Mentalism Help

[michaelstrey17]

Hello fellers. I am an amateur magician who prefers mentalism. I work at a fast-food restaurant (Culver's), and I was wondering if anybody knew some mentalism routines that would work well- such as those that are propless (or almost, such as only needing a single card, piece of paper, pencil, etc), and take around 30 seconds or less. Also, routines that include things in the environment such as salt, pepper, and sugar packets would be terrific. Thanks!

Check out Greg Rostami's stuff. I love Jay Sankey's DVD hemispheres as well.

Heh, it would be interesting to have a slip of paper folded by the till and after someone orders, to ask for the paper and open it up and it has a number that matches their order amount. Or has a list of the exact order - that would be cool too.

You should look into pocket writing. You could ask what there order number was or how much their order cost, then reveal that you have that written down in your pocket.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll try the pocket writing and check out hemispheres. Thanks again.
