Atlas Brookings got a great response from the magic community when he shard his amzing secrets for The Real Thing. It was first published in Pyscrets publication 'Liber Mentis' and the feedback was amazing. The new techniques Atlas employed were both refreshing and inspiring, if you utilise these techniques correctly you will not only have an accurate and astonishing direct mind read magic trick but you will also be able to demonstrate a great lie detection routine.

The routine was well hidden in print for many years, only being available within the Psycrets publication, however Atals has decided that due to the fantastic response he would re work the print, add some more detail and extended writings of over 22 pages of additional content! The brand new content teaches a few things, notably a book test for mind reading, the likes of which you will have never seen before and also ANOTHER method of performing a clean and direct mind reading magic trick that really feels like The Real Thing!

There has never been a book test like this before, listen to this and tell me it is not insanely impressive! You ask a spectator to choose a word from a book, they are to remember this and then close the book and place it aside. They are to take the word they memorised from the book and change it to another word, not another word from the book but ANY WORD THEY CAN THINK OF, you the performer then correctly reveal their new word, WITH ABSOLUTELY NO FISHING!!!


Now, this never before released working, this updated version of 'The Real Thing' teaches you how to do this and much more!

The Real Thing is now being openly released to the masses of our community and we at the Merchant of Magic can forsee a LOT of new mentalists roaming around performing amazing feats of mind reading and mentalism because you do not need a huge array of props to perform these miracles, all you need is some paper and a pen. This really is The Real Thing!

For example:

On five (or more) different pieces of paper (business cards work well) you write a unique sentence, folding each card as you finish.

The participant takes all five pieces of paper, and while you turn around (or leave the room), opens one and reads it.

Once this is done, the Mentalist has a short chat with the spectator, and then tells them the sentence they were thinking of. The papers stay in the participant's possession the entire time.

No peeking, no confederates, no dirty work - Just REAL psychological Mentalism.

What do all the other Professional Mindreaders think?

"At last a routine where you really are doing what you claim! This is a fantastic concept that Atlas has expanded greatly. It has the feeling of real mentalism because it IS real mentalism."
- Marc Paul, Entertainer and author of "The Fleetwood Notes"

"Page seven of your manuscript is worth whatever you end up charging for it."
- Dave Arch, Author of 'Mind Game'

"I really enjoyed 'The Real Thing'...The core of the effect uses pure psychology which is just the ticket. The way in which this has been used to create a nice little lie-detector routine is very clever indeed."
- Derek Heron, Corporate Entertainer

"Rather than a physical peek, your method is kinda like a mental peek!"
- Seamus Maguire

"I must say I really enjoyed reading 'The Real Thing'. If nothing else, it has gotten me thinking and that's when I know I'm taken by an idea."
- Nique Tan

"Thank you for making my copy of 'Naked Mentalism' relevant again!"
- Aaron Alexander, Author of The Pygmalion Effects

"Atlas has open up a world of possibilities here. Using this knowledge you can play mind detective and catch your criminal every time. Very sneaky stuff. Excellent."
- Greg Arce, Author of Deep Thought, Four Thought, and Lost in Thought

"When I first released Naked Mentalism back in 2007, I hoped that others would run with it and create simple, subtle, yet powerful effects that really do feel real. With 'The Real Thing', Atlas has certainly done that. It's a tour de force; intelligent, clean and yet very reliable. Lovely work."
- Jon Thompson, Author of the 'Naked Mentalism' Series

And all of the above feedback was given BEFORE the additions to the text!

Here is a review of "The Real Thing" featured in April's Vanish Magazine:

"Is it really possible to read minds? After reading this e-book I believe I can, at least that's how I felt. Inspired by Jon Thomspons' Naked Mentalism, Atlas has taken the method to another level. I have been doing this and it really works, so it's not some pipe dream. It is very easy to understand and this book is well written so you don't have to be afraid of psychological thinking. I couldn't wait to try it out on friends after reading and it blew them away. The great thing is once you have learnt this you'll have some incredibly powerful impromptu mentalism that will fool people badly.

The method can also be applied to a book test. There is a gimmick book involved which is described how to make, or you can order one online from the author. I would probably just order one because it's not expensive and save yourself a lot of time and trouble. I would say it's easily one of the strongest book tests I've seen in some time.

