Hewrites them on three separateslips of paper, folds them andseals each inn it ownenvelope.The envelopes are hidden in different locations onthe subject's body, such as in his pocket, his walletor even the tip of his shoe!The stunning fact is, at this point you alreadyknow what's written on every slip - ANDWHERE THE ENVELOPES ARE HIDDEN!The are no impressions or gimmicks of any kind.There are no one-ahead moves or dummy billets.Just three slips of paper and three unpreparedenvelopes. Everything can be borrowed.The spectator seals the envelopes himself, and caneven check to make certain the slips are untouchedbefore he seals them.But getting the information is only half of thisremarkable routine. The presentation brings thiseffect into stardom.The spectator now assumes the role of a capturedspy and you his interrogator. By using apsychological technique you break the subjectdown until he can't speak! Amid the laughs ofthe audience, you reveal where the envelope withthe information is hidden and what that piece ofinformation is.Next, you use your strange metal powers topsychically electrocute the subject with 10,000volts! you never touch the subject and he's notharmed in any way, but by a mere glance thesubject is thrown from his seat. again the audienceis racked with laughter and you reveal the secondpiece of information as well as where it's hidden.Finally, by pure mind reading, you expose everythought the subject has left.This isaquality act that has kept audiences amazedand amused for years. But there's more!Special Bonus Routine:Using the same method as in the above routine,you're able to control the thoughts of three peopleon stage.EFFECT:People from the audience think of different thingsthree volunteers could do on stage. This suggestedtests are written on slips and sealed, by theaudience in three envelopes.The three volunteers concentrate and are able toperform the acts written on the papers! One personmay be running in circles squawking like achicken, another may be skipping through theaudience. And the last volunteer may be singing anaria like a famous tenor!Whatever the audience thinks, the volunteersdo! It's an amazing act that few if any othermentalists are doing.

There are hundreds of fine effects designed forstage, stand-up or close-up 'situations, but few that can beperformed without the necessity of any special props or set-ups.Swami gimmicks, nail writers and peek wallets can be forgot-ten on the dresser and our best pieces never get seen by anyone.An unprepared performer cannot perform most of the effectsavailable, and so, often doesn't perform at all.If an effect is Real Time, it doesn't require any gimmicks.Of course, gimmicked methods may be slightly easier to use,but Real Time Mentalism™provides alternate techniques.Itisleft up to the performer whether he or she will use a specialgimmick he or she has ready, or entertain with nothing morethan borrowed items at hand. Real Time Mentalism is truly100%impromptu. This is great for those who want to readminds, influence thought or generally chill any audience at asimple request.This series of effects that I'm releasing as Real TimeMentalism" include several tricks that can be preformed "onthe fly", that is, without special preparation or special gim-micks. Some require more than one spectator or a few bor-rowed items, but all are designed for use in everyday situations.They're all tested in front of real people by myself as well as ahandful of professional mentalists before they're released toyou.As with all of the effects I publish, these are original andstrong. I hope you use these effects. That's what they're meantfor.Copyright© 2005 Docc HilfordFirst printing Docctober, 2005No portion of this book or original illustrations can be reproduced in anymanner without written permission of the copyright owner.r.o.aox546022 Bal Harbour,FL33154docc@docchilford.comDocc Co.Docc Hilford32Welcome to the world of billets and envelopes. For thoseunacquainted with this terrain, it may sound simplistic, butwithin that simplicity lies true beauty.In this wonderful place a person can borrow a few piecesof paper and a couple of envelopes and apparently read minds.There are no velvet bags, chalkboards or decks of cards; justbillets and envelopes.This world has been well explored over the years. Suchvoyagers as Charles Foster, Bert Reese, Al Baker and TedAnnemann have charted paths that lead to success here. Con- .temporary travelers have discovered short cuts and alternateroutes. Al Mann was my friend and personal guide through thismarvelous land of mind reading.Years ago, Al wrote and published a very goodmanuscript on Al Baker's Three Pellet Trick.Init he updatedthe moves so they were easier onthe mentalist. He combined