From the mind that brought you the hit effect Fortuity, David Jonathan presents RudiMental. This isn’t just a collection of tricks; it’s a playground of self-working and semi-automatic effects where your spectators become the stars of their own magical show. They get all the glory for the little miracles they think they just pulled off.
Inside RudiMental, you’ll find a smorgasbord of unique effects, most of which are hands-off (hands where we can see them, please). The methods are straightforward but oh-so-deceptive, based on tried-and-true principles that have been given a fresh twist.
Each effect comes complete with a snazzy presentation script, an abundance of detailed photos, and a treasure trove of tips and subtleties to sweeten the deal. And it wouldn't be David Jonathan without a multimedia experience—this 55-page eBook includes links to nearly 1 hour of streaming video for those who prefer to watch and learn (because who reads instructions, anyway?).
Here’s a taste of what’s inside:
SERIAL SENSE A novel spin on the classic bill serial number divination where your participant ends up predicting the serial number of their own random bill. It’s so fair and clean, you’ll be wondering if you’ve accidentally stumbled into a magic convention for fairies.
COUNTING CHANGE This nearly self-working ACAAN/Open Prediction effect is a delightful mash-up of coins and cards, complete with a presentation that's more engaging than your last family gathering. The best part? You don’t even touch the cards, and it finishes clean—and you might even find new ways to use the old principles in your arsenal.
DRAWN INSIDE Picture a poker demonstration where your participant genuinely chooses every card in their hand and somehow ends up with the royal flush. The principle at play here is powerful, with potential applications that extend far beyond this one effect. An alternate presentation is also included for extra fun.
REFLECTIONS (ACAAN) Get ready for one of the fairest and most straightforward takes on Any Card At Any Number (ACAAN) you’ll ever encounter. Forget the often convoluted rigmarole; this one is hands-off, and you’ll love how it delivers on the core criteria of the plot. Need we remind you? A normal deck is used (borrowed in many cases), and you never touch the cards. No preshow, no stooges, no accomplices, no crib sheets, no math, no memorization, no stacked decks, and no deck switches. Spectators name ANY card and ANY number they wish, and they’re the ones dealing the cards. Resetting is a breeze, and it’s a cakewalk to perform.
MANIFEST (ACAAN) This one takes the principles from Reflections and sprinkles in some Gimmicks for an ultra-clean, hands-off ACAAN that still meets most of the essential criteria. The magic begins in the spectator's mind and culminates with their imagination becoming reality.
If you’re on the hunt for effects that will leave your audience slack-jawed while still being self-working or semi-automatic and cleverly disguised, then you’re in for a treat with RudiMental.
