MES(S)MERIZE

THE BLURB:
This is much more than just a mental effect. Mes(s)merize by
Stefan Olschewski is a brand-new application of an ingenious
principle that enables you to make your act more vivid,
personal and interactive. Your audience will experience an
ULTRA CLEAN prediction of RANDOM thoughts that involves
every single spectator and plays huge even on the largest
stage:
A clear wine-glass is seen on a table center-stage,
containing a black envelope with a prediction. Before or
during the show, the spectators are asked to concentrate on
a single thought, write it down on a card and seal it in an
opaque envelope. They really can write down whatever they
like, there is no force whatsoever.
At your command, they all throw their envelopes onto the
stage creating a mess on the floor (hence the title of the
effect "Mes(s)merize"). A random spectator selects any one
of the envelopes (again: NO force!). Let's assume the
thought inside reads "ICECREAM".
SHE removes the prediction from the glass and opens it. SHE
reads the prediction aloud: it matches the freely selected
thought! Now for the FINAL kicker: The lady is asked to open
up the crumpled paper ball that was used to randomly select
her as a volunteer. It reads: "Tonight, a beautiful lady
called Annie will think of ICECREAM!"
* The spectator is randomly selected
* No switch of the paper ball
* No stooges
* No secret assistants
* No pre-show
* No fumbling
* No sleeving
* No electronics
* They can really write down any thought
* The other envelopes may be opened to show they all contain
different words
* Prediction envelope has a DIFFERENT color than the rest of
the envelopes
* Spectator opens and reads the prediction herself
* You never touch the prediction
* Spectator may keep the prediction and envelope, both are
completely unprepared
The unique principle taught in this eBook offers literally
hundreds of applications, only limited by your imagination.
It can even be used for memorable publicity stunts. The PDF
includes more than a dozen additional ideas for
mes(s)merizing routines by Greg Arce, Luca Volpe and Mike
Ince! Are you ready to "mes(s)merize" your audience!?
"I think it's a terrific prediction, and I love the final
punch-finish. Clever, and very practical."
Peter Duffie
"Very nice routine with a well-constructed method and
presentation. Loved all the thinking that went into this."
Greg Arce
"I'm impressed. I think this is something Ted Lesley would
have been proud of. The method is strong, simple,
straightforward and uncluttered as it should be. Bravo!"
Mike Ince
"There are only few great opening effects on the market.
Yours is one of them. The idea where all the people throw
the envelopes on stage is really great. I like the mess...!"
Luca Volpe
"It's perfect. The method is wonderfully simple and direct
and I image it plays extremely well. I give it my highest
recommendation."
Sean Waters
"Brilliant yet simple, the only way to do it."

MY COMMENTS:
This is a really cool effect and the method is just so
diabolically simple. The preparation really involves only
doing some alterations to a pay envelope, which should take
about 5 minutes. That's it. Everything else is clean and
direct.
If I had only one comment, and this is purely my opinion, it
is that this effect is too powerful to use as an opener as
suggested by the author. Also, this is one of those "one
trick" PDFs and probably it could have been packaged with
other effects. But these are certainly not criticisms of
the effect itself.
All you need to perform this effect is a wine glass, manila
envelopes, paper, business (or any type of card that will
fit into the manila envelope), a black marker, and
repositionable glue. And all of these are easily available
at any office supply store. The details of how to perform
this are what's in this 24 page downloadable PDF which also
contains photo illustrations and ideas by Mike Ince, Luca
Volpe, and Greg Arce. For the very reasonable price, this
is yet another effect that is worth adding to your arsenal.
