roll!” Corinda


About

This is named Cipher Principle 3.0 as it is the third

version. It is also a fun play on the name C-3PO.

Although named after Cipher I have been using this idea

since my Superhuman stage show in 2013.

The Effect

Famous Mentalist: Please join me onstage.

Hello and welcome!

Famous Mentalist: Please tell everyone your name.

Segen.

Mentalist: Hi Segen, I am Warren Thackeray, pleased to

meet you.

We did speak earlier to try and calibrate to see if I could

read your mind and some of it worked and some of it

never, right?

Segen: you were 50/50. Lol


Mentalist: Let’s try for something a little simpler and

then work our way up.

Are you more social or introverted?

Segen: Social

Mentalist: Let me see the palm of your hand.

Ah, I would say that you were born in the warmer part

of the year. Just yes or no, don’t give anything away.

Segen: Yes.

Mentalist: So, social you say. I’m leaning toward

Summer. Just think of you star sign. Say it over and over

in your mind only. Segen, please close your eyes.

Mentalist writes: Virgo and shows the audience.

Mentalist: In a nice loud clear voice please tell everyone

your star sign.

Segen: Virgo.

Mentalist: Excellent, now, you can only have been born

in one of two months August or September.

Just think your answer and keep your eyes closed.

Mentalist writes: August and shows the audience.


Mentalist: In a nice loud clear voice please tell everyone

what month you were born in.

Segen: August.

And so you will go on with the day of the month too.

Mentalist: Let’s switch gears.

Could we go for something more risky? Like a pin code,

but not your actual one, just a four digit number?

Segen: Yes.

Mentalist: Take this notepad and pen and lets stand

back to back.

At every number we will calibrate. I will always write

first and then you can write yours after, then we will

both show the audience.

Mentalist: Think of your favorite color.

You write - blue

Mentalist: Think of your first number.

You write the first digit.

Both reveal at the same time. Audience will go wild.

Mentalist: Are you a cat or dog person? Just think your

answer.

You write cat.

Mentalist: Think of your second number.

You write the second digit.



Mentalist: Now think of this pets name from when you

were younger.

You write - Garfield.

Mentalist: Third number.

You write the third digit.


And so on for the fourth digit too.

Audience goes nuts.


CP30

There are many ways to use this besides Cipher. The

Script must be tight and yes there is preshow but not in

the usual way. You can make this shorter or the length

of the example.

Mentalist: Hi, my name is Warren Thackeray and I’m

performing here tonight. I am going to be reading minds

later and this is one of the most difficult things that I do.

Before I get someone onstage I just want to make sure

this works!

Can we see if this will work with you?

Go through the Cipher setup. I personally do not do the

force. I just try and guess a single digit they are thinking

of from the final = button they push. Yeah, you read

write, just guess. But also you never read that right.


Mentalist: If I get stuck later and I need to calibrate I

would like us to be thinking the same thing at the same

time. If you think of your favorite color and I am

thinking of it, then it will be easier for me to jump to the

information I am stuck on.

Mentalist: What is your favorite color?

Segen: Blue.

Mentalist: Are you a cat or dog person?

Segen: Cat

Mentalist: Did you have a cat growing up and what was

its name?

Segen: Garfield.

Mentalist: Excellent, now I know you know that I know

this info because you have just told me. But I will only

use it if I get stuck. So I will write it at some point or ask

you to think of it so that we can be on the same page.

This will help me guess other information.

Mentalist: It is important to know that I am not making

you say anything and that your pin code is known only

to you.

You will need your best pre show words here, because I

am not giving you mine :)


Essentially you will now be revealing all this other

information about someone by linking it to just the

numbers from Cipher.

Allude

I will allude to more ideas but I will also give you a

couple too. You can walk up to someone and do the

CP30 and then just come back to them in a walk around

situation.

You can add this to things like Locked In thought by Paul

Brook, an anagram, pretty much almost anything.

Thank you

Thank you to Kent Axell. Originally I had decided to just

add a color and Kent said: Why not just anything?

Cheers!

Postscript

Look, I have had people say: that doesn’t suit my

persona. Well I didn’t write up these ideas for you

specifically. They started off for me. And you can adapt

this to suit your needs, because you are a mentalist. A

great one I hope.

If you lack the ability to rework this info into your own

style or adapt it for other things, it’s like they say, you

can't polish a turd...

But, you can roll it in glitter.

Please roll my effect in glitter.

So long and thanks for all

the fish!

Feel free to contact me at [email protected] with

any routines you come up with or other uses. I would

love to hear from you!

I know what you are thinking: no, it does not use Imaginary

Ball.


New World Order

MindFX is pleased to announce the impending release of

Warren Thackeray’s new book “New World Order”. ‘New

World Order’ details Warren’s incredible technique for

revealing names, star-signs and more.


http://www.mindfx.co.uk/products/new-world-order-by-warren-thackeray

So, what makes this ‘method’ different to the rest? Please

consider the following points -

● Nothing is ever written down, spoken, or otherwise

communicated by the participant.

● This is performed entirely on the fly with no advance

preparation required.

● This can be performed in both close-up and stage

environments. It will work equally as well in a one on

one situation.

● This does not require any clever word play, anagrams

or dual reality. The participant will be as equally

impressed as the audience.

● The method behind this is ‘New’ and is not based

upon any pre-existing work.

● The information is harvested completely out of the

awareness of the spectator involved.

"Warren Thackeray has a revolutionary new method that is

one of the few routines that requires you to carry no props.

You will have an incredible amount of information at your

fingertips using NWO. Not only can you divine numerous

pieces of information, but it is totally clean and direct. Truly

original and new thinking."

Watkins


Divine new possibilities for your pendulums with Machina,

the dual purpose pendulum and chalk board from Taylor

Imagineering. Combining a beautiful spirit board hand

finished by master craftsman Paul Kostrach in the USA with

the electronic innovations here at TI, Machina allows the

performer to read the information provided by the

participant’s pendulum or a piece of chalk- hands free from

across the stage. Completely self contained and perfect for

parlor magic or small stage, Machina is an excellent addition

to any tool kit. From pure mentalism to the more bizarre,

Machina lets your audience experience true magic.

DIVINE INTERVENTION: Star sign divination and

more! Propless. Gaffless. The method makes sense, no calling

off letters and works better than a charm.

“The system is very well hidden and the process makes

sense.... Love it Warren. That's a great alternative to the


anagram method. The effect is great! I prefer this to the

anagram, much more fun and interesting for the spectator. “

Phedon Bilek
