Une info du créateur sur la révélation... It is a type of printed prediction, which makes sense in the context of the readings (which are quite specific) and the content of the cards. The prediction is printed in a certain format which hides the content until you point it out to the participant who can then immediately see that it fits exactly.

Merci pour le lien, parisien 12 Sinon, j'ai discuté avec Michael Murray, qui connait bien cet effet. En fait, la révélation est la page "sommaire" d'un livre, et chaque chapitre correspond aux images choisies par le spectateur, dans le bon ordre.

Un grand merci pour ta réponse, plein de choses intéressantes sur ce sujet ! Et un super site donné par Christian ("grand illusions") avec des plein de choses pour lesquelles je craque ! Du coup, je crois reconnaître dans la routine commercialisée de Elsdon un polyorama visible dans une vidéo youtube sur le sujet des polyorama, indépendant de la magie. Quelqu'un sait ce qu'apporte l'effet d'Elsdon ? Je veux dire quel est le type de prédiction finale ?

Une petite création qui m'a l'air bien sympa. This incredible piece of storytelling mentalism features a myriorama by Tom Gauld inspired by the works of Laurence Sterne. Twelve picture cards which can be arranged to form 479,001,600 different landscapes. The twelve beautiful picture cards are examined and mixed and then a participant chooses the exact order in which he wants to place the cards to create a random landscape and totally unique (479,001,600 different possibilities!) story. The performer gives the participant a personal reading based upon his choices before directing the participant’s attention to a sheet of paper which is inside the envelope that the box of cards was in. This sheet is obviously torn from a book, and impossibly it describes the exact landscape the participant has randomly created! He is given this paper as a souvenir of both the reading and the experience. This powerful new routine is available in very limited quantity. It comes complete with the beautiful packet of picture cards (please see the photo below), the prediction paper (plus templates to print your own predictions if you want to give them away, which you should!), and very detailed instructions on the full routine and accompanying reading. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OHr3bkT1lJM/VqYzRhSptEI/AAAAAAAAAJM/Lr47UEvgzhY/s320/Endless_journey_img__62120.1453388233.520.480.png http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-umb-wbi1SPg/VqY05tCHJPI/AAAAAAAAAJU/jeGHOtYgfHM/s320/EJ%2B2a.jpg

