Bill Montana – Pulse

THE BASIC EFFECT: The performer and a spectator’s hearts beat the same.

You will need nothing but the instructions in this manuscript to perform this effect of professional mentalism.

THE ADVANCED EFFECT: The performer and the audience’s hearts will beat the same. The current record is over 300 people whose hearts have beaten in unison. The group version of this effect is difficult although it can be done.

A note on this effect: This effect is not pulse stopping or how to slow down your pulse. The performers and the spectator’s hearts will beat the same. This is one of the finest effects for bizarre or unusual magic ever. It is so outstanding you will even be fool yourself.



‘One of the best mental effects EVER! Pulse, is one of the most brilliant principles I’ve ever encountered in mentalism, and since I literally wrote one of the best-known books on the subject, you will perhaps welcome my endorsement of this splendid item.’

– Marvin Kaye



‘PULSE is a strong piece of business with infinite potential. The premise of two (or more!) hearts beating as one is worth the very modest price of this manuscript by itself. Bill Montana has stumbled onto something very special here. What a discovery! It’s easy to see why Montana kept this little piece quiet; it really is powerful and beautiful while also being very subtle. I liked PULSE so much that I contacted Bill immediately to ask him for special permission to include it in a forthcoming work of mine. It’s that good! My recent test runs with this phenomena have been quite revealing. For those who truly understand the power of ‘PULSE’, the sky is the limit. This simple but effective routine will give practitioners an incredibly potent tool for creating rapport on levels most have never approached or imagined before. As part of a signature effect of mine (a multi-phase showpiece and deeply connected experience) I see few things being stronger. To say that ‘PULSE’ has opened doors to incredible possibilities would be a gross understatement. For the price and what it allows, this one is a NO-BRAINER!’
