Description & Effect
The Ultimate Thought-Reading Experience: Traits and Emotions
Imagine having the uncanny ability to pluck a single thought directly from someone's mind, a thought they've never uttered, a private observation about another person's character. With "Traits and Emotions" by Arthur Kurzweil, this becomes your reality. This exceptional mentalism routine allows you to reveal a spectator's secretly chosen trait or emotion, selected from a comprehensive list of 100 possibilities, all without a single word being spoken. It's a profound demonstration of mind-reading that leaves audiences speechless and genuinely mystified.
A Genuinely Free and Silent Choice
The power of "Traits and Emotions" lies in its deceptive simplicity and the complete freedom it offers your participant. They begin by silently thinking of someone they know—a friend, family member, or even a public figure. You then present ten specially designed cards, each listing a variety of human traits and emotions. The spectator privately scans these 100 options and selects the one that best describes the person they are envisioning. Crucially, they never whisper, write, or indicate their choice in any overt way. Through a clever, seemingly random series of card exchanges and shuffles, you subtly gain the information you need, while the secret remains entirely within their mind.
Effortless Mastery, Unforgettable Impact
"Traits and Emotions" is designed for maximum impact with minimum effort. This routine is practically self-working, eliminating the need for complex memorization, tedious calculations, or "fishing" for information. It guarantees a 100% success rate, ensuring you deliver a flawless performance every time. The method, an ingeniously enhanced and simplified system based on Bill Pryor's original concept, is so streamlined that even a beginner can perform it with confidence, yet it's sophisticated enough to fool seasoned mentalists. All elements are fully examinable, adding another layer of authenticity to your performance.
What You Receive
Your purchase includes ten high-quality, specially printed cards (approximately 4.5"x5.5") that are integral to the routine. You'll also gain exclusive access to an online video tutorial featuring detailed instruction by Arthur Kurzweil himself, alongside Meir Yedid. This comprehensive tutorial ensures you master every nuance of the performance, allowing you to present this powerful piece of mentalism with confidence and precision. As acclaimed mentalist Jeff McBride states, "A diabolical method combined with an angelic plot... a welcome addition to the modern Mentalist tool kit."
Original Specs
We all have traits, emotions, and characteristics that are personal to us. Everyone we ever met also has specific traits that make them unique.
This routine begins with having your friend think of any person that they know something about. It could be a friend, a relative, an acquaintance or someone famous. You then show them ten cards which have a list of 100 different human traits and emotions. You have them look over the 100 emotions and traits and find the one that most reminds them of the person they are thinking of.
They then take the card with that trait and put it on your palm, followed with all the other cards, which are mixed by you and by them. You then flip the cards over and have them look for the trait or emotion they are thinking of. Once again, they hand the card to you followed by all the others and they are all shuffled. At this point you already know the word they are thinking of, and you can reveal it anyway you like.
Practically self-working, no memorization, no fishing, a free choice of 100 words, the person never says anything, everything is examinable, works 100% of the time, based on a system by Bill Pryor which has been greatly enhanced and simplified.
Comes complete with the ten special cards (around 4.5"x5.5") and access to an online video tutorial by Arthur Kurzweil and Meir Yedid. A Meir Yedid Magic Product.