Un sujet posté par Martin Pulman sur le café vert ICI. Je ne résiste pas à l'envie de vous le partager tellement j'ai ri et reconnu des choses réalistes dans le "mentalisme" d'aujourd'hui ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SERPENS OLEUM I have been privileged and honoured to recently be blessed with a Skype call from a close friend of mine in the mentalism industry-those who know the real underground stuff will know who I'm talking about. He graciously shared with me an extraordinary new propless technique that will blow your mind, while quite possibly blowing all former techniques out of the water. I begged him not to release it, but he insisted that it was his duty to share his wisdom with a select few within the community, lest that wisdom be lost. I then begged him to put 'S.O.' (Serpens Oleum)at a price point that would place it far out of the hands of the merely curious. He graciously agreed to this request. "S.O." will be a strictly limited edition hardcover of 200 copies, selling for $200 each (which, for workers, is a steal). He has, however, in a fit of crazy generosity, allowed me to share with Café members one effect from this soon to be released masterpiece of our art. It is a Billetless-Name-Guess. The technique is called "Serpens Oleum". The effect is called 'Praenomen'. But I warn you, if you choose to proceed you will be performing something so real, it's unreal. The following is an extract from the upcoming limited edition book "Serpens Oleum" by ****** ******. All TV, radio, internet and other media performance rights are the copyright of the creator. "Yesterday upon the stair, I met a man who wasn't there, he wasn't there again today, I wish that man would go away" - Ancient Gypsy poem. "It was a cold, blustery day. It was raining. The sort of thin, persistent rain that initially makes you think -I don't need an umbrella for that!- but then creeps up on you and soaks you to the skin, leaving you looking like that girl from The Ring getting out of a bathtub. I darted into my favourite local coffee boutique and began blowing the minds of Vera and Brenda, the lovely ladies responsible for vending the frothy bean-derived goodness. In the middle of performing one of my signature pieces ("Shifty Paradigms", "Between Two Cheeks"" or "My Complication of a Classic" - I can't remember which - but they are all included in an unpublished ebook shared among a special, chosen few -you know who you are!!!) I suddenly realised that if I combined all of the techniques I had read that week, I would have a piece of completely prop free mentalism that would re-write the rule book. I asked the younger barista-ress, Brenda, to think of a name of someone she knew. Any name. No restrictions. As long as it wasn't some weird foreign name -a male name common in schools in the North and Midlands of England in the 1990s was what we were after. A few minutes later I had nailed it. She and her co-worker looked at me with what can only be called confused disbelief. And I thought to myself, I have done it; I have performed the REAL THING!!!. I skipped from the coffee emporium, certain that I had crossed the Rubicon without getting my feet wet. I immediately Skyped with one of the "Wrecked Crew" -our merry band of prop-less mental mafia (you know who you are!!! Note: We used to be big fans of Luke Jermay and Peter Turner, but we don't like them now they've gone all mainstream and traditional. Traitors!!!). Anyway, I performed "Praenomen" for ****** ******. He was dumbfounded and looked aghast. "You can't seriously be thinking of releasing that!" he cried. I know, I thought. It's too powerful. It will end up on youtube being performed badly by the merely curious or else it will be all over Chinese websites like a bad mind rash.. I promised to keep it close to my chest and not to mention even a word of its existence outside our tiny clique. Indeed, after the first coffee shop performance, I have never performed it again. But, days have passed since that fateful Skype call -I have held onto the secret for long enough. I feel it is now time to pass on the wisdom to you in the hope that you will care and protect it as much as I have. PRAENOMEN: Effect: Ask your participant to think of a name. Any name. No restrictions (although a male. English name from the 90s is preferable don't worry, you will be able to adapt to your own bizarre languages and countries). With a few verbal sleights and innocuous questions, you immediately name the name they have named only in their mind. No rough and smooth, no marked jeux_de_cartes, no thread, no faffing about with business cards (eurgh!) -Good God man, it's 2016, what are you-an accountant from a 1970s sit-com!!!. It can be performed on-stage, in a parlour (or even a cloakroom), close-up, by Skype (preferred medium), on the telephone, by registered post or via morse code. There are no restrictions.This is the real work. For workers. Method: It is easiest to explain this revolutionary technique by taking you through a real world example. I will use the initial encounter in the coffee shop. Obviously I would begin with 30-45 minutes of pre-chat in which I told the participant anecdotes from my childhood. But, as those are very specific to me, I won't include them here. Please, please, please use your own childhood anecdotes! There is nothing worse than hearing an amateur mentalist repeating someone else's childhood anecdotes verbatim!!! Be yourself for goodness sake! Ok. Onwards. MENTALIST: Can you think of a name of a boy you liked at school. BRENDA: (giggling)Yes, I've got one. MENTALIST: Okay, I want you to think of the year you were born. BRENDA: What's that got to do with the nam-- MENTALIST: --Please! Focus!!! This will only work if we work together on this. OK!!! BRENDA: Sorry. MENTALIST: Forget about it. **** happens. Ok. Focus on the year you were born. Focus on the four digits. BRENDA: I'm doing it. MENTALIST. Now mix those digits up in your mind. Good. Now think of two of those digits. In fact, to make it harder, think of the highest and the lowest digit? BRENDA: Ok-- MENTALIST: