Thanks David, a diamond mine of an upload literally littered with Gems. "Propless Mentalism" is possibly the highest road our passion for "Magic" can take. It ain't easy but it is spectacularly rewarding. Passion, perseverance and real-world practice are essential. Never forget the Master has failed gracefully more times than the Pupil has tried. And if it ever got easy, everybody would be doing it. Love and respect.
Thanks for this list. For me mentalism can be more personal than showing a magic trick. To reveal names, places, secrets etc of your volunteer is so powerful. Worth a mention, Marc Paul and Looch from the UK.
Great recommendations to get a SOLID base for your magic library in regards to propless mentalism. I whole heartedly agree with you in saying that just because there are no props doesn’t mean that propless mentalism will be easy. There are a host of things that can and do make this avenue of magic much more difficult, but also much more rewarding. Thank you!
Sleight of mind, if you will!! I think I only started learning one thing from Spidey a couple months ago that was considered mentalism. I didn't lock it in though so this is definitely going to be a revisit if my path every takes me to propless mentalism. Which just looking at some of this stuff... I hope so. 🙏 thank you for the info!!
Another great video!!! I know it’s taken me forever, but I’ve finally started to add some Mentalism in. Surprisingly, it was an effect from Peter Turner’s “Freeform Mentalism” that really made me understand how patter and performance make an effect.
Fraser Parker - Mentalism Fundamentals is a $3 download that has a bunch of info. It's not propless but it's amazing as an introduction to mentalism generally.
Love performing propless mentalism and this is a good list. I started with the work of Atlas and he tipped me to Joshua Quinn who has great material worth checking out too.
David, nice episode!! Fun info, ideas, material,.. Lots of GREAT comments too. Been a fan for quite some time. Keep up the honest, open and interesting.
Jermay's Mind DVD has a deep dive on 'touching on Hoy' and an entire DVD devoted just to cold (and hot) reading. It is brilliant brilliant stuff. A beautiful propless pulse stop is available in Docc Hilford's 'the vault' DVD set. He adds a cut and healing of his finger, but that can be omitted. Luke Jermay also has some work on this idea that he released in a lecture DVD, though it is not as clear and concise as some other teachings / explanations. But he does take it to a ballsy extreme that makes it very much his own. Marc Spelmann put out the DVD 'what am I thinking' which is about impromptu- if not all propless- mentalism. 9 effects And Jon Thompson's 'naked mentalism' has some real gems in it too.
Back when I was still performing, I closed 5 shows with “Two Verbal Card Forces: methods for forcing mental selections, using only suggestion and gesture. no cards are used.” (I used the 3 D force) From Pure Effect By Derren Brown.
4:37 in and he still hasn’t started. And propless is not hard it’s actually fun. But I started as a stage hypnotist and been a child stage actor where we did a lot of adlib and in my work as a consultant (special effects, visual effects, engineering), I am called in to do something nobody has before and you have to sell the illusions as if you can solve their problem; fake it till you make it. Playing with equivoque’s is great fun. But also cold reading is great fun. And if you have a pen and paper, you can do things like draw me a tree. Oh and indeed unlocking a cell phone - I don’t consider it propless. I do this with colleagues in IT, I talk about how certificates and keys and public keys work. And I explain the easiest way with a shared key, that both the sender and receiver know. Which is highly secure when you managed to physically hand over the key and store it properly. And basically what it does is take your valuable info, like… oh hang on let me demonstrate. Give me your phone and open the calculator app. Now type a random digit. Imagine this is the shared key. Now multiply that with your Lock Screen key. Okay and show that to me…. Right! That’s now encoded. Clear the number on the calculator and hand it to me. Oh can you lock it please? Now I saw that big number, and I know your cipher was a simple addition. So in order to know the Lock Screen I’d need to subtract it! The maths is basically done in reverse and ciphers don’t use multiplication as such but but shift left and divide is shift right and xor. So I don’t know with what to divide it right. Because you didn’t give me the shared key. What was the shared key…. You forgot… didn’t I tell to remember? I’d they do remember I play it as a polymath trick and do quick division. And either way I unlock their phone. And I explain that you need to guard your shared key with your life. Because I can eavesdrop into your device, I can have cameras recording it or snoop your emails or texts. And I did this lecture for the bank 3 times and it blows people away. And the whole method is trivial. I just press the = on the calculator and with many calculators you’ll get the last entered digit. The Apple calculator does that.