atwo-ahead principle with the billet switch. It was very good, butI wanted to have all three envelopes sealed before any revela-tions were given.He and I spent quite some time going over my improve-ments on his essay. He liked my new approach. Al was also abig fan of Bert Reese and Bert's mentor, Charles Foster. Iincluded bits of business from both men in my version of thepellet trick. Al saw the potential of this combination. Planswere made to publish the new version, but sadly, Al passedaway before this, as well as a few other projects were finished.What follows is the routine I worked out after doing AlBaker's routine, then learning Al Mann's version. I still per-form it. There's a lot of theatrics in the routine; something notprovided by any of my predecessors.4This routine is ready to be dropped in to any show.Itbuilds with comedy and ends with strong mind reading. I'vebeen offered $500 to write up the routine and allow oneperformer exclusive rights. It's that good. You get it for 93%off that price.I've described every move, even simple billet switches.How to finger-palm a billet is explained, not because I thinkthat you don't know how to do it, but rather to make certain thatevery detail is explained. Nothing is left out.But that's only part of the value you have here. I'm happyand excited to share a completely new routine that will set youapart from all other mentalists. When you read the routine,you'll understand why. This is a bonus routine, included free.'Those who learn this system will have a Real TimeMentalism" piece that will make a reputation for you.Enjoy.Docc Hilford - Docctober, 2005I\.5IErr~ct:A spectator plays the part of a captured spy. He writesthree different pieces of secret information on three separateslips of paper. Each paper is folded and sealed in an envelope.The spectator places the three envelopes in different places onhis person, for example in his pocket, in his wallet or even inthe tip of his shoe!The mentalist plays the part of an interrogator. He wantsthe information and undertakes to discover both where theinformation is hidden, as well as what each secret is. He usesthree different methods of interrogation, including hypnosis,electrical shocks and brain washing!The audience is amazed that the mentalist. gets all theinformation through psychic abilities."For those of you who may not realize it, I should pointout that a very special guest is with us tonight. In London, he'sknown as an international jewel thief, though now reformed, anaccomplished gambler in Monte Carlo, and a cold-blooded spyin Istanbul. I'm certain he'd come up and assist me if you madehim feel welcome. So please, a little encouragement for asuperlative secret agent and consummate flamenco dancer.Alfred Baker!"Alfred Baker was anything but the types John had de-scribed. A fun loving, but small man, Alfred was better knownfor his obvious sense of humor than for any hidden talents.Alfred stepped forward amid applause and laughter from hisfriends.."Please have a seat, Alfred," John suggested. Alfred gotcomfortable, knowing full well that John had some devilishplot to entertain the revelers, possibly at his expense. Johnstood at the left between Alfred and the little table.John addressed the group, "Since we're exposing oursecret identities tonight, I may as well confess that I am anagent for the international think tank known as The Village. Ihave developed a three-stage system for breaking down a man'smind so he'll reveal any information, no matter how personal orimportant. Because this system can truly only be tested on amind that is as astute and razor sharp as yours, Alfred, I'veasked you to assist me."John removed three envelopes from his inside jacketpocket and showed them around. "Alfred, here are three en-velopes, each containing a folded slip of paper." John returnedtwo of the envelopes to his pocket and turned the remainingenvelope mouth down over the table. His fingers popped themouth of the envelope open and a single folded slip fell ontothe table. John picked up the paper and opened it, then showedit to Alfred and the partiers.7~~Bs8"tati(),,:[]~~~tB~1The ballroom was a tapestry of tuxedos, evening gownsand martini glasses. Everyone was having a marvelous time. SirEdrnund.Allemann, the party's host, approached John Drake,"John, be a sport01'man. Can you perform some of youringenious mind tricks for us?"John Drake was well known for his ability to entertain byapparently reading the thoughts of others. With a smile heanswered, "Certainly, Sir Edmund.Itwould be my pleasure."He handed his martini glass to one of the lovely womenpresent, grabbed a chair and asked for a small table to be set toits left. The partygoers gathered round the table, the chair andJohn.6
