to this routine. I
almost sold this separately, but that was
more work so its in Bairn.

Bookend
The full structure to a show including my
opener, middle and closer for my parlour-
size shows. Youll take advantage of time,
structure and opportunities to create a new
level of mental miracle.

Sensible Inuence
Sniff thiswhat is it? Its a glass of water,
but 4 spectators will each tell you its
something very different.

Headlines In Black and White
You predicted todays headlines weeks
ago, not only in an envelope the usual way
but in an ad you placed in the same
newspaper all those weeks ago, you
scamp!

And The Star Says
Reveal an individuals star sign without
them being able to back-track a
progressive anagram.

Bairn Book Contents
Who$ Got he Mon"y?
One of two people is holding your cash.
Using real psychology you work out who
one it is in my very unique take on the
Money effect. Plus a kicker ending that is
not only justied but totally unexpected.

Predictagram (AKA E1)
The closing effect of many full time
mentalists right now. Audience members
write down words. One volunteer takes a
look at 6 of their words and freely decides
on one word - yet it is the only word
predicted inside of the large envelope you
have on stage. Possibly one of my best
creations to date.

Called Out Thoughts
The card named by three spectators is the
card youre holding on stage.

Mind Turn
Sitting opposite each other, both you and
the volunteer reverse a card in your deck.
You exchange decks only to discover
youve both reversed the same card. Book
the church, its fate!

The One Short Way To Play Fair
My go-to card effect every time. You name
a card, they name a number and when
they deal down to that number they nd
the card you named. They ip out and call
you the devil. Usual story.

Reason To Write
Why are you writing the name of that
celebrity on to that pre-folded businesses
card, sir? You better have a good reason!
Well, heres one I use and am pretty happy
with.

The Distant Bet
From all the way over there, on the other
side of the room you nd a borrowed
pound coin which has been hidden in one
of three matchboxes. Of course if you get it
wrong, the steaks are much greater!



Fussy Eater
A routine about a packed lunch where the
audience works out which drink and
sandwich youd have in your lunch bag.
Plus a snazzy rational for limiting choices.

Newspaper
A word is selected from a newspaper and
you predicted it! My approach to the
newspaper test which make it much more
reliable and less terrifying to perform.

Afraid Of Dogs
A fty-fty chance routine that runs
throughout my show, and ends with a
surprise. I like surprises.

Accidental Magic Square
Finally an ending for the magic square that
doesnt diminish the original routineand
actually gives an ending to the magic
square.

Order and Agender
A chair test with no gimmicks, pure bluff
but many revelations.

As You Do Book
Need to know the rst letter of someones
thought-of word to decipher it? Users of
those types of book tests might like this
approach.

Breaking News
My method for the headline prediction that
I use in combination with Headlines In
Black and White, the way I performed it on
UK radio.

Tossed Out Death
A cheery routine. Actually not a routine at
all. These are my justications and
scripting for getting people to do what we
need them to do in Tossed Out Deck
routines.

Seance From The Past
One of, if not the rst thing I ever invented.
During a seance the Planchet is drawn
toward several letter cards, on turning
them over they spell the name of one of
your guests. They have a heart attack, die
and continue to communicate with you
through the Ouija.

Thoughts And Subtleties On Add A
Number
When you perform add a number,
audience members can get smart to the
method, so since Ive probably included a
variation of Add A Number in every show
Ive ever performed, here army thoughts,
discoveries and ramblings to help us stay
safe. Its like a rubber for your add a
number.

Magazine Test Of The Stars
In a t of panic, when everything was
going wrong during my planned magazine
test in my show Peer 6, I came up with this
impromptu method on the y, and then
have used it ever since.

Stacked, Borrowed, Remembered
How to perform stacked deck effects with a
borrowed deck. Another useful thing I
came up with while panicking. Im good at
panicking, I should do it more often.

An Act V.S A String Of Tricks
Read as I try and work out what the
difference is.

Crowd Control
Can you predict the actions of the entire
audience? Yesyes you can.

The Lady Who Almost Made Me Faint,
Who Then Bought Me A Drink
A story I have to tell you, you wont believe
it, and I still cannot.

The Verbal Himber Wallet
How to use the sound of your voice as a
Himber wallet.


Knowledge
A principal about learning more in each
routine and how we can use that
information.

Starting Strong
My approach on structure that goes
completely against the grain.

Slapper
Is it possible to use a short shing
sequence for a number of cards whos
identities you dont even know? I call this
Slapper because I use her a lot.

Add Ahead
If youre a lover of the one-ahead principal
and want a new approach to make it more
subtle and unfathomable, this might help
you out.

Step Up
A demonstration of afnity. People draw
pictures and even though they cannot see
which picture you hold, the artist of each
picture senses it is his and steps up to
claim it.

The Final Two
The last two items of an equivoke can
cause problems for some. Here is a
solution.

Nutcase (And The Yes But No Principal
Of Doom)
Randomly named objects are found to be
inside of a padlocked briefcase.

Theo and Cassidy Walk In To A Bar In
Ostin
A jaunt in to Bob Cassidys Name/Place
routine with a twisted ending that Cassidy
insisted I should share.