Now multiply them, and think of the total. BRENDA: Right. MENTALIST: That is your life number in ancient Xanaduan numerology (I call this their 'Xanadu number'). Do not forget it!!! (I tap in the air above their head every time I say 'Xanadu". This cements the number into their mind. I call this "The Cementadu Principle" You see what we have done. By asking them to focus on the highest and lowest digits we appear to have made it harder for ourselves but in fact we have restricted them to the digits 'one' and 'nine'! Anyone older than seventeen (at time of printing) will have a 'one' and a 'nine' in their birth year: 1982, 1997, 1936. etc. We now know the number they are merely thinking of is 1 X 9= NINE! We are not just one ahead. We are miles ahead!!! NOTE:if they look as if they were born after 1999 (lucky them!), merely ask them to think of the name of someone older than them and ask for THAT person's birth year) MENTALIST: Now, think of how many letters are in the name you are thinking of (if she counts on her fingers you can nail this immediately and go home) Now, is this number higher or lower than your Xanadu number. (tap. Cementadu) BRENDA: Lower. MENTALIST: By how many? BRENDA: Two. (You now know that the name has SEVEN LETTERS!!! but, cunningly, you don't use that information immediately. Instead, you now give them a character reading based on that number. I like to relate the reading to the person they are thinking of. It adds an extra layer of believability.) MENTALIST: That means you are not particularly close to this person. BRENDA: Er…actually,I'm married to them! MENTALIST:No, I mean they are not close to you at the moment. They are not in the coffee shop. BRENDA: No, he's at work. MENTALIST: I thought so. (Do you see how the verbal ambiguity has allowed me to slip seamlessly out of that tricky situation and get a direct hit! Thank you Kenton.) MENTALIST (cont'd): Now, think of the first letter of the name you are thinking of, and think of which number that letter is at in the alphabet. For example, 'A' would be the number 'one'. (If she smiles at this point you have a direct hit. Claim the glory! If not, continue and watch for how long she takes to count to the number in the alphabet. If she takes ages to count to the number it will be a letter later in the alphabet, but don't worry if this misses, it is an advanced technique, and you're going to get her to tell you via the higher/lower subtlety, anyway.) MENTALIST: Is that number higher or lower than your Xanadu number? (Tap. Cementadu.) BRENDA: Higher. MENTALIST:By how many? BRENDA: Nine. MENTALIST: Nine of a difference means that this person doesn't always tidy up after themselves. (Don't worry. I'll explain what I did here. I used the knowledge she leaked about the name being the husband to give a more personalised reading, but this is just cover for the gold. You can give any reading at this point-or maybe perform a drawing duplication based on the number. In any event, you now know the letter is "R". It is the 18th letter of the alphabet and 18 is 9 higher than the number 9!!! Note, you can do this for all letters of the alphabet bar 'I' which is the same number as the Xanadu number. If they say the numbers are the same, you can claim an incredible coincidence and end the effect there, if you choose! Personally, I would keep going-greater wonders are to come. (You know the name has seven letters and starts with R. You are home free) MENTALIST (cont'd): Okay, focus on the name. See it as if he is the star of a film at your local multi-plex… (She focuses) MENTALIST: I see an 'E'! BRENDA: No. (Always do a miss-call at this point. It makes the effect seem real and silences any doubts they may have had about the previous questions. It also builds up a big finale). MENTALIST No. It looks like a capital E gone wrong with an added loop, a drooping middle and the bottom bit fallen off. It's an 'R'. BRENDA: (excited): yes!!! MENTALIST: Tell 'Richard' to pick up his smelly socks!!! Back of the net!!! As long as you know the first letter and the number of letters you should be able to name any name. But if you are stuck you could always use a billet to get the second letter, or ask for the name of an animal starting with the letter before, or get them to place down some playing cards or something. If that all fails, just tell them that it doesn't work on unimaginative people and segue into a sure-fire effect like Scotch and Soda.. *** Since writing this I have realised an even stronger "out". I would ask the participant to walk with me into the corner as if we are about to have an argument, and would then use the "Dunninger Ploy" to get the name. (See 'Psychological Subtleties' by Banachek. If you don't know this Ploy, give up the game. It kills!!!) Now, all that remains is to just Re-frame the whole thing. Please do not skip this part. It could scupper all of your previous good work. Believe me, Re-framing covers your tracks and means that the effect will grow exponentially in the re-telling. MENTALIST: I asked you to think of a name; I didn't ask a single question and yet I named your thought. BRENDA: Er, actually-- Quickly leave. A miracle. That is PRAENOMEN. Use it wisely." Stunning, right!!! I actually feel slightly embarrassed for anyone still using a ****** or a **********. There are six other incredible effects using the SO principle, including a billet-less Hippity Hoppity Rabbits, a revolutionary Mindreader As Spectator effect in which you tell the participant to read your mind then heckle them when they can't, and a stunning effect in which you turn night into day (this one only works at certain times of the day but when it hits it's a killer!). The material is suitable for both close-up and stage, but really, who does stage these days with all that scriptwriting and rehearsal and entertaining the public hoo-hah. No, coffee shops and bedroom Skype sessions are where the real work is being done these days!!! As I said, this will be a strictly limited release in hardback (the unlimited download will come in six months time if all the books are sold by then.)

