Ebook - Word of Mind by Terri Rogers
Description & Effect
Unleash Pure Mind-Reading with Word of Mind
Imagine possessing the power to delve into a spectator's innermost thoughts and pluck out a word they've merely imagined. With Terri Rogers' "Word of Mind," this astonishing feat becomes a tangible reality. A theatrical review sheet, filled with hundreds of words across various articles, is presented to a participant. They are asked to freely choose any single word – there are absolutely no restrictions, no forces, and crucially, they never write it down. The word exists solely within their mind, a private thought.
The Ultimate Freedom of Choice, Revealed
Once the spectator has silently committed their word to memory, you, the mentalist, begin a focused concentration. Slowly, deliberately, and with incredible precision, you begin to reveal their unspoken selection, letter by letter. The effect is breathtakingly direct and utterly bewildering. What makes "Word of Mind" truly remarkable is its instant repeatability. After one word has been astonishingly revealed, the spectator can immediately choose an entirely different word, and you can repeat the mind-reading effect with equal potency, leaving audiences speechless and thoroughly convinced of your extraordinary abilities.
Effortless Mastery, Devastating Impact
The genius behind "Word of Mind" lies in its deceptive simplicity and ingenious methodology. This isn't about complex memorization or difficult sleight of hand. Terri Rogers has crafted a truly self-working miracle utilizing an incredibly clever system of interlocking anagrams. The "crib sheet" – your secret weapon – is ingeniously embedded and seamlessly disguised within the theatrical review sheet itself. This means that once you've spent a short time familiarizing yourself with its elegant design, you're instantly ready to perform. "Word of Mind" is simple to learn, effortless to perform, and delivers an impact that is nothing short of devastating, making it a perfect addition for any performer seeking to add truly impossible mentalism to their repertoire.
Original Specs
A spectator is handed a theatrical review sheet and is asked to choose one of the hundreds of words that make up the various articles. There is no restriction of choice and the word is not written down. It is merely thought of by the spectator.
When the spectator is ready the mentalist begins to concentrate and slowly, letter by letter, reveals the mentally chosen word. It is that direct. A spectator things of a word and you reveal it. The spectator can choose a different word and you can repeat the effect right away.
Simple to learn, simple to perform, devastating in effect. What more could you ask?
[Note: This effect uses interlocking anagrams to determine the chosen word. The crib sheet is cleverly built into the theatrical review sheet. This effect is therefore literally self-working. No memorization required. Once you have familiarized yourself with the crib sheet and how it is embedded into the theatrical review sheet you are ready to perform it.]
