BUBBLEGUM HEART

Impossible yet highly entertaining and memorable mentalism.

The performer claims that a friend's child showed him how he could read minds using stickers he collected from bubblegum packs.

A participant is given a bunch of cards with different stickers on them. The participant is told to keep them in their own hands. The performer will never touch them.

The participant cuts off any number of cards behind their back and peeks at one of the stickers to remember. Then they put the cards back together and mix them behind their back, so no one can see a thing.

The performer says the kid claimed he could read minds by chewing bubblegum - a sort of meditation.

As the performer chews the bubblegum, he or she makes a strange face, and pulls the bubblegum out of their mouth. 

The gum is seen to be in the shape of a HEART. 

The Heart is exactly the sticker the participant chose and peeked at.

But there is still more.

The performer says that the child claimed he could move things with his mind too. He could turn over the chosen sticker in the participant's own hands. 

The participant spreads the stickers out on the table and sure enough, there is one sticker turned upside down... and it turns out to be the chosen sticker!

This is so clean-looking you won't believe it.

People freak out, and yet are charmed at the same time by the story.

Both of these effects give you new principles and tools to use in new effects of your own.

How much? You won't believe this either.