Excellent video! I do enjoy what I would call "propless" mentalism. I have a few routines that end with me revealing something held in fingerpalm, like a skeleton key. This is something I developed. I also like the one that ends in a penny. I can't remember who did that one.
David, cheers for this. Watched it when it came out. Picked up Atlas Brookings Penguin lecture. Watched it just today and took an idea from it, made it my own and used it to close a virtual show this evening 😂
This is one of your better posts. You obviously enjoy this subject and got some opinions which is great. l learned a lot and thank you. The one entry (which I got to get working on some day) is in Calculated Thoughts by Doug Dyment where he's got an anagram method to do one's Astrological Sign. Many thanks again Sir :)
great list David … I also like the added “description” and a timed table of contents 👍🏻👍🏻 … surprised Spidey or David Jonathan didn’t make the list (DJ has a great “Mental Mysteries” at Alakazam … Tarbell has several “Mental” releases as well
Great review and perfect timing as I've been researching propless effects in the past couple of months. While I was looking into Tequila Hustler on Michael Murray's website I came across The Trojan Project by Manos Kartsakis and Michael Murray. Propless in the sense that you can borrow the bill, the coin and the key - and it's a great expansion of the "Which Hand" effect. You can even try the pseudo-effect on yourself before the method is explained. I love Which Hand effects, and I think it's good to have two or three completely different methods so if you are asked to repeat, even if it's days later, you have another option or two in your arsenal to keep things fresh.
FWIW, I seem to remember the Kickstarter for How to Control Minds as indicating it was suitable for beginners. I sort of doubted that, but I backed it anyway because I was interested in learning more about how this worked. I figured that even if I could do the effects, I'd learn some interesting stuff about how people think and such. I haven't watched much of the content yet, but from what I did see, I think I'm with you that the effects aren't as beginner-friendly as they may have advertised.
Great review David. I own most of these resources and I agree wholeheartedly with your comments and rating. The only item I would suggest adding is ElLEMENTARY by Drew Beckenstoss from his penguin LIVE lecture. It’s a PIN revelation where the primary reveal is written on a piece of paper;; however, this can very easily just be a spoken reveal. Thanks
My favourite Propless mentalism is a thing Luke Jemay tipped in the Genii ( Jemay on the cover ) Three spectators, three predictions. Propless. The way mentalism should be. I have a little cousin who is still creeped out.
@@magicorthodoxy I believe it is called “ touched by Hoy” as you mentioned. I remember the trick. I remember who taught it to me( book or download) but not always the originator and hardly ever the name. I’m the guy magic creators hate but I don’t teach people so I have no quilt
Love your channel keep up the good work. I feel Matt Mello needs more recognition state of mind and the gray area are just a few that have really helped me as a mentalist and stand out as far as the I don't need no problems I can just read your mind. Love to hear your take on it thank you David 🙂
One of my favorites is he shares a method on how to guess a name by having your spectator think of three important people in their life. And you instruct them to imagine each of them standing in front of them you then have them choose which person whether it be on their left middle right etc and focus on that person and their relationship first. Like if this is a friend or a relative etc would you then reveal their relationship and then the name. Pretty awesome stuff. That's in state of mind the gray area I love his take on a liar to tell a routine and using that method to do a witch hand. And he ends it with a three person three different objects and you're able to deduce which person is holding which object super clean super direct no logic puzzles or gimmicks or anything like that.
Propless is so hard. If you do a peek or something, it's mostly showmanship after that. With propless there's a ton of reading the spectator while navigating some kind of memory work. It's also very difficult to practice.
