Jack Curtis, co-founder of The 1914, teaches SIX incredibly strong, instantly resetting, real-world, close-up mentalism effects; designed and structured for hard-hitting impact.

Each effect is a solid, tried-and-tested, bulletproof worker; ready to slot perfectly into your brand new post-lockdown repertoire. (Get ready for some big reactions!)

Jack believes mentalism should be "Simple and Direct", a philosophy coined by fellow mentalist Looch, who also appears in the the explanations section. Together they will walk you through each effect in detail; covering everything from performance timing to psychological enhancers.

Best of all, watching Jack perform will inspire you to create engaging scripting. He effectively demonstrates that methodology is only a small component of our art and it is, in fact, strong performances that truly transform your tricks into miracles.

EFFECTS:

AMNESIC TRANSPO
The mentalist's answer to the two card transposition using business cards and a pen. A baffling demonstration of amnesia that will leave your spectators questioning their sanity.

EXTRA SUBLIMINAL PERSUASION
After learning about the famous psychic experiments of Dr. Rhine, your participant is left astonished to find that written on the back of all five ESP cards are predictions that perfectly reflect their decisions.

FLORAL DESTINY
Some physicists argue life is pre-determined and there is no such thing as free will. Floral Destiny explores this philosophical idea using a freely named flower and an embodiment of randomness: a deck of playing cards.

BLANK 2.0
A multi layered demonstration of apparent subliminal influence using freely named number and a deck of cards; An exceptionally structured 3-phase routine engineered for maximum amazement and impossible backtracking. It can also be performed in your online virtual shows.

LAW OF ATTRACTION
Using nothing more than a stack of business cards and a pen, you are not only able to correctly divine the name of a family member your participant is thinking of, but also present an incredible demonstration of "Synchronicity".

SILVER LINING
Two contrasting coins are used to challenge your spectator to a battle of the minds. After an apparently disappointing ending, you bounce back with a surprise jaw-dropping finale! Also suitable for virtual performances.

BONUS
A thought-provoking essay about close-up approach techniques, an essay on the topic of predictions, a very funny blooper reel and a short video discussion that will dramatically change the way you think about playing cards.
