Leading Thoughts (2 DVD Set) by Chris Rawlins
Chris Rawlins is an emerging voice in the field of mentalism. His
no-nonsense, direct approach to mindreading is at once realistic and
utterly amazing. On this DVD-his first-he shares seven of his most
coveted original creations. You'll learn "Hack," the fairest newspaper
test we've seen, "Lucky Lottery," a streamlined and practical lottery
prediction effect, "Flutter," a tremendous thought-of name revelation
effect, and much more.
This is an evening parlor mentalism
performance where you get to see Mr. Rawlins work the room, define his
character, and amaze a room full of people with his polished brand of
mentalism. You'll learn:
Hack: Involve everyone in your audience with this clean, easy, and astonishing newspaper test.
Credit Guard: A
high-stakes yet playful mentalism "game" in which you correctly
determine where a spectators credit card is. You end with a hands-off
revelation of someone's credit card info, yet you never touch or see
their card.
Lucky Lottery: Six number are called at
random by the audience. You then reveal the selected numbers printed
upon a real, genuine lottery ticket, inside an envelope, inside your
pocket.
Flutter: You reveal a thought in a playful and interesting way, that gives both the audience and spectator moments of amazement.
E-Numbers: You
demonstrate super-human taste buds by recalling the exact combination
of candies that have been created by your spectators. A Little Lead In -
A moment to add texture to your show.
Drop Card: A spectator finds another spectator's thought of playing card, while their eyes are closed.
"A fantastic collection of workable material that you can perform as is or add your own style too."

"Chris
Rawlins has released a very interesting DVD set for the Modern
Mentalist. Chris is a charming performer, and his effects are clear and
to the point. I was impressed with his approach to Al Korans Newspaper
prediction Countdown. His method removes the stress, which I experience
when performing the effect. I enjoyed the DVD very much."
- Graham Jolley
"Chris
Rawlins' new DVD set is full of practical material that will delight
all performers of contemporary mentalism. His effect Flutter is the best
use of a certain classic mentalism idea released to date, and it would
be worth buying the DVDs even if Flutter was the only trick on them!"
- Mark Elsdon
