Fist Full Of Dollars
An incredible opener for any impromptu situation. Give your spectator a chance to win some cold hard cash. All they have to do is guess which hand holds the money! They will never win! As a kicker you prove to them you knew they would choose the wrong hand from the start.

Drinks On The Patio
A great little performance piece to do when you’re in a bar. A lovely lady is requested to help out and as a thank you will buy her a drink. The drink she gets depends on how well she does in the little test.

Take Note
Your spectator takes part in a little game of chance. 3 notes of different values are placed on the table. You write a prediction on a business card which remains on full view through out. Now using your powers of persuasion you manage to influence their choice of note!

Perfect ESP
A quick & simple ESP match up routine. Even though your spectator mixes the cards. You always place your card down first and you can even do this facing away from your spectator! No- one a head, marked cards or extra cards involved used!

Single Handed Geller
Marcs ultra slick one handed coin bend. This is something that you will carry with you always!

Underhand Thoughts

Disc Two

A Tribute To Mr Kane
This is an Impromptu version of Kane’s variant. A great gambling effect using only 5 business cards and some money.

Feel
A spectator holds an imaginary object in their cupped hands. You now concentrate and tell them exactly what they are holding!

Serial Killer Lite

Three For The Money
A three phase performance piece. Each phase gets increasingly more difficult, yet you prove your power with 3 correct predictions! Which coin they will choose, the amount of change they have and finally the serial number on a borrowed bill.

Busch Brain Buster
No DVD on mentalism would be complete without a book, magazine or newspaper test. This superb 2 phased routine has been used by Spelmann and Nardi even in their paid performances utilises a fantastic subtlety from Richard Busch. Reveal a freely chosen word from any newspaper, book or magazine & describe an item your spectator has locked in their mind!

REVIEW BY NING of THE LITTLE MAGIC SHOP

The Unexpected (2 DVD set) by Spelmann and Nardi

The routines in this fantastic DVD set makes use of important subtleties, equivoque, and simple mentalism techniques. Many featured routines use multiple outs and utilizes techniques that vary as the routines progress. This makes for very sophisticated and ‘pure’ type of mentalism routines that will amaze today’s jaded audiences (you know how the typical Singaporean crowd can be!). This DVD set is great because it focuses on IMPROMPTU mentalism feats so all the routines can be performed anytime, anywhere. Ain't that grand? *grin*

There are so many gems included, some being:

Drinks on the Patio – This is a prediction of an object among eight items by a process of elimination. While not entirely ground-breaking new, this routine examines the use of the Pateo Force in the context of a routine. The nuances and subtleties taught are truly worth the weight in gold and can be applied to any collection of objects. One of my faves in this DVD!

Perfect ESP – This is a great ESP matching routine where 10 cards match exactly even though the magician and the spectator randomly match them into pairs. It is dependent on one move that requires misdirection & a smooth execution, but if you get this down, the routine is very strong. This routine can also be adapted to formal stage performances as well.

Underhand Thoughts – This is an excellent drawing duplication routine that is impromptu. You can use business cards, index cards or double blank playing cards. I like it because it is so brilliant on so many different levels... really worth a check out!

Tribute to Mr Kane – This one is pretty amazing *grin* It's a simple but brilliant method... something that actually made me go "WOW!". While the presentation is in the form of a gambling game, it is an excellent way to force an item out of 5 numbered items. It is perfect for formal stage shows if necessary as well. Really good stuff! :)

In all... There are many more great routines in here, this DVD set has my highest recommendations! This is something every mentalist should get!


CHEERS!
