Take a moment to read the whole ad. Every word here is TRUE.
If you’re a close-up performer or a serious mentalist, K.E.N.T. is a must-add to your toolkit.
Kenton himself refers to K.E.N.T. as "One of two tools I rely upon for close-up work of any kind, magic or mentalism.”
Picture this... A smart aleck pulls out his own deck of cards and challenges you to prove your abilities. He wants you to show off, without touching the cards, writing anything down, or getting help from others. NO touching, NO marks, and absolutely NO sleight of hand.
NOW WHAT?
With K.E.N.T., you invite the spectator to make it tough and think of one of the cards he just pulled from his own deck—cards you’ve never even seen. You guide him to focus on his thought-of card, and then you NAME HIS CARD, leaving him speechless and convinced you’re the REAL deal. He dares you to reveal his card, and lo and behold, you do just that.
This, my friends, is a true mindblower. It's some seriously POWERFUL stuff. But let's be real—it’s not for everyone. This is as close to actual mind reading as you can get. Like any genuine mind reader, there may be rare occasions when you miss. You should be aware of this upfront. K.E.N.T. is designed for performers. For many of you seasoned pros, given the impossibility of this situation, a rare miss won’t be a dealbreaker. You’d probably fail anyway, so why not have the tools to typically come out on top? Just a heads-up. Pair it with Kolossal Killer, and you’ll be nailing this every time. To be transparent, the effect is that you name the entire card. In reality, you name the rank or number without the suit, but thanks to the clever psychology at play, it appears you’ve named both the rank and suit.
You should also note that this is framed around English and American English and American playing cards, which could impact your performance. If you and your audience generally communicate in English, you’re golden. If not, you may need to tweak the concept to fit other languages. We believe in being upfront about these details.
With that in mind, Kenton calls this and "Killer" his "lifeblood of close-up and mentalism" with cards, and we’ve had thrilled English-speaking clients around the globe.
K.E.N.T. is essential for any close-up card worker who faces spectators eager to challenge you to reveal their thought-of card. NOW YOU WILL.
For the mentalist tasked with proving the "impossible," this tool is a must-have in your arsenal.
With some practice, you can perform K.E.N.T. over the radio, phone, or even the Internet if you fancy.
Once K.E.N.T. is in your repertoire, you'll find you need nothing else. Just a spectator's mind and their own deck of cards, along with the special secrets revealed in K.E.N.T. And with the new bonus methods, you don’t even need cards—just a person's mind!
We TOLD you this felt like the real thing.
Includes how Kenton incorporates K.E.N.T. into a One Behind or One Ahead effect as well.
An incredible tool at a steal of a price. Check it out. It might take a bit of guts and/or acting, but we think it’s well worth it.
2010 Edition includes BONUS MATERIAL:
- Sean Waters’ Version allows people to only THINK of cards in their minds—no physical cards needed. This is THE pure mentalist version.
- David J. Greene’s Version utilizes cards only imagined in the mind of a client, mixed with humor and a sealed prediction to grab the attention of prospective clients, whether live or via mail. David has used this to entice people into booking his comedy mentalism performances, as well as in real-world business.
These versions employ actual suggestion...we kid you not.
BOTH of these bonus items, along with new prompts integrated into the original manuscript and additional notes, make for an exciting new iteration of this essential classic.
No mentalist (or close-up worker, for that matter) should be caught without it.
We HIGHLY recommend you grab the Kolossal Killer PDF download if you haven’t yet, as it meshes perfectly with this item—you never know when you might need it too.
