Mind Stunts 2
Kuffs, Patrik
(Based on 1 review)
Featuring on screen for the first time:
- Dove Roulette: An amazing rethink for the classic “Russian roulette” that brings it to an earth shattering new height. Some of you may have seen Patrik perform this effect on the TV show “Urban Magic”. The performer has a line of bags along the ground. He has a spectator slowly select bags the performer stamping on each bag as it is selected until only one bag remains. When this bag is opened a live dove flies from within! We know you will love this effect and the way it redefines what a “Russian roulette” routine really is.
- Un-Lucky: The performer continually wins in a 50/50 bet using his psychological prowess to outwit the spectator. A good solid and deeply fooling routine that could be played seriously or for laughs. This is something that we know could go directly into your show!
- Book Test 4 Dummies 2: After the famed Book Test 4 Dummies 1 featured on Mind Stunts Volume 1 Kuffs returns with another anytime, anywhere any book effect. The spectator seemingly just thinks of a word contained within a book (a borrowed book) and the performer is able to amazingly reveal what they are thinking of. A very simple to perform effect requiring little work but providing a huge reaction.
- HandKuffs: This interesting effect is perfect for those of you wishing to add something very different to your performance. The performer is locked inside a pair of “hand-kuffs”. Despite this the performer is able to instantly escape from the confined of the handcuffs. This could be a showstopper in the waiting. Think of performing a thumb tie routine with real handcuffs!
- Bank Light: A highly visual and interesting take on the bank night effect. We wont give too much away about this one but we know that it will be perfect for those times you need a strong, effective piece of mentalism that plays big and packs flat.
- DNA Revelator: A humourous revelation of a chosen card. This can be customized to suit whatever routine you would like to use it for. From kids shows to trade shows and stage magic this could become your new favourite way of revealing a chosen card.

“No kidding! You worked with Lance Burton? Tell me something... (leans in and whispers) Does he smell good?...”
Patrik Kuffs talking to a dove that’s perched on the back of a chair.
In this sequel to the highly entertaining 2003 DVD, Mind Stunts, Quebec’s Patrik Kuffs performs 7 more of his mental marvels for a semi-interested dove (semi-interested in a way a dog might be if you were hovering near his food dish). These are all direct effects accomplished by simple, clever methods, and include an eye-catching stand-up prediction trick using glowsticks, an attention-grabbing Russian-Roulette routine with a live bird in a paper lunch-bag, a deceptive technique for escaping from half a pair of handcuffs, and a great card revelation wherein “molecules” from a chosen card are picked up from a spectator’s jacket using a lint brush, whereupon the name of the card is revealed in the lint. The DVD also includes a handful of bonus clips, and, like its predecessor, is both well produced and fun to watch. Whether or not you’re partial to mental magic, Patrik Kuffs and his DVDs deserve your attention.
