"I love this! I've used the 100th Monkey on TV to great success. There's so much that can be done with it! I look forward to using these effects in my repertoire in the future."
- Cyril

"Fantastic! The one-ahead envelope ploy is very, very, very, very (did I say very?) ingenious. Lovely. Your work stands on itself and when that happens, rare..."
- Banachek

This download set comes packed with an instructional video, gimmicked postcards, gimmicked envelopes, a PDF of written instructions, and over 400 JPEGs of gimmicked artwork that you can print at home in various sizes.

You DON'T need the original 100th Monkey to pull off these effects.

Babel: Your spectators can read words in a selection of languages: Spanish, French, Greek, German, Italian, Russian, Danish, Filipino, Finnish, and Swahili! Want to verify? Have someone pull up Google Translate on their phone, use a translation dictionary, or ask an unsuspecting linguist in the crowd. Xenoglossia—the sudden ability to read or speak foreign languages—is an ancient marvel that even the Catholic Church has pondered over for signs of sainthood or demonic shenanigans.

One Monkey Ahead: A potentially disruptive take on the one-ahead principle that lets you seal your impressions in a clearly-labeled envelope, set it aside, and never look back! With a plethora of variations including Mental Epic and 4th Dimensional Telepathy-style routines, as well as envelope-less options where the words are penned on the back of labeled cards. Super clean and absolutely potent mentalism!

Person, Place and Thing. And Monkey: You lay out a series of labeled images depicting various locations (Germany, Suburbs, Forest, College...). A spectator secretly picks one and imagines that they’re there, with some object in sight. You guide them through an astral projection journey to this locale, detailing it with such precision that you actually name the object they’re thinking of! (No fishing, no scribbling, and definitely no pre-show nonsense).

PLUS, snag a bonus effect if you register for updates: The Murderous Monkey! You present ten cards with "Pick your poison" written on the back. A spectator chooses one, while the rest are flipped to show each one bears a different deadly poison’s name. The chosen card is then revealed to say "Cupcake"!

"Chris Philpott has done something rather remarkable, first with Hundredth Monkey and now with Babel: he has created a new methodological principle! These effects are astoundingly good, and the method allows you complete freedom and flexibility to focus on presentation. I am an enormous fan of this genre of effects and I look forward to all his latest developments."
- Joshua Jay

"I was lucky to test these wonderful tools before release and they are absolutely ingenious! Working on a cruise ship, I tried Babel with people from different countries - they were so entertained that the passengers kept on talking about it all week! But my favorite is One Monkey Ahead: it opens so many possibilities that it makes you crazy! This is something that will change the way you perform this classic method forever! If you want to add strong routines that pack incredibly flat and play huge, this is the way to go!"
- Luca Volpe

"The 100th Monkey Principle as a method is so unique. It feels like gateway to a whole new world of mental effects. It's been a while since I felt this excited about a method for mentalism."
- Ran Pink

"The 100th Monkey is not just a method; it's an adventure! You're going to want to run with these simian secrets."
- Max Maven

Note: These effects are in English — they’re not designed to give non-English speakers the ability to speak English. While you can print any of the 400-plus cards in this set at home or at a print shop, customization of the cards is not included.
