What is organic mentalism?

A way of performing that is as close to real as can be is called Organic Mentalism. The performance comes from the personality of the performer and their audience, as well as the objects that surround them. The organic toolkit presented in these two sessions will allow participants to create hugely powerful moments of compelling, realistic mentalism at the drop of a hat.

The Organic Mentalism approach covered in the Academy course does not use challenging methodologies, knuckle busting sleights or complex technology to create streamlined effects that are easy to perform and allow you to focus entirely on engaging and entertaining the audience. Even in commercial settings, everything in the Academy is accessible, doable and effective.

Over the two sessions, the course will serve as a crash course in many of the concepts important to performing mentalism.

Day One

There is one information gathering.

Information gathering is the first half of the class. You can perform a range of high impact deeply deceptive mind-reading effects with these simple accessible methods.

You will learn how to use The Biz and just regular business cards to learn what a participant is thinking.

Interl8ced Thief is a weird self-working reinvention of the classic Dead or Alive effect that finishes with you knowing their chosen name.

This Academy will be the first time an explanation has been published for Fastext, a radical new way to perform a completely impromptu booktest with any borrowed book that has been part of the underground toolkit for years.

Key concepts for performing organic mentalism will be covered in the first session, as well as the value of spectator-as-mindreader moments and the secret behind making the perfect reveal.

There is a control of mind.

The second session of the first class covers mind control, the art of controlling a spectator’s choices and manipulating their outcomes to match your predictions.

There will be a range of unique and original presentations for each of the classic structural forcing methods.

He will cover psychological forces and how to build routines that will support and exploit them in a way that guarantees a big hit every time, no matter what.

Namerology, his go-to card piece for reading fortunes with a standard deck of cards, uses a smart reinterpretation of a classic mind-control principle.

The second session will cover important theory ideas focused on scaling up effects and creating unforgettable moments by breaking the expected patterns of performance.

Day 2

The way of the deft hand.

The first session of the second class will focus on direct mind-reading and prediction effects that don’t require physical props, and that are able to hit hard and work every time, a vital part of a professional level performance.

The Universal is the number one framework for creating propless effects. An amazing technique for creating TV magic style mind reading miracles on the fly is included in the universal.

He will cover his approach to using progressive anagrams and how to create the illusion of free mind-reading.

Key theory on imbuing otherwise abstract ideas with deep personal meaning for spectators will be covered in this session. The Target Number effect is a great way to do big mentalism at the drop of a hat.

Along the way this session will cover fake jazz, and the strange art and dubious value of crafting believable moments.

There are all hands on the deck.

The second class will cover a range of techniques, principles and approaches to creating the illusion of realISTIC mind-reading and mentalism using a standard deck of cards. Time Sight, a smart presentation for an overlooked classic, Visionary Journey, a modern fortune telling masterpiece and Power Memory will be taught by Phill when he picks up a deck. The session will touch on real card handling, freestyling with an audience, and using a grounded hook to reel in an audience.

The actual state of the real.

The final session of the academy will cover real skills, demonstrations of genuine abilities that a mentalist can perform to create the impression of highly developed mental faculty. Maintaining a delicate balance between real and fake real is the secret. The session will teach methods for deep memorisation, in which you are able to instantly capture information that seems beyond the grasp of normal thought. There are ideas for rapid calculation that will blow your audience away. He will teach his methods for Rainman style estimation and handwriting analysis. Informal demonstrations done right, real real vs. fake real, and teaching the real should hit the session.
