Devin Knight & Al Mann – The Unwritten Thought (official pdf)

Description

THE UNWRITTEN THOUGHT by Devin Knight and Al Mann

A participant is asked to settle on a word in his mind after deciding from several thousand possibilities. He does not look at a list of words, but freely decides on a word in his mind. The performer does not know the exact word the participant is thinking of because he never writes it nor tells the performer the word. The performer will not know the exact word the person is thinking of until he reveals it AFTER the effect is over!

The performer hands the participant a bookmarked dictionary and asks him to open it to the bookmarked page. The performer says he circled a word on that page that will define the word the participant is thinking of. For example, the participant opens the dictionary to the bookmarked page and finds the word ‘beautiful’ circled.

The performer says, “Does that define your word?” The participant says, “Yes.” “What was the word you were thinking of,” the performer says. The participant says, “Pretty.” No dual reality, this is the true effect, and is what the participant and audience sees. Baffling beyond words and uses a little known Al Mann principal.
