From the mind of David Jonathan, the brain behind the hit effect, Fortuity, comes RudiMental. This delightful collection of self-working (or semi-automatic, if you fancy) effects has one glorious theme: the spectator gets to bask in the limelight, taking all the credit for the jaw-dropping moments they just conjured up. RudiMental is chock-full of unique effects, most of which are hands-off. They’re easy to perform but pack a deceptive punch. At the heart of each routine lies a practical, time-tested method that’s been given a cheeky modern twist.
Each effect is outfitted with a snazzy presentation script, oodles of detailed photos, and a smorgasbord of extra tips, ideas, and sneaky subtleties. Alongside the 55-page booklet, RudiMental is a multimedia bonanza with links to nearly 1 hour of streaming video. This brings you an in-depth walkthrough of how to nail the key elements of each routine without breaking a sweat.
The following effects are included:
SERIAL SENSE
A fresh spin on the classic bill serial number divination, where the participant nails the serial number of their own random note. It feels so fair and straightforward that you’ll wonder how they didn’t see through it.
COUNTING CHANGE
A nearly self-working ACAAN/Open Prediction effect that juggles coins and cards in an engaging presentation. This quirky little number ends cleanly, and the performer doesn’t even touch the cards. It’s based on an old principle that’s been given a new lease of life, opening doors to possibilities beyond just this effect.
DRAWN INSIDE
A poker demo where the participant selects each card of their hand, only to end up with the absolute best hand in poker. The principle behind this effect is a powerhouse and can be adapted to a variety of other tricks. Plus, there’s an alternate presentation thrown in for good measure.
REFLECTIONS (ACAAN)
One of the fairest and most direct approaches to Any Card At Any Number (ACAAN), sticking closely to the core plot criteria and being completely hands-off. Most ACAAN descriptions sound like, “they name a card, they name a number... they deal down and it’s there,” but when you see it in action, you’ll find a lot of unjustified faff involved. If you picture how an ideal ACAAN should unfold, Reflections delivers. Three versions are covered.
Key Points to Remember: A regular deck is used (and you can often borrow it). It works every single time. The performer never touches the cards. No preshow, no stooges, no accomplices, no crib sheets, no equivocation, no maths or calculations, no memorisation, no stacked decks, and no sneaky switches. The spectator can name ANY card and ANY number they like (proper free choices). They deal the cards themselves and reveal the last card. The deck is in plain sight before the card and number are named. It resets quickly and is a doddle to do.
MANIFEST (ACAAN)
This takes the principles explored in Reflections (ACAAN) and streamlines the handling using some nifty Gimmicks. This results in an ultra-clean, fair, and hands-off ACAAN while still sticking to many of the core plot criteria. The effect starts in the spectator's mind and culminates with their imagination becoming reality.
If you’re after effects that will genuinely leave your audience gobsmacked, whilst still being self-working or semi-automatic and cleverly disguised, then you’ll be chuffed to perform the gems from RudiMental.
