MENTALISM
In this effect by James Cheung mentalism is about to enter a new age -- the age of Cerebro! The impossible suddenly becomes possible, beliefs will be redefined, and you will leave stunned and fried audiences of laymen and magicians in your wake. Cerebro is truly the next level in mentalism.
Cerebro is a devious and novel spectator cueing system that allows the realization of hitherto pipe dream routines. The spectator-as-mindreader plot takes on a new meaning and is made more direct and cleaner than ever thought possible.
Cerebro is an integrated electronic cueing system for the professional mentalist, the direct culmination of many years of research and testing. With it you can implant thoughts directly into the mind of a spectator. They will literally hear your voice inside their head! It is like having the gift of touch telepathy.
The original Cerebro sent shockwaves throughout the world of mentalism and for good reason. It heralded the advent of one of the first genuinely new principles to be used for cueing. Until now, the technology has been jealously guarded by a lucky few, but due to popular demand, James Cheung has created Cerebro Solo designed specifically for solo performers to covertly cue spectators.
Here are some of the routines possible with Cerebro:
PK Sounds - Two volunteers are seated at opposite sides of a room. Both are blindfolded and one is asked to place their fingers into their ears so they cannot hear anything. A word is whispered to the other volunteer but both hear the word! A baffling and genuinely new interpretation of PK Touches.
Thought Jump - A performer fans a deck of cards to show they are all different. The cards are then fairly riffle shuffled and a member of the audience selects a card and remembers it without showing the audience. Another audience member comes on stage and is asked to read the mind of the other spectator. The performer then places a hand on the spectators, acting as a conduit for their thoughts. The second spectator correctly names the card the first spectator chose and is revealed to be 100% correct. This can be done with any information you like, not just cards however pre-show work may be needed. This is the ultimate in direct and impromptu spectator-as-mindreader effects.
Hypnotic Realities - Any spectator brought on stage can appear to be hypnotized by you. No exceptions and will work every time. Hypnotic Realities is a direct and pure application of the dual reality principle that will leave audiences with the impression that you are a master hypnotist.
Cerebro can also be used to make any object you hold emit sound. The transducer effectively turns solid or hollow objects into a "speaker." It's very eerie and James Cheung has even used Cerebro to make an empty glass "sing" a prediction!
What are the differences between Cerebro and Cerebro Solo?
Cerebro Solo is designed for spectator cueing only. It is used by a solo performer and lacks the ultimate versatility of Cerebro, which is a two-person system, and can be used in a self-cueing or spectator cueing configuration. Other than that, the two systems work in exactly the same way.
What can Cerebro do that is different to existing methods?
Cerebro relies on a completely new principle, not utilized in mentalism before, that allows for the covert transmission of exceptional amounts of information. It will not do your laundry; make you coffee or shine your shoes but it will allow you to perform spectator as mindreader effects cleaner and more impossible than ever before. The huge benefit to Cerebro is that information need not be in code thus opening up the ability to cue information to a spectator in the most innocent, subtle and downright impossible manner creating a physical 'event' inside the spectator's head just through touch.
Does the spectator know they are being cued?
Yes. They will know something is going on but they will never see the Cerebro unit yet they will certainly feel a physical sensation. Some spectators may interpret it as being paranormal but most will know that something covert is happening, as is the characteristic of all instant stooging methods.
Does Cerebro use an earpiece?
No. Cerebro does not use any covert earpieces and can even be used on a spectator who has their ears blocked.
In what situations can the Cerebro be used?
Cerebro is primarily designed to work in a stage setting. Although it can be used in parlor or cabaret settings, certain environmental conditions need to be met. It cannot be used in a bar, club, or anywhere where ambient noise is high.
Is there any set-up involved?
No, the Cerebro system is small, self-contained, concealable and only need to be set up on one's person. Once set-up, the device gimmick is instantly accessible and is self-ditching.
Can I wear a T-Shirt with it?
No, you cannot. You have to wear sleeves, preferably a jacket.
Do I need to purchase anything else to use it?
Everything you need to get started has been included in the system. Apart from batteries, you are good to go straight from the box.
Will you offer a warranty?
