Everything You Need To Know About Using
Mental Magic In The Church

Note: This is a DIGITALLY DOWNLOADABLE E-BOOK ONLY.

Eric Reamer’s first lecture-turned-best-seller, Think Ahead! is a timeless collection of hard-hitting mentalism routines that utilize easy-to-get props and things that you can make on your own to share a solid Gospel message. This lecture/book went on to be sold out 6 different times, and sparked what has been Eric’s most-requested stage/parlor show over his 37+ year career.

Is It Possible to Foreknow the Future?
This has been one of Eric’s strongest routines, and has served as a closer for his stage shows for almost 4 decades. With nothing more than a question posed to the audience, and a deck of playing cards, Eric has shared the truth of God’s plan of salvation to millions using this one routine.

Information Gathering
Eric discusses various ways of gaining “hidden knowledge”, and what to do with that information once you have it.

Mental Epic
Eric’s routine with this classic of magic asks and answers the questioon, “Have you ever heard the phrase… You never get a second chance to make a first impression?”. He then goes on to discuss the written record of each of our lives, and why we should make sure it says the right thing.

Cosmic Coincidence
With nothing more than a pen and a pad of paper, Eric teaches the creation story in a powerful way that the audience simply can’t forget.

Mentalism Using Playing Cards
There. We said it. Playing Cards and mentalism in the same sentence. And in a Gospel setting, no less. There are many who would tell you that those two (three) ideas should never be in the same sentence. Eric makes the case for why he believes that they should.

The Invisible Deck
Eric’s thoughts on this gimmicked deck have formed the foundation for a decades-long career and several world tours.

It’s Your Choice
This marketed effect, manufactured by Dock Haley’s Gospel Magic is used as a fast-paced opener that helps educate (and disarm) an audience, allowing them to better understand that the routines that will follow are nothing more than truths taught using usual, everyday objects… along with the mystery of a secret.

Comedy
Eric briefly discusses the value of adding comedy to your mentalism routines.

You’re Right!
A quick and comedic punchline that helps relax audiences of any size

I Know What You Are Thinking!
This is Eric’s handling of an age-old gag that always goes over well with an audience. This helps build rapport and relatability with the people for whom you are performing.

The Same Thing!
Another comedy bit in which Eric uses 2 spectators to show an apparently miraculous connection… when in fact, he is conditioning his audience to understand the natural nature of performing mentalism in ministry.

Two Person Codes
Eric introduces the idea of using an assistant, and some of the powerful outcomes that can come when you do.

Magnetic Personality
Eric’s handling of remote (or blindfolded) viewing of an action that, to the audience, simply cannot be explained. The methodology is SIMPLE, and can be learned in seconds.

Billet Switching
Eric introduces the idea of switching billets – using either mechanical switch devices or pure sleight-of-hand – to powerful results.

The Great Question Caper
In what appears to be evidence of genuine thought-reading, Eric demonstrates his ability to know “unknowable” information – in real-time and under the closest scrutiny possible. He then shares how the Lord knows all of our thoughts before we even think them.

20/20 High Sight
Eric’s handling of the age-old Q & A act. Super easy – if not a little bold. Drawing upon the hilarious sight of Johnny Carson perfoming his sketch, “The Great Carsoni”… Eric has the audience laughing and shaking their heads at the same time.

A Word About Illusions
Eric discusses his thoughts on how to implement larger stage illusions into a mentalism structure. Several ideas are shared.
