Impromptu "Visual" Mentalism

I was wondering if there were sources on impromptu and more "Visual" mentalism. Such as key bends and things that take really no setup. I do metal bending but thats about it.

I have 13 steps which, as much as i've read so far, is billets and more stage(d) effects.


Thanks,

Heres a DVD set to check out The Unexpected (2 DVD set) by Spelmann and Nardi

Unexpected


Disc One

Fist Full Of Dollars
An incredible opener for any impromptu situation. Give your spectator a chance to win some cold hard cash. All they have to do is guess which hand holds the money! They will never win! As a kicker you prove to them you knew they would choose the wrong hand from the start.

Drinks On The Patio
A great little performance piece to do when you’re in a bar. A lovely lady is requested to help out and as a thank you will buy her a drink. The drink she gets depends on how well she does in the little test.

Take Note
Your spectator takes part in a little game of chance. 3 notes of different values are placed on the table. You write a prediction on a business card which remains on full view through out. Now using your powers of persuasion you manage to influence their choice of note!

Perfect ESP
A quick & simple ESP match up routine. Even though your spectator mixes the cards. You always place your card down first and you can even do this facing away from your spectator! No- one a head, marked cards or extra cards involved used!

Single Handed Geller
Marcs ultra slick one handed coin bend. This is something that you will carry with you always!

Underhand Thoughts
An unbelievable impromptu drawing duplication that will get you out of trouble!

Three For The Money
A 3 Phase performance piece which highlights your ability to predict your spectators actions. Each phase gets increasingly more difficult yet you prove your power with 3 correct predictions!

Disc Two

A Tribute To Mr Kane
This is an Impromptu version of Kane’s variant. A great gambling effect using only 5 business cards and some money.

Feel
A spectator holds an imaginary object in their cupped hands. You now concentrate and tell them exactly what they are holding!

Serial Killer Lite
Your spectator removes a bill from their wallet and folds it up, they then place it under an upturned wine glass. You can then call off the serial number.

Three For The Money
A three phase performance piece. Each phase gets increasingly more difficult, yet you prove your power with 3 correct predictions! Which coin they will choose, the amount of change they have and finally the serial number on a borrowed bill.

Busch Brain Buster
No DVD on mentalism would be complete without a book, magazine or newspaper test. This superb 2 phased routine has been used by Spelmann and Nardi even in their paid performances utilises a fantastic subtlety from Richard Busch. Reveal a freely chosen word from any newspaper, book or magazine & describe an item your spectator has locked in their mind!

Two’s Company
A discussion on utilising a friend, partner or family member to code you simple information.

The whole thing, with the exception of one move/routine, can be done impromptu as long as you have suitable forks. But it also teaches an impromptu, gimmickless key-bend.

The best impromtu key bend ever is KeyWarp by Richard Mark- bar none. You can buy the MindWarp book which teaches the effect or it is also taught on Banachek's PSI series DVD's Vol. 4. I reccomend picking up the banachek DVD's just because they're amazing anyways. Also, Spelmann's DVD's are good too.
 
With a little thought you can do an "Out to Lunch" type thing a million different ways.

That is the Paul Harris effect, correct? Where he has someone write down a time and a borowed watch goes to that time? Or am I waaaaay off?

Haha...

I honestly want to get into more mentalism. I think i'm going to brush up on my metal bending, finish 13 steps then... perhaps Sean Fields explicit content? How setup friendly are his key bends?


Thanks,
Sharp
