In Vol 2 of The Whisper Tapes, Le Val shares a fantastic routine known as The Thought Seer. Cleverly designed for walk-around or casual performances, the routine happens as follows;
Every spectator is handed a small piece of paper. They write/draw whatever you ask of them. (A free choice of any word/number/shape etc.) The papers are folded and collected, then shuffled by a spectator. One by one, each piece is held in your closed fist, and you are able to accurately describe what is written or drawn on the paper AND who it belongs to!
Points to remember:
- You can reveal ANY information
- NO gimmicks
- NO setup
- Start and end completely CLEAN!
While it is recommended that this routine be performed for 3-5 people, it can be performed for any number of spectators. At the end of this download, Le Val also shares a variation of the method with a useful tip inspired by Derren Brown. This variation requires a very small setup that only takes seconds, but it can make a huge difference!
Never again leave an audience with anyone feeling like they were missed out. READ EVERYONE’S THOUGHTS TODAY!
This is a great piece that is a worker. It can be performed in multiple venues, parlor, stage or walk around. I am a novice mentalist hack and feel quite comfortable adding this power piece to any presentation. It is a show stopper. Thank you Lewis. You are one of the best thinkers in the business.
I used this principle once for some friends and they realized what I was doing. I am sure no one will realize the method with this simple handling. The simple gesture when the move takes place is so natural no spectator will believe any move was done.
Lewis LeVal has constructed a pseudo-psychometry/ pseudo- Q and A routine, which is very easy to follow and taught very well in the course of the download explanation. He teaches a couple of handlings of this routine in which he creates a justification for the billet usage. This justification also allows for him to gain secret information in the most overt way possible with no heat on the billets themselves. The second routine he teaches completely removed the need to gain secret information on the fly and has more of a built in justification. Lewis is very good at explaining the routines and going back through to makes sure that no items are missed throughout the explanation. Overall this is very attainable and worth the cost of the download. I believe with this download individuals can get lots of performance mileage.
Nowadays there is a lot mentalism material but most of it is ****! I love Lewis thinking about the simplicity of how he creates, structures and justifies a lot of his routines. This is definitely one of the best purchases i have made that makes me feel excited to perform.
The majority of this trick is as old as dirt, but there's one subtlety that I haven't come across before that was worth its weight in gold. It's really a whole principle that instantly adds a convincer to a routine that's otherwise been done to death.
