MENTALISM
Up to now, the effect of breaking a glass required the use of a special table, or of a device inserted into a tray, usually of an obviously large size. Electronic Crasher produces the same effect but with a small device that may be hidden in a card case, a packet of cigarettes, a book, or in any other suitable location.
Electronic Crasher is an electro-mechanical device that is 100% reliable. It is powered by two batteries (included) and has a timer that will trigger the event at the moment you decide (a window of 10-45 seconds).

The performer places a sealed envelope in full view, explaining that it contains a prediction of something that has not yet happened. Next, he spreads a deck of cards face up on the table and removes the joker. He gives the deck to a spectator who cuts it several times and then shuffles the deck. After cutting again if they wish, the spectator deals cards off of the top of the deck into a pile on the table. At any point that they wish, they stop dealing. The spectator removes two cards from either the top of the packet of cards on the table, or from the top of the deck remaining in their hand. They then choose just one of the cards. The performer reads their mind successfully and tells them which card they chose. But, that's not all... the performer then opens the envelope and tips out one playing card. Nothing else remains in the envelope, and the card matches the card the spectator chose!
This incredibly strong effect defies explanation. A powerful combination of 6 different principals of magic and Mentalism is used. Each one is baffling in its own right, but together they create an unfathomable mystery.

What People Are Saying...
"Mentalism 101 is an excellent mental effect. This is a welcome departure from the truncated, one page instructions that usually accompany dealer items. I compliment you on the very thorough and professional manner that you employed in preparing and packaging Mentalism 101." - Larry Becker
"Mentalism 101 is both an excellent effect for the beginner in Mentalism and a potential stunner for the experienced performer. For the novice, Dennis Loomis has provided some of the best instructions for any effect I've ever seen. Mentalism 101 lives up to its name, as it's almost a mini-course on several useful principles. For all, he's provided an effect with much adaptability, even going so far as to include two different but useful methods of revealing a prediction. More than a simple effect, it is an effect you will actually use!" - Lloyd Auerbach (a.k.a. Professor Paranormal) President, Psychic Entertainers Association.
ITEM # NIS017 PRICE $30.00
Back in 1986 Devin Knight who performed as a professional psychic shocked the world with a headline prediction that involved the Newfoundland Plane crash that killed over 200 people. The prediction had been held by a state senator. News of this went worldwide and the story was carried in over 2000 newspapers. In the history of magic NO HEADLINE prediction had ever garnered this much attention. The closest thing was the Robert Nelson Prediction of the Ages but even it didn't come close to TV, radio, and newspaper that this prediction made.
Even to this day magicians and mentalists still talk about the 1986 prediction. It made magic history. All this caught the attention of the renowned mentalist Al Mann and as a result he and Devin became close friends and worked on improving headline predictions to make them even better. Al Mann wrote a book called the Incredible Feats of Jason Michaels and teased mentalists with the effect but refused to tip the secret. Part of Devin's method was revealed in the rare Al Mann glass box manuscript of which only a handful are known to exist. Devin sold his original copy on eBay for $600.00 a few years ago.
The methods included are ADVANCED glass box techniques that Devin and Al Mann secretly developed and Devin used to fool reporters around the world. This information goes far beyond the original glass box manuscript and describes some of magic's closest guarded secrets.
After 15 years, Devin is finally tipping part of the secret in this release. Over the years Devin has been offered thousands of dollars by top mentalists for the information now available to you. Here is the effect as seen by the audience:
Mentalist arrives at a VIP, hopefully a high government official with a small clear plastic box. Inside the box are 3 slips of paper, each seen to be separate from the others. The slips are of different colors and folded. The clear box is sealed with tape and the VIP signs his name on the tape so the box can't be tampered with. He keeps this box in his possession and TRUTHFULLY, neither the magician nor secret assistant ever touches the box again, even during the show!
On the day of the show the VIP brings the glass box to the show. The performer explains that the box contains predictions made 2 weeks ago. The VIP brings the box on stage and verifies it has not been touched or tampered with in any way, shape, or form by anyone since in his possession. To verify the predictions, the performer calls for two people in the audience to come on stage. To insure these are random people and not stooges, balls are tossed into the audience and two people come on stage. The audience can see the slips in the clear box and THE SLIPS NEVER LEAVE SIGHT OF THE AUDIENCE.
One of the two spectators names any number from 1 to 52 and the second volunteer deals to that card and reveals it. The VIP reaches into the box and pulls out the green slip and written on it is the card just named. The first spectator freely selects any book (no force). He hands this to the 2nd spectator. The first person names any number from the pages in the book (FREE CHOICE), and the 2nd spectator turns to that page and thinks of ANY WORD on the page, not the first word, but any word and calls it out. The VIP reaches into the box and removes the yellow slip and written on that slip is the word just called by the person chosen by tossing balls into the audience. PERFORMER NEVER TOUCHES THE SLIPS; THE VIP REMOVES THEM FROM THE CLEAR BOX, opens them and reads the prediction and then hands it to the two spectators to verify. This is baffling beyond words and has fooled some of the biggest names in magic! Now for the killer kicker ending:
The VIP removes the last slip in the box and opens it. IT IS SEEN TO HAVE BEEN NOTARIZED with an official stamp and seal. The VIP opens the slip and reads it. It contains 3 HEADLINE PREDICTIONS that are 100% correct, and they have been notarized two weeks earlier! During this time the magician stands on the other side of the stage, NEVER TOUCHING THE BOX NOR THE SLIPS OF PAPER!
The press and VIP can take the notarized slip to the notary the next day and he will verify he READ and NOTARIZED this slip 2 weeks ago! The article in the paper will show a photo of the slip and the statement from the notary.
Nothing looks tricky, and this effect is so strong after doing it you will soon get a reputation for being the real thing. This is one of the most baffling prediction effects in the world! This has been held a closely guarded secret with only a handful of people in the world knowing the secret, until now!
This uses some of the most ingenious and devious methods ever devised and could only be created by the joint team of Devin Knight and Al Mann. This information has NEVER appeared in print before and shows the inner thinking of Devin Knight & Al Mann.
You receive the acrylic box (roughly 4" X 4" X 3"), color paper slips, and a detailed manuscript revealing all the inner workings that Devin used for over 6 years as a professional psychic, including a BONUS EFFECT!
This release will also show you the latest breakthroughs with this method. This will include how you can have an actual FOLDED CARD in the box instead of a slip. The folded card when removed from the box will match the card the 2 spectators mutually selected. This makes for better visibility to the audience and will PUZZLE those who may be familiar with Al Mann's original 3 slip method.
There are several workings given from the simple to the more complex that can result in worldwide publicity for the right person. In this kit you will also see some of the publicity that the Associated Press gave this trick worldwide.

