The book outlines three complete 30-minute acts for solo mentalists, each designed to stand alone or be combined. It totals around 50-60 pages and includes illustrations.
-
The Naked Mentalist
- A "no-prop" act using only the performer's mind and audience interaction.
- Features 7 impromptu effects, such as predictions, telepathy simulations, and billet readings (e.g., divining thoughts via psychological cues).
- Builds to a strong finale; nudity is optional/joking reference to the "stripped-down" nature.
- Ideal for walk-around or parlor settings.
-
The Intimate Mentalist
- Close-up focused, avoiding common gimmicks like nail-writers, center tears, or switches.
- Includes 6 classic mentalism routines reimagined for intimacy, such as book tests, ESP card revelations, and one-ahead principles.
- Emphasizes patter (scripted dialogue) inspired by historical figures like Dr. [likely a reference to Dr. Jacob Daley or similar in mentalism lore].
-
The Fund-Raising Mentalist
- Tailored for charity/club/church events to boost donations.
- Uses simple items: index cards, envelopes, drawing pads, markers, pencils, and alphabet cards.
- Routines involve audience-written predictions, forced choices (e.g., via shuffled decks), and solar ticking sheets for reveals.
- Example prep: Pre-print 8-12 "audience cards" with prompts like "Favorite childhood pet" or "Dream vacation" to guide revelations.
- No confederates; focuses on ethical, high-impact closes that encourage contributions.