The system comes with a one-year warranty against defects in workmanship. If any of the components breakdown in normal use, we will repair or replace the faulty part at our discretion.
"This could be the greatest leap in mentalism. In the hands of a skilled performer this could be one of the most deceptive devices ever created. Cerebro can make you a legend, or even better a superman..." - Doctor Zodiac
"The Cerebro Solo opens doors that before had been firmly closed to the solo performer. Many exciting effects are possible with ease that were never before imagined." - Luke Jermay

"A three phase ESP test." by Jeff Pierce
A realistic, three phase demonstration in the use of ESP cards.
This set consists of:
"The routine is quite clever and uses a number of proven principles to create a great routine that builds and builds. I believe that a talented performer could turn this sequence into a little masterpiece." - Richard Osterlind - Mentalist and Author
"Jeff has taken what is a great card idea and turned it into a fantastic ESP routine. Each phase gets stronger and each phase will prove that you must be in charge of some psychic power. I put this effect up there with Osterlind's Viewed Prediction and Maven's Clash of Symbols. This would be a highlight on any TV special. I'd love to keep it to myself, but Jeff deserves the praise for putting his routine out there. Brilliant routine coupled with brilliant thinking... what more could you ask for?" - Greg Acre - Mentalist, Magician, and Author
"Telepa-Three is the kind of routine that audiences will remember long after the performance. Because it is so easy to do, you will be comfortable performing it and can put all your effort toward building up the effect and interacting with the audience. I highly recommend Telepa-Three to magicians from beginner level all the way up to full-time pros." - Scott F. Guinn - Magician and Author

Mentalism+ is proud to present Midas, an exciting new tool for the working mentalist. Midas is truly a landmark utility device that scores full marks for usability and versatility. Combining cutting edge technology and exceptional conceal ability, Midas gives you the power to detect metal covertly and accurately. We won't patronize you with the possibilities that such a device opens up, needless to say if you cannot see what is possible, this device is not for you.
Midas is the world's smallest pulse induction metal detector designed by James Cheung and Reg Martin specifically for mentalists. The search head is worn on the wrist and is connected to a silent vibrating body worn unit with a remote control. The search head is attached to the vibrator with a 1m lead and the remote is attached to that using a 30cm lead. The configuration has been designed to minimize lead snag and maximize concealment. If comfort, conceal ability and performance are important to you, Midas is really the only realistic choice on the market.
It utilizes the very latest auto-calibrating surface mounted circuitry allowing impressive miniaturization and performance that belies its size. The search field geometry has been optimized to provide proximity detection in all directions, eliminating the need for any 'sweeping' action thus allowing for natural looking usage and highly accurate detection characteristics. A very brief touch is all you need. Even the set-up is simple and minimal - Just turn it on and you're good to go.
The performance figures are astonishing and have far exceeded the original planned specifications. Tests have shown that Midas will detect all metals, ferrous or non-ferrous including gold, silver, steel, iron, aluminum, nickel, brass, copper, tin, magnesium, copper, zinc, tin and rhodium. It also works with all known coinage from 10mm diameter upwards and will detect a pin at 1.5 inches, a coin envelope sized piece of foil or foil-coated paper at 4-6 inches and even a 1mm sliver of aluminum foil at 1 inch! We have even detected a cigarette packet at 6 inches and a wrapped stick of chewing gum at 3 inches. The operational range is up to 6 inches but the optimal operational range is between 0-3inches and will detect even through someone's hand!
The more creative amongst you will see the impressive applications of such a device. Psychometry routines, Russian Roulette or 'Find the Lady' routines become instantly cleaner and more impossible. The possibilities that Midas opens up are impressive.
Each Midas is hand-built by Reg Martin and comes with a 1-year warranty.
The dimensions of the search head are 6cm x 3cm x 1cm and the vibration unit is 8cm x 4cm x 2cm. The remote is 7cm x 3cm x 2cm and is powered by 1 x 9V Battery.
For those who prefer a two unit configuration (search head + Vibration unit with integral battery), we also sell a custom 2 unit variant that comprises the search head and a belt worn vibrator measuring 10cm x 6cm x 2cm for the same price. Please email for details.
