Reading by Mathieu Bich and Benoît Campana

Mathieu and Benoît's conference

Experience a new conference where you will discover new concepts and new methods that you will enjoy using from close-up to the stage.

Imagine being able to create a mentalism effect in small groups or even on stage without any props (really!).

Discover visual magic, doable in all conditions, new methods for your mentalism effects, and even new approaches for your prodigious memory effects! We will also discuss digital magic through a room effect that you will want to reproduce at the end of the conference!

MENTALISM:

- Explanations of several effects without accessories, from close-up to stage. (Tools developed: Cold Reading, Barnum Effect, Conversational Hypnosis, Indirect Communication Techniques.)

IMPROMPTUS EFFECTS USING WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE ON YOURSELF:

- Guess a person's date of birth without any questions, anagrams or peeks. A direct and incomprehensible effect. A new method never used.

- Predict, a card that the spectator will choose. The card is already on the table. Without any forcing, the spectator will think of the same card. No change, no equivocal choice. Very easy to do.

- Guess the face of two dice that we choose the spectators. The dice are normal and you stand at a distance.

- Have the spectator reveal the card by a friend, by telephone without ever speaking to him and without even touching the telephone!

- Predict a celebrity that a spectator will choose. Doable in close-up or on stage.

- A revolutionary method to make a torn and mended signed photo.

DIGITAL MAGIC:

- A unique piece transposition where the spectator sees their piece change on sight in their hand!
