Should a Mentalist use playing cards?
Good question and one which has been raging among Mentalists since Annemann was still going strong.
In this book I have tried to address that question and in doing so have put together some of my favourite Mentalism card routines, covering effects with borrowed decks, stacked decks and gaffed decks and cards.
You’ll find no knuckle busting sleight of hand here; instead I have included some of my own routines taken straight from my professional mentalism repertoire, many of which no other magicians have seen until now.
Some of the ideas are based on old effects given a new twist, but others are exclusive to me and were designed using tried and tested methods.
The contents include:
The Psychology of Cards in Mentalism (A Discussion)
Borrowed Deck Effects (Singled Out, Two’s Company,The Un-Tossed out Deck, Just Think Me)
Stacked For Stand-up (Blindfold Card Calling,Trilogy,The Giant Un-Tossed Out Deck)
Gaffed Effects (Memory Integrated Selective Trigger, Doppleganger)

“I really enjoyed this publication. Scott Creasey is a clever thinker and I am sure you will find something that you can use. Also, his advice is invaluable. And finally, you do not need to be a mentalist to use and appreciate these routines. A good trick is a good trick, no matter what.” – Peter Duffie, Magic Magazine
