Re: Stage Drawing Duplication

I suggest you get one of John Riggs's 'Brown Hornet' impression boards. This excellent prop will allow you many variations of drawing duplications.

Re: Chairvelopes

Fabio Any multi-out wallet that will allow 4 small envelope outs will do. I use Larry Becker's Versadex wallet for Chairvelopes, but I think the Mind Spy should work just as well. The only difference in handling using Versadex or Mind Spy is the need to watch the angles when taking out the envelope ...

Re: Mental force of a Number between 1 - 50

Jacob
There is no such thing as an absolutely sure-fire psychological force. You could probably accomplish what you want to do with an Add-A-Number pad and multiple outs.

Re: prediction closer effect

It's in Richard Kaufman's book 'Ron Wilson - the Uncanny Scot'. The effect, in brief, is: the mentalist writes on a card 3 pieces of information given to him by a spec. He then hands the card to another spec for checking. The mentalist pulls out of his jacket pocket a wallet and inside a zipped comp...

Re: Ian Rowland on cold reading?

Ian Rowland's book is a very good and detailed account of the verbal techniques used in Cold Reading - however if you are interested in doing readings for people it does not give you a 'system'. Better books for this purpose are by Richard Webster, Jon St.Germain and others. If you want to get into ...

Re: centre tear

Richard Busch's book 'Peek Performances' has a lot of info about center and off-center tears, amongst much other very good stuff. Recommended.

Re: Forcing Numbers

Mark
If you want to force the total of several numbers added together (each number chosen by a different spectator), you can use something like a Kozar Prediction Notepad, or even a Himber or Mindspy wallet.

Re: Suggestions?

Yes, it's important to read the classic Corinda and Annemann texts, but I also think that modern mentalism books have more useable material. My current 'bible' is Larry Becker's Stunners-Plus - a masterpiece, in spite of the typos and missing bits of text.

Re: Book Tests

You could use 2 entirely normal paperbacks for a Hoy type book test. One of the books is used to force a page number in the other book, from which you remember the first line on the force page (the first, or longest word, or the gist of the whole line). Another option is Max Maven's Autome, which is...
