THE “POCKET CHANGE REPERTOIRE”

We asked one of the top mentalists in the world, Peter Turner, what he would do if he lost his bag on the way to a show. With only a one-hour time limit and the change from his pockets, he procured enough items and material to perform at a gig worth a thousand dollars.

In this comprehensive video set spanning just under three hours, Peter Turner shares his secrets, making it accessible even for absolute beginners.

In the first of eight video chapters, follow Peter as he navigates local high street stores, making strategic choices on a tight budget. Then, back in his studio, the remaining chapters will teach you:

Multi-phase book tests with borrowed, unprepared books, as well as how to reveal thought-of names and words that aren’t even in the books

A selection of devious routines with playing cards

Billet techniques

Showstopping calculator predictions

An unbelievable “candy jar” prediction that became an instant Mindhaus team favourite (no candy needed!)

How to construct deceptive peek devices from envelopes

Methods for revealing memories

Multiple “which hand” techniques with an ordinary coin

And so much more.

“Lost” offers something for everyone, whether you’re a novice or a seasoned pro. The material is versatile, suitable for close-up, parlour, casual, and even stage performances.

We asked Peter what he would do if he lost his bag, and documented his response. This is not a selection of brand new mentalism secrets, but a curation of reliable secrets that could save you in a tight situation. Fans of Turner’s work may be familiar with some of the material shared, but will be delighted to see updated handlings, thoughts and theories surrounding it.

“I learned a lot from this experience, from understanding Peter’s unique thought processes to discovering practical methods I’ll begin using right away. Even without losing my bag, you’ll find me performing this material at my next gig.” – Lewis Le Val.
