The Mind Pro Set is a slick, 20-minute self-contained close-up Mentalism extravaganza, crafted for those moments when spatial awareness is key (you know, when everyone’s trying to avoid touching things like they’re contagious).
As the world tiptoes back to 'normal', mentalists face the delightful challenge of performing close-up magic without turning into a human table. Enter Luca Volpe, Paul McCaig, and Alan Wong, who’ve whipped up five stunning Mentalism routines that are visually engaging and don't require a table or any awkward prop handling by your audience. So, you can get up close and personal without the paranoia of invading their bubble (and definitely lowering the risk of germ transfer).
The props are tough cookies, designed to be easily wiped down between performances and conveniently tucked into the Mind Pro Set wallet. You can run through all five routines in a seamless set or cherry-pick your favourites to jazz up your existing repertoire.
The routines included are:
Color-Test: A snappy, visual opener where a participant clips the lone red card hidden among four green ones. Spoiler alert: their perception takes a cheeky tumble!
Nite-Sight: A bank night-style routine featuring three coloured envelopes and pre-printed 'YOURS' and 'MINE' cards. One or two lucky audience members get to guess which card is theirs, leaving the other for you. They’ll nail it, but what’s that? The one left for you has a cheeky little $100 note in it! (Currency not included... you’ll need to dig into your own stash!)
DTC-Lite: Remember the buzz around the DTC deck? Well, it’s back in ‘Lite’ form! This nifty version fits snugly in your wallet and is just as easy to memorise (we promise it’s not rocket science!). You’ll learn how to perform classic routines without your audience ever laying a finger on the cards.
Target-Word: A classic Mentalism feat with a twist. Using any pocket-sized book (yep, any book, in any language, so go wild), you’ll demonstrate how to choose a 'target word'. As they call out the most unusual word, you’ll have your audience check your social media, where—shock horror!—you’ve already predicted their choice! This is one of those routines that’ll have your clients coming back for more!
Photo-Wave: A straightforward yet impactful routine! Present a selection of picture cards and let an audience member freely choose one. Then, reveal that every other card has a large printed 'X' on the back. To cap it off, their chosen card also has an 'X', but this one’s a different colour. It’s like a little ‘Brainwave’ effect without all the sticky stuff and awkward rough and smooth!
Beyond these five gems, you’ll also snag a double-sided card featuring two optical illusion images, perfect for showcasing just how easily our minds can be fooled (cheers, brain!).
All the beautifully printed cards come in a snazzy holder that fits right in your pocket. Plus, there’s a top-quality thumb tip (stored in a clear holder with a loop—because why not?), some extra blank cards for the 'Nite-Sight' routine (personalise these in your own language), a Sharpie marker, and an elegant spiral notepad to jot down your genius ideas.
With proper care, these high-quality cards will stick around for a lifetime! The explanation video is recorded in a "lecture style", so you can soak up performance tips and detailed explanations from Luca, Paul, and Alan.
