Most mentalism lectures are like watching paint dry—lots of theory, abstract concepts, and the same old “thought reveals” on repeat. But Beyond Mentalism by Radek Hoffman flips that script. Filmed in stunning high definition by Thomas, the brains behind the leading French magic platform Virtual Magie, this project is a masterclass in practical, punchy, and visually striking mentalism.
Radek Hoffman—an ace creator with a solid track record of killer books and effects in the Murphy's catalog—brings you his actual working repertoire. These aren’t just ideas plucked from thin air; every single routine has been road-tested in real-world situations, fine-tuned, and optimised for maximum psychological and visual impact.
What sets this lecture apart? Radek takes a fresh look at how to reveal thoughts. Forget the usual predictable and ho-hum reveals; he shares clever principles and staging techniques that transform classic effects into unforgettable, visually stunning experiences. If you’re ready to stop merely “doing tricks” and start crafting core memories for your audience, this project is your new secret weapon (you’re welcome).
Featured Routines:
IMAGINATION TEST (Drawing Divination): The spectator thinks of a random object and draws it from a sketchbook. Through a lively process of genuine mind-reading, you duplicate their image on your notepad. But Radek doesn’t stop there: the crumpled drawing paper suddenly lights up before being tossed to the audience. A classic revamped with a jaw-dropping climax. Perfect as an opener: direct, quick, and highly surprising.
MANIPULATION (Book Test meets Chair Test): A bold and fascinating mashup of a Book Test and a Chair Test. The spectator makes a series of entirely free choices, leading to an impossible prediction. This routine is ultra-engaging, features a brilliant unexpected double-climax, and is ideal for both parlour and stage.
CRIME SCENE (The Murder Mystery): Based on the classic Murder Party concept, the mentalist invites audience members to assume the roles of a victim, witness, and murderer. All choices are made while the mentalist is out of the loop, guaranteeing zero knowledge of the roles. Remarkably, this routine requires no envelopes, no marked cards, and no tech—just a revolutionary method that allows you to instantly identify who’s who, the crime location, time, and weapon used—building incredible dramatic tension.
ULTIMATE CARD CALLING (The Thought-of Card Revelation): A devastating twist on the classic Card Calling routine. The spectator freely selects and shuffles several cards. Without any memory work, switches, or marked cards, you reveal every single card they’re thinking of, one by one. It’s extremely easy to perform but delivers an ultra-convincing illusion of unrestricted thought reading.
BONUS - THE WORKER (Multi-Phase Routine): A powerhouse multi-phase routine performed with a borrowed, shuffled deck of cards. Packed with constant surprises and final kickers, this is a complete psychological experience crafted for real-world conditions—a true “worker” you’ll want to add to your repertoire immediately.
