Paper's Ghost by Nils Bennett

Read your spectators mind!

"Paper´s Ghost" gives you a universal gimmick that enables you to perform unbelievable mental effects.

▪ Routine 1
Read your spectators’ thoughts! Ask a person to think of a number without naming it yet. You write down a prediction on a small pad and put the pen aside. Now the spectator says which number he has chosen loud and clear for the first time. You tear your prediction from the pad and hand over the piece of paper – exactly his number is written on it!

▪ Routine 2
Swap roles for a change and show that your spectators are able to display an amazing mental phenomenon, too. Let one of your spectators read your mind. He has to name a number your are just thinking of. To check this you have written down the number before and you have put the piece of paper in a sealed envelope. The envelope is opened. The numbers match!

▪ Routine 3
A spectator chooses one of three symbols you lay out for him. The piece of paper which has the chosen symbol on it is burned. Another piece of paper, which was previously shown empty and folded up again, is now held into the rising smoke. Then you open the piece of paper to show that exactly the previously chosen symbol has mysteriously appeared on it!

No additional gimmicks necessary!
Just a block of paper!

Comes completely with three in detail explained mental routines as well as more ideas for the use of this principle.
And you get a high tech product that seems to be a normal scribbling block.
