Quick Mind Reading By: Larry Becker

The mentalist opens a vinyl ID case with two transparent windows. In one side is his Credit Card. The other side contains a card upon which has been typed a list of such items as shirt, socks, watch, etc. each with a retail price adjacent to it. A spectator is asked to look at the list of seven (7) items and to mentally select any item and its price as he embarks on an imaginary shopping trip. The mentalist removes the credit card and hands it together with a Listo pencil to the spectator. The spectator is then asked to jot down the price of the item he noted on the shopping list writing it on the reverse side of the credit card, using the Listo pencil the mentalist has given him.

The mentalist turns away as this is being done. With his back still turned, the mentalist instructs the spectator to place the credit card, writing side down, on the palm of the mentalist's right hand. The ID case is held in the mentalist's left hand. Both of the mentalist's hands are held behind his back. Turning toward the spectator, the mentalist replaces the credit card back in the ID case while both are out of sight behind his (the mentalist's) back.

The ID case is then handed to the spectator with a request that he open the ID case and while looking at the list...mentally circle the item he is concentrating upon. The mentalist takes back the ID case and removes the list of items. Using the Listo pencil, the mentalist makes a circle around one of the items and places it writing side down on the table. The spectator is now asked to call out the item upon which he is concentrating. When he turns over the card on the table...it is seen that the mentalist has circled the very item he is concentrating upon.

You will be supplied everything (including Credit Cards, of course fake) required to perform the routine, also a crystal clear instructions to understand the working mechanism of this effect.
