An Indispensable New Utility Device for Mentalists and
Magicians
Discover a new utility device, one that's already being used
by performing mentalists and magicians who appreciate its understated power and
seemingly limitless possibilities. Utilizing the subtle principle illuminated in
Kenton Knepper's manuscript, X, and launching it into the next dimension, the
Xpert makes possible a wide variety of miraculously direct and virtually
sleight-free effects, including:
Out of Body Xpert
A borrowed coin is chosen from a handful of change, marked with a participant's
initial, has its date noted, and is tightly held in anybody's hands- yet the
performer invisibly extracts the coin; it is soon found in the pocket of another
participant some distance away!
Xpert Epic
The performer clearly and boldly numbers the blank sides of three postcards one
through three. Picking up each numbered postcard in proper sequence, the
performer shows the number on top and then writes his thoughts beneath. At the
conclusion, all three postcards are shown to have correct predictions and may be
given away afterward. No forces necessary.
Xpert X-ed Card
A card is freely selected (no force) and kept facedown while its back is visibly
marked with a bold X. The cards are mixed, and the performer not so amazingly
locates the X-ed card. But then comes the surprise-although the performer is no
sleight-of-hand wizard, he is a mentalist: the X-ed card is turned face up to
reveal the words "My Prediction" printed on its face. All the cards
may be examined or given away. Instant reset, ends clean, no switches.
Xpert Vampire Hunter
A participant selects and signs a card to represent her in the role of
"vampire hunter." To represent a vampire, another card is signed with
an ankh, the ancient symbol of the immortal; it is then lost within a packet of
cards. The participant inserts here card face up into the packet anywhere she
chooses: if she's a successful vampire hunter, the vampire will be found just
beneath her card. But when the cards are spread, the vampire card is gone! Yet
she's successful after all-her signed card is turned over, and inscribed on its
back is the vampire symbol! This card is given to the participant as a truly
bizarre souvenir. No specially printed cards, no palming, no swamis.
"The Xpert device is the missing ingredient to my work on
the X principle. No working magician or mentalist doing any X work can afford to
be without this!" -Kenton Knepper
