It’s not a center tear. It’s not a peek. It’s not cold reading. It’s pure Kenton magic. For those in the know, when Kenton releases a standalone effect, you can bet it’s something that stands out in a world full of smoke and mirrors. BURNING DESIRE is one of those rare gems that’s too good to pass up.
Effect
Imagine this: you help a participant supercharge a desire, turning it into a tangible reality. While you’re nonchalantly turned away, they jot down their secret wish, infuse it with energy, and then—get this—they ignite a piece of paper with one of five lighters, sending their desire up in smoke. Quite literally.
When you turn back around, you’re able to dive deep into the feelings surrounding that desire, even calling out the exact color of their aura, which, coincidentally, matches the lighter they chose to burn the paper!
NO peeks, NO switches, NO center tears, and absolutely NO shenanigans.
You turn around and just *know*.
But wait, there’s more! You can also have someone pick a lighter out of a bunch, and from the other room, you instantly nail which one they chose. That’s some serious mind-bending stuff.
NO electronics, NO stooges, and NO sneaky glimpses or shiners. YES, it’s foolproof—pun totally intended.
Feeling generous? You can even gift the lighter as a memento, helping the participant keep their burning desire fresh in their minds.
This effect works with COMMON, STANDARD DISPOSABLE LIGHTERS. No need to hunt down exotic brands or special lighters. Grab a Bic or Scripto, and you’re good to go with all the related tricks.
This is a solid piece of mentalism that leaves a lasting impression and, trust me, it’s a breeze to perform. It’s managed to stump some of the big names in mentalism who were expecting the usual peeks and switches. Spoiler alert: they got nothing.
You can execute this as a center tear-style effect—without ever doing a center tear! Kenton has left many baffled because mentalists think they know what’s coming. But nope! He just turns around and starts revealing feelings and energies without even getting close to the secret note. You’ll absolutely nail it too.
Plus, you’ll get a treasure trove of presentational angles along with the main effect and methods, including:
- Desire Revelation
- Aura or Chakra Reading
- Self-Empowerment Tool
- Mind Reading
- Personality Reading
- Meditational Mind Reading
This effect can be performed in any setting: one-on-one, close-up, stand-up, living rooms, or even on stage. The possibilities are endless, and yes, it’s EASY to pick up and perform.
The routines dig into the feelings and desires of your audience, making the experience personal and unforgettable.
Feel free to use as many lighters as your heart desires, or just a handful.
And don’t sweat it if you find yourself in a venue where flames are a no-go; this effect doesn’t hinge on actual fire. A symbolic act of burning does the trick just perfectly.
