Design Duplication System

Richard Oserlind

(Based on 1 review)

Powerful design duplication with no gimmicks. No fooling!

Richard Osterlind's DESIGN DUPLICATION SYSTEM caused quite a sensation last year when it first saw print in ESSAYS and now, all of the components have been specially produced for you to put this miracle of thought projection into your act almost immediately.

Here's what the audience sees: The mentalist displays a stack of cards with the names of different objects written on them. A spectator freely chooses one and can change his mind if he wishes. He is now given a pad and asked to draw a picture of his object. The mentalist also takes a pad and draws a design on his from across the room. When the two pictures are compared, they are almost identical!

You receive the special set of cards, printed on quality, glossy stock and a booklet outlining the complete routine. Remember that this is not just a method - it's a system that you'll find easy to adapt to your own personal style of performing that utilizes one of the most diabolically subtle principles in mentalism.

With this booklet, Richard provides business cards with the words already on them, but the nice thing is that you can draw your own versions of them on business cards totally impromptu wherever you are; you do not have to use the cards Richard supplies.

I also like that Richard has chosen specific words (of items) that can be duplicated is only so many ways, making your "mental picture" almost exactly duplicate the picture that the spectator imagines in their head, and draws any way they want.

This is a complete routine in itself, but can also be used in pieces as part of larger routines.

If you are looking for design duplication, this is one of the best routines I've found. You can use it as is, or make up larger cards if you should decide to use it onstage.
