Picture this: A spectator named Jade rolls an imaginary die and decides it's a 3. With her phone, she dives into the vast ocean of Wikipedia, let’s say, on The Beatles. She sees a myriad of links—Liverpool, Rock, John Lennon, Album, you get the picture. As she clicks through, her choices are cataloged like a digital breadcrumb trail.
For instance:
Majority
Statistics
Radio
Species
You then circle the 3rd letter of each word to reveal... you guessed it, JADE. Mind-blowing, right?
Key Points:
This is not an app!
No downloads, no sneaky installs, no updates. Just pure magic in your pocket.
Completely original effect.
Your audience will have never seen anything like it. Stand out from the mind-readers who all seem to be doing the same ol’ thing.
The phone is borrowed.
Perform anywhere, anytime—just grab a spectator’s phone with an internet connection. Easy peasy.
You have nothing to hide.
Akronym flows naturally. All actions happen in plain view. No need to obscure the screen or use any weird tech. Spectators will be none the wiser.
Nothing in your pockets, 7-minute routine.
Leave the props at home. Not even your own phone is required. Close-up? Stage? Unexpected gig? You’re covered with a 7-minute routine ready to roll.
Leave a personalized memento for your spectators.
Tear off the notepad page with the spectator's first name—instant souvenir!
Ideal personalized revelation for a company.
Reveal a company name from a selection of words chosen by different team members. It’s the perfect corporate effect!
Visual effect.
Visuals stick with audiences, and in the world of mentalism, they’re a rare gem. The final reveal of Akronym is a striking image that tells the story all by itself.
