The Fab Four! By Graham Hey

Four fabulous ebooks featuring killer mentalism routines and lots of fun cool ways to get a spectator to help you! Suitable for close-up and stand-up.

Mental Movies

From a paper bag, you remove a ball of paper which is then thrown over your shoulder into the audience. The person who catches it is going to assist you. You show them a selection of movies written on to the faces of playing cards. These are turned face down and the spectator mixes them behind their back. You say you’re going to try and use your manipulation skills and make them select a certain movie.

After they have mixed the cards, you invite them to take the top card. Let’s say it’s ‘Jurassic Park’. You then instruct them to open the ball of paper used to freely select them – it’s a poster for Jurassic Park. Wow! It gets even better – inside the bag is a DVD of one movie – it’s Jurassic Park.

You don’t touch the cards, there’s no switching – it’s self-working and gets a fantastic reaction. You don’t even need to go out and buy any props – you’ll have everything at home. Full routine with original comedy lines included, you can’t go wrong with this great piece of entertainment. You can change the outcome easily by making different sets which will only take 5 minutes each time.

Superstars ‘R’ Us

The performer hands a prediction envelope to a member of the audience and then asks people to call out the names of any members of the Beatles, the Bee Gees or ABBA. (*You choose any bands). The performer writes down a selection of the names as they are called out until he’s got seven or eight of them. He then reads them all out again to make sure he’s got every person’s selection, which they confirm. The papers are then folded and thrown into a bowl. A spectator selects any one and takes a secret look at it.

The performer then proceeds to read the spectator’s mind correctly – telling them which superstar they’ve freely selected. Not only that, but the performer then reveals that he knew in advance which name they would select when the prediction envelope is opened and the correct performer’s name is read out.

There are no switches, no sleights, no peeks and no forces. The bowl is clear and un-gimmicked. This is just a super clever, self-working method. With a few minutes work, you’ll be able to perform this easily.
You get the full routine (with original gags) and alternative ideas – you can use famous landmarks, colors, months, and more. The method is so deceptive that you’ll be using this regularly. And if you perform comedy, there is a great comedy idea and a Bonus Trick too.
This is an absolute bargain.
* Perfect for stand-up (small-to-large audiences) and also great for where there are 10 people around a table, like at a wedding for example. This is a gem!

Pineapple Crush

Here’s a fun trick that has everyone laughing and a cool twist at the end provides the magic. It’s self-working and perfect for either close-up or stage.

The effect: A prediction in a bag is placed on the table – the top of a pineapple is sticking out of the top. A selection of cards is shown – each has the name of a fruit on its face. A spectator freely selects any card – they select: ‘Orange’. Oh no, that’s not going to work! But then a great twist means the magician manages to save face.
Forget those effects that cost you $30 and you never use – get Pineapple Crush and add some real fun to your act. You can make the necessary props easily. You’ll need to buy some fruit. Great entertainment.
