Proteus

by Phedon Bilek

This book is highly unusual, and we were completely charmed. If you read below, you'll see a who's who of mentalists praising this unique work. Coming from a purely sleight-of-hand background, Phedon designs practical methods that actually work, leaving no space for approximation. The idea of this book is that it's "propless mentalism," a sub-genre we love because the mindreading feels like it's organic, and without clumsy impression pads or devices.

Here's how it looks to a spectator: they are asked to FREELY think of a drawing, ANY drawing, and despite impossible odds the mentalist KNOWS EXACTLY what they have in mind.

100% propless and impromptu
Requires only a FAST and INVISIBLE procedure
Does NOT require highly intelligent or sober spectators. It works on kids!
NEVER confuses the participant
Doesn't use preshow, or anything sneaky like that
