Mind power deck - John Kennedy
The effect: The magician attempts to read the spectators mind and thought of card. The magician spreads or fans the cards on a table. The spectator concentrates on one card only. The magician is able to accurately guess the name of the card. You can spread to show the card has vanished - but that is not included in the effect.
This effect is very similar to Derren Brown's smoke.
The method: The method of this effect is genius in my opinion. No complicated memory work, this trick is basically self-working. There is a gimmick involved but it is very clever and probably what you least expect.
I have used this effect quite frequently in my act. I highly recommend this effect for anyone interested in Mentalism type effect utilizing.
It is a very easy effect to do, which allows you to concentrate on your performance. If you can spread cards and read, you can do this effect.
