Groundbreaking Routines and Principles

Dive deep into a collection of innovative routines that are as clever as they are deceptive. Learn how to subtly influence choices with "Letter Bomb," a scripting principle that transforms a simple letter guess into an extraordinary demonstration of influence. Explore "Anything in the World," a remarkable propless routine where a participant freely thinks of an item, can change their mind multiple times, and you never touch their written thoughts – yet you reveal it flawlessly. For those who love personal reveals, "Bedroom Light" allows you to speak details of a thought-of room to make a word or playing card reveal profoundly intimate. Imagine revealing a spectator's ATM PIN during a casual card routine with "Binoculars," or guessing a U.S. state someone is thinking of with absolutely no props or complex memory work, thanks to the ingenious "Modesto."

Mastering the Art of Mentalism

"Edison Notes" goes beyond mere tricks, offering profound insights into the psychology and presentation of mentalism. Discover the "Naturally Drawn To" Principle, a powerful verbal out that elegantly handles misses when guessing birth months, Zodiac signs, or categories for readings, ensuring your performances always appear successful. This principle is further explored and applied in "Cold Cuts and Candy," demonstrating its versatility across different types of effects. Beyond the individual routines, Steve shares invaluable essays on crucial aspects of performance: harnessing your real intuition, developing a compelling character, making mind reading look truly authentic, and inspiring your own creativity. These aren't just methods; they are philosophies that will transform your approach to mentalism.

letter of the alphabet. This is a scripting principle to enhance a normal letter guess routine.

Anything in the World – A participant is instructed to think of anything in the world, with a little help
from the performer. They are able to change their mind multiple times and you never have to touch
the paper they write on.

Dark Star – Steve’s opening script for a Zodiac reveal

Bedroom Light – Make a random word or playing card reveal more personal by speaking out details
of a thought of room.

Heartland Feeling – Reveal details of seemingly any location a spectator thinks of during a playing
card routine.

“Naturally Drawn To” Principle – A verbal Out that allows you to attempt to guess birth months,
Zodiac signs, a main category for a reading, and more. The structure of the sentence instantly
washes away a miss. This is a further examination of the principle used in Letter Bomb.

Cold Cuts and Candy – Takes the Naturally Drawn To structure and applies it to cold cutting to a chosen card in a deck.

Modesto – A way to guess a U.S. state that someone is thinking of with no props. Without asking a
question you can know if you’re able to reveal the state propless or if you have to go to the fully
described Out. Very little memory work, but includes tips to have this involve no memory work.

Reading look real, inspiring creativity, and more.