ITEM # NIS019 PRICE $75.00
The Clip Board is the most common and useful prop for the working mentalist. With this item you can perform mind reading effects that will blow your audiences mind - giving the impression that you are able to read their thoughts. There are several clip boards on the market, and they are made for the same goal, getting the information from your spectators, without them catching on. Almost all of these clipboards use the same tired old gimmicks to achieve that goal.
The Perfect Clear Board uses a new and exciting design and concept created by Guy Bavli and his mentor Roni Shachnaey "Ronaldo". Your unsuspecting audience won't have a clue how you are getting their information. They will be in awe.
ITEM # NIS020 PRICE $48.50
In this effect by Guy Bavli you talk about the power of the flames and how images can sometimes materialize from the ashes, how the images can become really strong and powerful. Is it our minds? Or maybe our imagination? What is real and what is not?
As you explain, you proceed and hand a spectator a felt tip pen and a piece of tissue paper with the request that he will either write a number upon it if he is a business type person, or a letter if he is more of romantic. You then ask him to show the audience what he has written. When he has done this, you tell him to crumple the piece of tissue paper and place it in an ashtray.
You then hand him a box of matches (or a lighter) and ask him to burn the paper until it turns to nothing but burnt ashes. You then proceed and reach into the ashes. You gather the burnt ashes and slowly sprinkle them up on the back of you hand. As you "Brush off" the ashes, slowly and visible, whatever the spectator wrote appears written in ashes on the back of your hand.
