MENTALISM
You begin with a sack full of high quality, 4 x 6-inch picture postcards - except for their identical dimensions, each and every one of them is unique; no duplicates.
When the bag is emptied into a participant's hands, he is asked to look them over and then to mix them - getting nearby people to help if he chooses - to guarantee a thorough shuffle.
Then, to ensure a random, blind selection, the cards are returned to the ungimmicked brown paper bag. As you avert your gaze, your helper is directed to reach inside and grab a few, "More than a couple, perhaps as many as a dozen. Bring them out together as one packet and conceal them in your pocket for the time being." A second participant is requested to take one more postcard from the sack next, keeping it out of sight as well.
"Oddly, the number 8 pops into my mind," mentions the performer. Turning to the first helper he instructs, "Reach into your pocket and bring out single postcards at random, showing each to the audience, until only one remains concealed." He shows a total of 7 different postcards - the 8th remains hidden in his pocket.
You instantly can describe the picture on his postcard, do a 'remote viewing' of the scene, or sense the subject matter perfectly. And with no hesitation whatsoever, you immediately do the same with the second helper. If you wish to present POSTAL! as a prediction, you have the option to exercise 100% control of the final postcard - not the same each time - with no suspicious counting, moves, or other absurdities.
POSTAL by Larry Becker and Lee Earle is an easy, one-man routine. Lee Earle's extensive graphics and computer skills have produced a series of postcard images that have the sneakiness Photo shopped into the subject matter and layout! There are no angle problems and you can leave everything out for inspection if you wish (i.e. - no flaps, no compartments, no duplicates, no sleights, no cribs, no questions asked, no fishing, etc.). In addition to the 16 custom cards, your set of high-quality professionally printed, scenic color postcards will include 20 assorted 'indifferent' postcards to get you started. We'll even toss in the ungimmicked sack! Included is a 'secret something' that makes this a baffling yet easy routine! For an even more impressive performance, augment POSTAL! with more of your own postcards.

Five Powerhouse Routines!
The Universal Word - Imagine chatting up someone just before show time, inviting her to think of a single word which she will reveal to you later, during your performance. She writes nothing down and tells no one. She has the option of changing her word any time and, until she reveals her choice to one and all, she is the only person in the entire universe who knows the word in her mind.
Later, after asking her to join him, the performer gazes into her eyes and writes something on a scrap of paper which is quarter-folded and openly tucked into a small pocket in his wallet. To ensure accuracy, the participant holds the wallet so everyone can easily see the folded paper. After she reads aloud her word's dictionary definition, she removes the folded paper from the wallet. When she opens it and reads aloud what you wrote, your prediction is the exact same definition and word as hers!

ITEM # NIS0540 PRICE $125.00
In this effect by Mark Elsdon a standard pack of ESP cards is displayed to the audience, and one of each symbol is removed: circle, star, wavy lines, square and cross. The performer sticks a small white sticker to the back of each one (the spectator can check that they really are stuck) and mixes them up. The spectator freely decides which of the five symbols to draw on each card, with no forces, equivoque or other hokey magician's ploys.
One by one the cards are flipped over (the spectator can flip the cards over himself) and each card perfectly matches what is drawn on its back! Oh yeah, and the cards may be fully examined
Zenner-Tech is a very direct and commercial ESP test. No extraneous props, no 'sticky' cards and no sleights. It is perfect for a formal close-up or mentalism performance or as an encore piece when you need to perform a killer closer. The spectator makes all the decisions and yet the outcome is guaranteed, every time! If you want to add a stunning mental effect to your repertoire, then Zenner-Tech fits the bill.
ITEM # NIS0541 PRICE $32.00

THE ONE WITH THE TRIVIAL PURSUIT CARDS
If you like mentalism you are going to love this! In this effect the performer introduces a packet of Trivial Pursuit cards and places them on the table. He then turns away and need not look at or touch the cards again. The spectator is instructed to cut into the cards and take one out. He looks over the questions on the card and decides on one but tells no one.
Following a prelude test dealing with the category of the question that has been chosen, the performer writes something on a piece of paper, folds it up and hands it to the spectator. The spectator is asked to read aloud the question, and then turn the card over and read the answer out.
Next he is asked to open the paper and read what the performer wrote. He does so and it is the exact same answer! The performer asks that the cards be handed to a different person. This person is also asked to cut into the cards and take one out. He too chooses a question. This time the performer writes nothing down, he simply announces both the category and the answer to the question the spectator is merely thinking of!
