Unveiling the Secrets of a Mentalism Master

A Glimpse into the Devil's Repertoire
The repertoire within is diverse and captivating. Imagine performing "The Invisible Guest," an astonishing prediction woven into a story created collaboratively with your spectator, or "Time to Sleep," where you extract real details from a viewer’s imagined dream. Explore the intriguing "Illusion of Hypnosis," where a perfectly straight fork appears to bend before their eyes, or the formidable "Bending a Hacksaw," a spectacular stage rendition of classic mental bending. Other highlights include: "Finger Prediction," "007," an innovative "Test with Chairs," "Game with Fingers," "Rock Paper Scissors" (where you always win or draw!), "Three Objects," "Thought Cloud" (a sophisticated book test), "Red or Green" color prediction, "An Amazing Prediction of a Symbol," a stage version of A.S.A.N., "Exhausted" (a pencil levitation effect), "Pure AKKAN," the improvisational "Self-Rotating Spoon," "Thermokinesis," and the ingenious "Unknown Caller" (a personalized phone number revelation).
Beyond the Routine: A Complete Guide
Beyond individual effects, Tikheyich shares invaluable insights into "Preshow" strategies, gleaned from his collaboration with Swedish consultants from "Phenomenon." This book isn't just a collection of tricks; it's a holistic guide to understanding, performing, and truly mastering the art of mentalism, offering ready-to-use material that promises to astound any audience.

Content:
Preface by the author.
Natural Barista
Repertoire:
“The Invisible Guest”
An amazing prediction from a story that you come up with together with your viewer, filling it with details.
“Finger Prediction”
You predict which finger the viewer will choose on his hand.
“Time to sleep”
The viewer mentally falls into a dream, imagining the details that surround him, you take out from his dream real things that he names. It’s like “A Nightmare on Elm Street”
“007” – You predict a character that the viewer chooses from many others.
“Test with chairs” is an interesting interpretation of the classic effect with chairs.
“The illusion of hypnosis” is one of the most amazing effects of pseudo-hypnosis. The viewer looks at a perfectly straight fork, but describes it as if it were bending right before his eyes. The fork remains absolutely straight the entire time.
“Game with fingers” – The mentalist, several times in a row, accurately guesses how many fingers the viewer is showing behind his back or in his jacket pocket.
Rock Paper Scissors – The performer plays this classic game with the audience and always wins or draws!
“Three Objects” – The mentalist guesses which of three different objects the viewer is secretly thinking of.
“Thought Cloud” – The Mentalist places a fortune wallet on the table. The viewer independently chooses absolutely any page in the book and thinks of the first word in it.
The mentalist guesses this word. In the finale, the viewer watches the prediction, which has always been on the table, in which the word from the book intended by the viewer is written.
“Preshow” – The author’s thoughts on the topic of the preshow in collaboration with the Swedish consultants of the show “Phenomenon”
“Red or green” – color prediction.
“An amazing prediction of a symbol” – The viewer freely chooses one of five symbols, but the mentalist predicts its attack with absolute accuracy!
A.S.A.N. – Stage version.
“Bending a hacksaw” – Everyone is used to mentalists bending spoons or coins. How about a huge hacksaw? A wonderful stage version of the classic bending in mentalism.
“Exhausted” – You hypnotize the viewer and he is not able to lift a pencil.
“Pure AKKAN” – My version of the classic effect, which in my opinion is the purest for today. With an additional effect.
“Self-Rotating Spoon” – A great addition to your spoon bending routine. Just imagine, you take a spoon in your fist and it begins to rotate itself, twisting into a spiral. No gimmicks. Completely improvised.
“Thermokinesis” – you force ordinary metal to heat up to a very high temperature with the power of your thoughts.
“Unknown Caller” – The viewer comes up with any phone number right from his head. You dial this number directly from his smartphone. And there’s a ringtone in your pocket. It turns out the viewer just came up with your personal phone number. You pick up the phone and jokingly talk to the viewer who has reached you.
