Murphy's Magic Supplies, Inc.
Introducing the Navel Gazer - Comedy Mentalism Graphology & Psychometry Routines by Jonathan Royle, available as a Mixed Media DOWNLOAD that seasoned magicians will want to add to their arsenal.
In this no-nonsense instructional video and photo-illustrated PDF, you’ll dive into three killer methods for executing versions of Ted Anneman's Pseudo Psychometry and Fogel's Second Spot routines. If you’ve ever fancied yourself as a mentalist with a twist, this is right up your alley.
Royle spills the beans on the technique he’s showcased on countless television gigs, where five audience members scribble a sentence or proverb on a postcard while he’s got his back turned. Classic, right? But here’s the kicker: once these cards are shuffled up, he employs his unique “Navel Gazing” technique—yes, you read that right—to decode their handwriting and delve into their personalities, pasts, and futures. And just like that, he’s returning the correct cards to the right people. It’s as cheeky as it sounds!
But wait, there’s more! Royle also lays out his method for using five small padded envelopes. Participants can toss in personal objects, and through sheer intuition—along with some body language reading and a good ol’ belly-button inspection—he’s able to match the objects back to the correct individuals. It’s a riot and a surefire way to keep your audience guessing.
And for those of you who want to keep things simple, he’ll show you how to pull off similar routines using just ordinary paper bags. No need for fancy props here—just swing by your local stationery store, grab a few supplies, and you’re ready to go with minimal prep time (think two minutes, tops). Perfect for when your luggage mysteriously decides to take a detour!
And trust us, if you take Royle’s advice on “belly button reading” as a gimmick, you’re looking at one of the funniest and most memorable routines to grace your show—just like the ones you’ll catch in the enclosed performance videos.
These techniques are so reliable that even those with questionable eyesight or working under dim lighting conditions will find them a breeze. Get ready to add some serious flair to your mentalism repertoire!