Une nette amélioration de l'utilisation des anagrammes progressifs par notre ami du Jerx http://www.thejerx.com/blog/2016/10/5/transgressive-anagrams

"Odyssey" apporte des améliorations et un gimmick travaillé, mais prend en effet une partie de sa source mécanique dans l'effet "Transit".

Ah, la fameuse théorie du complot...

Je crois que Gilbus a tout bien résumé en ce qui concerne ce sujet...

Merci, c'est ce que je vais faire !

Il va bien, il s'occupe des enfants

Merci, circonférence de mon index = 62 mm, donc du coup tu conseilles 11 ou 12 ? Une taille ou deux tailles de plus ? Et faut-il mieux, niveau manips, porter la bague à l'index ou à l'annulaire ?

Personne ne peut m'apporter une réponse claire ? A partir du diamètre du doigt, en mm, quelle taille choisir ? Sur le site de Ludo, je vois ça: Taille 8 (18 mm) Taille 9 (19 mm) Taille 10 (20 mm) Taille 11 (21 mm) Taille 12 (22 mm) Taille 13 (23 mm) Mais mon doigt fait 62 mm... Que choisir ?

A partir de 5'28, la magie inversée, j'adore le concept... L'échec de la réussite

Alors j'arrive après la bataille, je n'ai pas lu tous vos échanges sur le sujet... Pour résumer, quelle taille choisir ?

C'est de l'humour bien sûr !

Succès mérité, bravo Fabien !

En effet, c'est comme ça qu'on règle les malentendus mis en place par des petits trolls no-life sans cou***es qui n'assument pas Et en plus, j'ai commandé Influence Plein d'idées en tête !

Bon, nous venons de nous expliquer avec Mickaël. Il y a eu un malentendu. Ce Pat Roberts a cherché à me nuire en parlant de moi sachant que je n'ai rien envoyé ni déconseillé ce tour à personne. Mickaël a compris mon ressenti, et moi le sien, donc tout est réglé et les mauvaises langues peuvent rentrer chez eux

Mais je n'ai jamais dit "je vous le déconseille", Mickaël... Tu dis n'importe quoi. Affaire close, on ne se comprendra pas.

Je me le donne moi même mon point Godwin, et je l'assume, tellement l'accusation est grossière et me blesse.

Alors, déjà, si tout ce que dit ce "Pat Roberts" était vrai ("il me l'a déconseillé"), cela ne veut en aucun cas dire que je lui ai transmis la vidéo. Merci de faire la nuance, Mickaël. Ensuite, jamais je n'ai envoyé de vidéo à qui que ce soit. Voici comment cela s'est déroulé. 1/ je pose une question: "peut-on choisir la carte à forcer ?" 2/ Alexis m'envoie une vidéo explicative afin de me faire mon avis, comme nous échangeons souvent sur facebook. 3/ je dis ici que la carte est fixée, et que bien que cela soit extrêmement bien conçu par MC, ce n'est pas pour moi car j'avais une autre idée d'application. 4/ je me fais enguirlander par Mickaël, et accuser d'avoir envoyé la vidéo à ce Pat Roberts alors que je n'en ai rien fait. Je l'ai visionnée une fois et c'est tout. Tout cela se transforme selon Mickaël en : "bouh friboudi c'est un méchant comme Alexis, il a envoyé la vidéo de mon tour à un gars qui du coup veut pas l'acheter, et les autres de me tomber dessus et de me juger alors qu'ils ne me connaissent même pas"... J'ai ma conscience tranquille, et je n'aurais pas aimé croiser Mickaël ou d'autres qui commentent sur ce fil pendant la guerre 39-45

Mickaël, tu m'accuses gratuitement pour quelque chose que je n'ai pas fait. Je serai curieux de connaître ce Pat Robertsil... Je n'ai jamais rien expliqué à personne. Cette personne ment, donc. J'ai reçu la vidéo par Alexis, car nous discutons souvent, et c'est tout. Je n'ai pas diffusé cette vidéo et l'ai gardée pour moi. Merci de corriger ton post qui m'accuse injustement et de façon diffamatoire.
