Four Told

Devin Knight

Illusion Concepts - Devin Knight

(Based on 1 review)
The performer shows a chart consisting of five colored ESP symbols. He invites four people to participate. Each participant is asked to just think of an ESP symbol shown on the chart. The participants write nothing down, they just think of a symbol. There are no restrictions. Each person could be thinking of a different symbol, or they all could be thinking of the same symbol. They do not share their thoughts with each other. The performer begins to get impressions and calls out three symbols. He says, "If I have called out the symbol you are thinking of, please close your eyes and draw the symbol in your mind."

The performer then tells the participants to open their eyes and clear their minds. He then asks them to concentrate on the colors of their symbols. The performer then begins to call out colors he is getting strong impressions of. He says, "If I have called out the color you are thinking of, please close your eyes and visualize it in your mind."

The performer does not ask any questions. The participants say nothing; they just close their eyes and think. The performer takes an ESP deck and hands each participant a face-down card. Only after each person is given a face-down card does the performer ask the participants to reveal their thought-of symbols. Amazingly, when the face-down ESP cards are shown, they match each participant's thought-of symbol.

For a stunning climax, the performer points to several people in the audience and asks if they were also thinking of a symbol. With no questions or fishing, the performer then reveals the symbols just thought of by members of the audience.

All this is done without any pre-show work of any kind!

NO STOOGES - NO DUAL REALITIES - NO QUESTIONS- JUST POWERFUL MAGIC

Comes with a full color plastic chart designed to last a lifetime and detailed directions. Easy to do. Use any ESP deck.

LOOK AT THESE REVIEWS FROM NOTED MAGICIANS AND MENTALISTS:

"I forecast that "Four Told" will become a classic of mentalism -- it's that direct, engaging, and inexplicable. A satisfyingly devious method is at work, and the straightforward presentation apparently negates trickery of any kind."
- Jerry Dunn

"Brilliant! Brilliant! I never thought it would work this easily. ****ing Brilliant!"
- Greg Acre

"Absolutely Brilliant. If I were to find any fault with "FOUR TOLD" it is that it is W-A-Y underpriced. It is worth many times the selling price to the working mentalist, it will DEFINITELY become a regular feature in my show!"
- Dick Christian

"Four Told is brilliantly clever and mind boggling to any spectator! A perfect Mentalism effect to inject into any stage or close-up performance.
-Jason Ring

So when I watched the demo video I was sort of impressed and thought I had kinda figured it out (I sort of basically did) taking into consideration there was a lot of editing done. You all know what I’m talking about then after you buy the product a key or key moments were purposely left out so you would have to buy it or something needed to be done which either doesn’t look natural or plain and simple “not the effect I would want to buy”. But then you read the product description and it very accurately describes the whole effect, what happens and promotes that there are no stooges, no pre-show work, no dual reality and no questions asked - really? The answer is yes! That is what captured my interest not knowing at the time it was so very accurate. The four spectators that you select/or volunteer pick everyday cell phone icons without any type of force, there is no prompting, no one-ahead writing or equivoque used at all. This really looks like read mind reading.

It comes with a nicely printed 8.5” X 11”plastic card for stage or parlor use or you can put it on your phone for strolling or presentations for small gatherings, all you will need in addition are some index cards and a pen. The instructions are printed on seven double sided pages and is very well written. Devin really covers everything you need to know of what to do and how and when to do it, if you buy this you will know exactly what I mean. Two different methods are taught giving you some different presentation options each having their own strong points. Yes, it will take some time to work through the instructions but I really think it is worth the time. Personally I would have like to have had a DVD or online instructions but that’s just me and also it’s a little on the expensive side. For these minor reasons I am dropping it a star but it’s still a great investment to blow people away.
