Clearly Mental!
by B.W. McCarron
Clearly Mental! contains 11 entertaining mental routines, including a subtlety used by one of America's most prominent performers to ensure that a beautiful woman is selected as a volunteer!
In this book, McCarron explains not only routines, but 30 additional ideas for coming up with your own custom-crafted effects.
- The Name Game - Reveal the names two spectators are trying hard not to think of!
- Easy Money - Two spectators take turns attempting to exchange their $1 bill for a $5, $20, or $100 bill!
- Autograph Party - Audience members write the names of their favorite celebrities on billets. These are collected and one is drawn in random fashion. The mentalist reveals all. Can be instantly repeated with a different result!
- Three On A Match - Ten spectators draw folded slips bearing the numbers 1, 2, or 3. The mentalist reveals the total of the numbers, then identifies who drew what number!
- She's Clearly Beautiful - Guarantees that the most beautiful lady in the audience is selected as a volunteer without hurting the feelings of others who would like to participate.
- Hyp Pointer - Routine of pseudo hypnotism. Or an insidious way to invite multiple stooges to the stage from an apparently fair selection process.
- Russian Roulette - Secret agent themed game of pseudo Russian Roulette.
- Turn Of A Friendly Card - Three cards are selected that match the performer's previously mailed prediction.
- I've Got Your Number - Two spectators and a psychic telephone operator reveal the future of customer service. A great effect for corporate shows.
- Telepathic Juke Box - A telepathic jukebox of the future that plays the mentally selected songs of two spectators.
- The Only Good Apple Book Test - Three spectators select words from an unprepared book. They match the performer's prediction! This effect previously sold for $15 by itself.
Also included is a step-by-step method, illustrated with numerous photographs, for constructing a three-chambered clear forcing bag. McCarron's force bags have been used on TV by numerous performers. He shares his manufacturing secrets for the first time.
