This well-guarded secret allows anybody armed with the technique to perform an extraordinary feat of mentalism—100% impromptu!
Three ordinary objects are set on a table without prior preparation. You turn your back and ask a volunteer to think of one of the objects, free choice, and then you ask the volunteer to mix-up the objects—to rearrange their order.
It would be impossible—devastating to common logic—for you to know of which object the spectator was thinking. But when you turn around, you instantly reveal the selected item. Bob Hummer’s principle is total Devastation!
- Mentalism at its best!
- Impromptu! Mindboggling!
- No gimmicks! No Forces! No way!
- Leave the room, you still get it right!
- Perform blindfolded for dramatic effect!
The Devastation Principle—originally taught without a title and shared only to Hummer’s elite inner circle—is explained in detail on this video by Jay Leslie. Jay’s routine, “Musical Chairs,” is a prime example of the powerful nature of the coveted technique. Stump audiences and fellow magicians!
Use any three objects. Provide antique items and a mysterious story, or borrow the objects from around the room. Coins, cards, cinder blocks, people, umbrellas, paper balls, jelly beans—anything! The choice is yours.
The spectator can even hide a single object under three inverted cups, and you still get it right every time. Perform under “test conditions” blindfolded, or leave the room when the selection is made. Download today, Devastate instantly!
