2022 RELEASES
‘TEN GREEN BOTTLES’ (PDF) £15
This is a fun comedic mentalism routine to perform in a bar or restaurant that fully suits the location. A prediction is placed under a beer bottle and the spectator is serenaded and then asked a very odd question. When the prediction is opened it is correct. This will suit the eccentric performer out there who likes to be a little different... You could of course just play it safe, either way, it's a clean easy effect to perform.

PDF RELEASES FOR 2025
‘311’ (PDF) £25
Three thoughts, one billet, one envelope!
An updated twist on Annemann's classic effect 4th Dimensional Telepathy. Streamlined so as to use just a single envelope.
It includes two methods that allow you to cleanly place a billet (your business card) containing three written thoughts, into a single envelope and imediately pass it to a spectator to hold. You never peek at the card before it is placed into the envelope yet you can go on to reveal the three spectators freely chosen thoughts. Similar plots exist but both methods are probably the cleanest you could hope for. A detailed 14 page PDF complete with clear instruction on how to create all you need for both methods.
“With 311 John has created an extremely direct and efficient method for the classic 4DT. He’s managed to trim away all of the procedural ‘fat’ and left us with a lean, clean and mean routine! This is definitely worth knowing.”