Michael Murray's original Isolation and his newest version, Oreality. How about any PK Touches routines that are propless? You haven't reviewed any of Sean Waters material and have done yourself a serious disservice if you like propless or near propless mentalism. Readings? Jerome Finley has the best.
Fantastic review, David! I am grateful for your feedback and guidance. Thank you! Quick question, if you could only make one purchase from the list you shared and the $300.00 was out of the question, which one item would you purchase? Thank you!!
UnVeil and V2 by Manos Kartsakis Silent Running series by Ben Harris Navigator by Reese Goodley Paths and Psyware by Matt Mello Sherlocked by Thaddius Barker I Miss Charlotte by Ali Foroutan The PIN Project by Luke Turner
I haven’t heard of Michael Murray before, I’m going to check him out now though! Question, Luke Jermay has a LOT of material out, what material of his do you recommend for a beginner Mentalist? Thanks again for the awesome reviews, advice, and overall awesome magic content!
I think I only have one propless effect, and it's a slight variation of Isabella Star by Peter Turner. Which I think is taught in one of the Ellusionist mentalism kits. Which is a zodiac and birthday divination.
Hey buddy I wanted to ask if you can perform this variation of isabella star accurately and how long did it take you to do so cuz I'm gonna learn to do that
best source for readings: Learn a real system. Palm reading is a great place to start. Any proper esoteric or (pseudo) psychological system provides you with authority, silent scripts, organic and built in patterns of human life and a structure no need to stress out about trying to remember long scripts of barnum statements and complicated double negations or greener grass lines
I love that you made this video :) MENTALISM is my fave part of magic . i apsolutly agree with your list (myv HTCM is too hard to be nm 9 but..). Its interrsting that you didnt mantioned Derren Brown or i missed that, wt do u think about him?
Loving these refreshed top 10s. Here is one that I dont think gets covered a lot and it could be because there arent a lot of modern effects but how about something like top 10 rope/thread/ribbon effects? As always, thanks for what you do!
Great great great list. Mentioned some resources I was already familiar w/ and some I never really gave a chance; now I’m really interested into them. I was expecting to see PK touches, hypnotricks and contact mindreading mentioned. Those are a lot of what I’ve had success w/. Thanx for making this list.
@@magicorthodoxy Oh, cool. I guess that part kinda flew by me. Something I think about w/ propless Mentalism, something I kinda see as a issue, is that a lot of propless material puts a lot of responsibility in the hands of the spectator. If a person has to spell a word in their head, do math (groan 😒) or follow too many instructions, they could easily ruin it. And we, as the mentalist, can’t blame them for it. We have to own it or fall back on something else. Also, I just thought about Pulse Stops. There’s a couple great ones out there AND they would be great mentalism for deaf spectators.
@@TheMindofRobert i forgot about pulse stops! I do the I one from Docc Hilford's 'the vault' DVD set and it has never failed. Totally propless. Great catch with the pulse stops!
best one that was easy. is a math one. everyone will have same answer.so perform for as many people you want. tell them pick a number from 1 to 10 remember dont tell you.then add 20 to their number.then take away 4 from their total. last tell then take away the number i told you to remember. answer is 16
The problem with most mentalism is that performers drag it out far too long. Spectators are enjoying it and as it continues they lose interest and just want it to be over
For propless mentalism only? Or in general? Propless mentalism probably requires both “detective” work and keeping them entertained at the same time. It’s probably harder than it looks.
haha, i was waiting for proteus to be at number 1, and yeah i wasn't disappointed 😜😜 I can't stress enough how much this effect is epic , the reactions are crazy, it is simple and straightforward and it worth the time for learning. i wish if there is a kind of forum only for this specific effect because it is worth.
The other brothers put out a which hand effect where you ask them questions and then depending on the answer they switch hands. They show it with an actual coin but you can also do this conpleatly propless and ask them to imagine it. Hopefully they're a truthful person lol
I'm relatively new to your channel (great, by the way), but I haven't seen a review of 'The Oracle System', by Ben Seidman, or maybe I missed it. I think it is terrific, but would like your opinion. Thanks.
