What is it then?The spectator is aksed to simply think of one of these numbers, and memorise the object associated with the number. This is all done with the performer looking away from the spectator.
The performer requests that the spectator is to visualise the object clearly in their mind; and is also asked not to say a single word for the rest of the effect.
Without 'fishing' the performer describes definite features of the thought of object, and then proceeds to name it.
Instantly repeatable with a different object mentally selected!
Works 100% of the time, no guessing involved!
my words in this order say the following sentences:
i'll just give you a brief few words, then give you my quickie performance of it i did this morning..too eager for my own good..
anyway..beautifully designed card...oh and this is NOT mental yarn by any stretch of the tongue...completely different..a lovely little tactile item, with lots of hidden sneaky psychology built into the whole thing...
does what it says on the tin..if it had a tin..(no tin included)..here's what happened this morning:
I got two people to do it, one thought of a number and remembered the word next to it...and try and send that word to the second person...
I asked the second person to relax and just quickly look at one word upon the list...to see if the first person really could mentally influence them in a free decision...
so I got the first person to start describing their object, the one they were trying to transmit/influence the other to pick...
the word and description matched...
apologies to mr. brook though, I didn't read the entire instructions..
but they are written out in his usually high standards, with a script and the hidden psychology behind everything...
anyway..that was me, this morning, outside the bakers...warm bread in hand, and I calmly walked away leaving two people agog and looking at each other in amazement..oh and swearing..
excellent product...well done paul...
