Devin Knight
THREE MIND MIRACLES
$14.95
THE BLURB:
This ebook contains three effects from Devin Knight that are
about as close to real mindreading as you can get.
TAROT FOUR TOLD
An ungimmicked Tarot Deck is shown and given to anyone to
shuffle. Four people are invited to come forward. They
remove the top five cards from the shuffled Tarot Deck and
arrange them face up on a table in any order. They do this
while you are across the room and CAN NOT SEE THE CARDS.
Each person is asked to just think of one of the cards. They
say nothing and write nothing down. Everyone could be
thinking of the same card or each person could be thinking
of a different card. It makes no difference.
You start to get impressions of animals and ask anyone who
is thinking of a card that has an animal on it, to close his
eyes and see the animal moving in his mind. Next you get
impressions of people and ask those who are thinking of a
card with people on it to close their eyes and visualize the
person talking. Several cards on the table may have animals
in them and people. Some cards may just be symbols.
The spectators say nothing, you do no fishing. They just
close their eyes and concentrate. You walk over and pick up
the five cards and immediately hand the thought-of card to
each person. You are 100% correct! No chance of failure.
Nothing to memorize, no complex formula's. All you need is a
Tarot Deck. The principle can be applied to most any Tarot
Deck. It appears the participants had a free choice of five
cards from a shuffle tarot deck, that one of them shuffles!
NO TOUCH ACAAN
A red deck UNCASED is on the table. A blue deck is shown and
given a real shuffle by the performer. A person selects a
card from the deck in his own hands. There is NO FORCE. The
choice is free and the magician does NOT touch the deck
during the selection. In fact, the magician doesn't even
have to see or know the card. Read that again. The person
selects a card that is REALLY unknown to you! He shows it to
the audience. If he doesn't like the card, he can replace it
and select another card, no kidding!
To ensure a random number, he counts the cards left in his
hand after cutting off blocks. He counts the cards aloud.
There is no force, you have no idea how many cards he will
have in his hands. Assume he selected the four of clubs and
the number of cards left in his hand are 22.
Another person picks up the red deck which you have NOT
TOUCHED and counts down from the top to the 22nd card. He
always counts from the top face down. The card at position
22 is the 4 of Clubs. Baffling beyond words, and get this,
NO SLEIGHTS, no math, no formulas to remember. Believe it or
not, this is self-working. ULTRA-Clean. No gimmicks, just
use any two decks.
TELL TELL WATER
Performer talks of the research being done in Japan with
water. He further comments that current research suggests
that water can be influenced by our emotions, words and
thoughts. In fact a movie based on this is coming out soon,
and there are several best selling books on the subject.
Many people in your audience will be familiar with all this.
You offer to demonstrate. You show a clear and empty half
gallon glass jug and also a pitcher of water. You have a
person select a card (NO FORCE) and commit it to memory.
You say, "Let's see if the water will react to certain
words." You hold the inverted glass jug over the pitcher.
You ask the lady to think of her card. You say RED, and
nothing happens, this is repeated a few times. You say BLACK
and water gushes forth, You yell RED and the water stops
completely! Say BLACK again, and the water gushes.
"Let's try the suits," you explain. You name all 4 suits and
the water gushes forth when the right suit is named and
stops when a wrong suit is named. Finally, you try it with
values, and when the correct value of the card (say a 4) is
named, the water gushes forth. When wrong it stops.
Finally you call off a random card and nothing happens, then
you say the name of the card selected AND THE WATER GUSHES
FORTH UNTIL THE JUG IS EMPTY!
SELF CONTAINED...NOTHING ADDED OR TAKEN AWAY. NO Clear
Lucite covers used to stop water! Water can freely be poured
in and out of jug, yet at anytime turn it upside down and
the water defies gravity!
"Three Mind Miracles" as in 3 Mentalism effects in one PDF.
I found this to actually be a great value at $14.95. I will
use two out of the three effects taught. Not that the third
wouldn't appeal to others which in fact I think it will.
Overall, I am very happy with my purchase, and I find that
this PDF is packed full of detail and 3 fantastic effects.

MY COMMENTS:
Those who read my reviews know that I am a fan of Devin
Knight's, but that I thought he really missed it with Four
Told. Despite that it's become his most popular item, I
could not recommend it. It needed a logical disconnect
badly and it wasn't there.
But now Knight has come up with another version of Four Told
that uses Tarot cards. And this version has most certainly
adressed and corrected the problem. If you read the ad
blurb, you'll note that an entire 78 card Tarot deck is used
and it is shuffled by a participant. Five cards are dealt
out. The performer then asks four participants to think of
one of the cards. They close their eyes and concentrate on
the image if they are thinking of an image containing an
animal and then a person. After that, the performer can
divine which Tarot card each is thinking of.
What's important to know is that the performer does not need
to be near the four participants when the cards are dealt.
Also remember, one of the participants shuffles the Tarot
cards and this is quite legitimate. Finally, this is an
e-book, which means you need to supply your own materials.
You'll need a Rider-Waite Tarot deck or one its variations.
Other Tarot decks may work.
The only consideration to this is the use of Tarot cards.
Some may find it uncomfortable or not to their style.
NO TOUCH ACAAN is a very clever, completely hands-off,
easy-to-do, no-sleights version of Any Card At Any Number.
Now, it isn't quite any card at any number as the
participant(s) do not have a free choice of those two
elements, but each is randomly chosen and it appears quite
fair to the audience. Two decks are used and there is a
set-up required for each deck, but beyond that the decks are
ordinary.
TELL TELL WATER is an older item that Knight marketed some
years ago. It's essentially a Lota Bowl only using a clear
glass milk bottle, which are hard to find now. (At least,
in the US, they're not as easy to find as their plastic
counterparts.) This routine does depend greatly on your
performance style and needs as this is more of a PK or
mental magic presentation, but it's certainly fun.
Personally, I feel this e-book is all about the new version
of Four Told with the ACAAN effect as a very nice bonus.
The third item, which is good, is just there for extra value
and not nearly as practical as the first two items. Either
way you look at this, if the effects here interest you, this
is highly recommended.