Hallo David! My no one,is Orion as well, the best book ( books) I have ever had, and I just finished the first one, Incredible material in there. My no two though,is calculated thoughts, also a fantastic book with very valuable knowledge in there, and I am kind of confused you didn't mention it. What is your opinion about that?

Trying to be a propless mentalist without first being a mentalist is like trying to be an astronaut when you aren't a pilot
or like trying to be a pilot when you've never made a paper airplane
Thank you for your preamble. SO MANY PEOPLE fail at propless mentalism by BORING their spectator or messing it up.
Thanks TT

Also, I just thought about Pulse Stops. There’s a couple great ones out there AND they would be great mentalism for deaf spectators.
@@TheMindofRobert i forgot about pulse stops! I do the I one from Docc Hilford's 'the vault' DVD set and it has never failed. Totally propless. Great catch with the pulse stops!
and Jermay's 'touching on hoy' is a PK touch routine.
@@rethanwilliams True. I consider it a mind-reading routine, but yeah. Also loved one of the newer versions of it, Touching on Hypnosis.
best one that was easy. is a math one. everyone will have same answer.so perform for as many people you want. tell them pick a number from 1 to 10 remember dont tell you.then add 20 to their number.then take away 4 from their total. last tell then take away the number i told you to remember. answer is 16
THANKS John!!!
your welcome
What’s the difference between Proteus and Phasma.
The problem with most mentalism is that performers drag it out far too long. Spectators are enjoying it and as it continues they lose interest and just want it to be over
If this is happening to you, you are most likely doing it wrong.
yea, sounds like they need to tighten up their presentation
@@magicorthodoxy Its not me, at this time I don't do any mentalism, my view is just from watching some perform
For propless mentalism only? Or in general? Propless mentalism probably requires both “detective” work and keeping them entertained at the same time. It’s probably harder than it looks.
Can Quinta and body mentalism be combined for a two pass routine?
Great video! It gives me a lot of inspiration... What about Anyweb 2.0? I think this could also be good for "propless" mentalism.
yea probebly
🔥🔥🔥🔥
toxic city, psychic surgery, 1089 revistited, think of ANY card
nice list
Can Quinta work in other language like Chinese?
Bro it dont need any language... U can still perform that without saying a word👍
haha, i was waiting for proteus to be at number 1, and yeah i wasn't disappointed 😜😜
I can't stress enough how much this effect is epic , the reactions are crazy, it is simple and straightforward and it worth the time for learning.
i wish if there is a kind of forum only for this specific effect because it is worth.
You and me both!
The other brothers put out a which hand effect where you ask them questions and then depending on the answer they switch hands. They show it with an actual coin but you can also do this conpleatly propless and ask them to imagine it.
Hopefully they're a truthful person lol
Yes HANDS DOWN - it's a great trick ruclips.net/video/cdmmUPKWc1E/видео.html
I'm relatively new to your channel (great, by the way), but I haven't seen a review of
'The Oracle System', by Ben Seidman, or maybe I missed it. I think it is terrific, but would like your opinion. Thanks.
Thanks! You can always use the search feature on the main page: ruclips.net/video/T19dfpIsugY/видео.html
Before I even watch the video, I predict the name Peter Turner will be mentioned in it lol. Let's see how good a mentalist I am
LOL
Maybe Isolation!
Yes! Great idea
I've got Phedon's ''Sybil'' ... a fantastic mentalism effect, but not exactly propless, as it does utilize a scrunched up ball of paper. :)
I love that trick

Hallo David! My no one,is Orion as well, the best book ( books) I have ever had, and I just finished the first one, Incredible material in there. My no two though,is calculated thoughts, also a fantastic book with very valuable knowledge in there, and I am kind of confused you didn't mention it. What is your opinion about that?

Derren Brown is the master of all mentalism.
Agreed
