Haven't heard of Manos Kartsakis? That's OK, because you soon will as he's one of the top underground creators in Europe. Here he gets ready to amaze us with V2, his first release of closely guarded secrets on the "Which Hand" plot.
These plots require no gimmicks and offer differing methods, so you are bound to click with his thinking. Fans of Mark Elsdon's Tequila Hustler will love these new approaches.
They include:
Veritas (Only ONE Question Asked)
One object in one hand behind the back? One question asked? 100% accuracy? No problem!
Vox (A ZERO Question Approach)
One object in one hand behind the back? ZERO questions asked? 100% accuracy? No problem!
*NEW* Vox 2.0 (A ZERO Question Approach)
Wait, another one? There's another way!? OK...
One object in one hand behind the back? ZERO questions asked? 100% accuracy? No problem!
Verbalist (A Super Clean TWO Spectator Version)
Two spectators: a truth-teller and a liar. One object behind their backs. Three questions to determine the object location and spectator roles. That's it!
*NEW* Verbalist 2.0 (A Super Clean TWO Spectator Version)
Two spectators: A truth-teller and a liar. One object behind their backs. TWO questions to determine the object location and spectator roles. That's it!
Vice Versa (A Multi-Phased Routine Which is Ideal for Stage and Cabaret)
Get the audience involved in this powerful multi-phase version of the plot!
*NEW* Velvet (An Incredible Demonstration of Influence)
One spectator hides an object behind his back and is asked to make a number of choices. Not only does the mentalist know what choices he made, he wrote them down in an envelope before the effect began...
PLUS...
*NEW* Memento (A Bonus Routine Available Directly from the Author)
The performer ask spectators for 8 to 10 names, and these are written on blank index cards. One spectator mentally selects a name. Another is asked to select a card using a pendulum. The selected card has the selected name, but wait till you find out about the kicker ending!
"The structure Manos has created for Vox 2.0 makes the logic puzzle element that is so often obvious and transparent, almost invisible!"Ken Dyne
"Manos Kartsakis has come up with the most elegant, direct and easy to follow propless 'which hand' effect I have seen. For me my audience's ability to follow along easily is really important -- Velvet achieves this unlike any other. I have already started using this and will continue to do so."Marc Spelmann
"I think Manos is a guy that is going to have a big name in Mentalism soon. This work is a very clever twist on the 'which hand' principle that uses no gaffs or electronics. This is how mentalism should be!"Luca Volpe
Softcover; 80 pages.