For close-up performances there is a great routine with business cards using the method. You can perform this on one person or several. There are a lot of variations explained in this e-book. It's the method that really impressed me because I hadn't come across it before, and my mind was alive with ideas on how to apply to other effects.

This is some of the best psychological thinking I've read, because it's not hard to understand and even easier to put in to practice. If you could really read minds this might be the way to do it."
- Paul Romhany, Vanish Magazine

The book is 41 pages long and offers a means of entering the human mind unlike anything you've ever seen before! It gives you the chance to perform the REAL thing!

NOTE: THIS IS AN ENGLISH LANGUAGE ONLY EFFECT!

Soft, Cooling Pillowcase That Smooths Out Chunky Filling
Color: White, Size: King, Color: White, Size: King
I accidentally ordered the king size instead of queen, but it still fits my shredded latex foam pillow fairly well and feels comfortable. The pillow has small but chunky latex shreds, and the added foam layer in this pillowcase not only smooths out those chunks but also adds a bit of extra thick comfort, making the pillow feel more uniform. ​ It seems to help with temperature regulation—if anything, it’s subtly cooler or at least not any warmer than my previous pillowcase. I’ve washed it twice so far, and it shows no wear and seems well built, so it should hold up over time and seems totally washable. Overall, it’s a very functional item, and compared with similar products, the value seems reasonable; I’m happy with the purchase and just wish I had ordered the right size. ​

Good quality cover
Color: White, Size: Queen, Color: White, Size: Queen
First, this pillow cover arrived in a plastic bag (see 4th photo), not a box as the photos online show. Although that does not matter to me, it may matter to other people such as those who intend to give this as a gift. One of the photos I included shows the fabric makeup which is mostly polyester and memory foam with the outer cover having “40% Bamboo Rayon.” It seems like an overstatement to me to market this product as a “quilted bamboo pillow cover” where there’s very little, if any, actual bamboo in it. If you have read up on what “bamboo rayon” actually is, you’ll understand. The material make up aside, the cover is soft and puffier than a cotton pillowcase. Bamboo rayon does have qualities that allow airflow for a cooling type of effect. It washes very nicely. As for the size of the pillar cover, I have tried several pillows inside this case, and the case is at least 2 inches longer than every standard pillow I own (See second photo). Pillowcases with a zipper generally are more fitted in every dimension. This pillow cover fits in all dimensions, except for it is longer than necessary. Not a horrible thing, but worth mentioning. The sewing of this product is good. It has a standard plastic zipper. There’s piping around the entire seam area for touch of class. The gray piping on mine matches the quilting. This is not quilting of the standard sense where threads go through to the other side. It is more of a faux quilting, which you can that on the inside in the photo with the tag. Overall, it seems to be a good product especially for people who sweat when they sleep. Quilted Bamboo Pillow Cover Collection – Cooling Pillow Protector with Zipper – Soft, Breathable & Washable Fabric (White, Queen) $19.99 at the time of this review

Very easy and convenient
Color: White, Size: Queen
Absolutely in love with this pillow case. I have a tendency to let the kids on the bed with snacks and it’s helpful to just be able to take the case off and put it in the washer when it’s dirty

Very comfortable and supportive.
I really am quite amazed with these pillows. As with most people who suffer from neck and back pain it's almost impossible to find a comfortable pillow. One year I must have went through 20 sets trying to find the right pillow. I received these and they were flat in the package. All you have to do is take them out and fluff them up a little bit with your hand and let them sit overnight. What's really nice about these is they are soft and cushy but they have a support that does not flatten when you lay down. Of note when I was looking for pillows, I noticed that these had a price of $110 which was crossed out and then a huge discount. Looking at the item now I see that the top price for the king size is $42. So I'm going to say that $110 was a comparison of what a good pillow might cost. I do want you to know that a set of pillows that I had been using were $200 a piece and these are very comparable to that. I am not having any issues overheating with these as I have a very nice cover on them. They are washable. My neck feels totally better. So all in all I am quite impressed with these pillows and very surprised that the first set I ordered is working perfectly for me. I am a side sleeper and needed my neck to be straight and these do the job with a nice little cushion on them.
