A mentalism effect by Simon Edwards
+ The performer places a photograph face-down on the table.
+ A volunteer looks at three other face-up photos and secretly chooses one.
+ The photos are placed into separate envelopes and mixed.
+ The same volunteer chooses one of these envelopes.
+ The photo is removed.
+ It matches their earlier mental choice.
+ The face-down photo is turned over. And here’s the killer…
+ It matches both of the volunteer’s earlier choices.
This is The Third Man effect. It requires no sleight of hand. It can be customised to use any photographic images you like.
It is clean, almost self-working and is suitable for performers at every level.

Greg Arce

“Simon Edwards has assembled a genius piece of impromptu mentalism that fits in the pocket but packs a wallop.
“The scripting, subtleties and handlings make this an unbelievable effect that plays right into the mind of the participant.
“I had the pleasure of witnessing Simon performing this and the reaction he got was fantastic. I rank this right up there with Jim Critchlow’s Whitestar and Til Death Do Us Part.”
Dr Todd Landman,
Co-founder, British Society of Mystery Entertainers
“The Third Man, the three words – direct, elegant and potent!”
Paul Brook
“Another classic of mentalism has been born.” Mandrake, moderator of TalkMagic.co.uk“It is one of the better mental effects I have seen. The fact that you can put it in the pocket is great and the climax is just ‘honey’.”
Roni Shachnaey,
Co-founder, British Society of Mystery Entertainers
The best mentalism is both simple to perform and yet completely deceives the audience. The Third Man meets both criteria. 10/10.

“You can rely on The Third Man for a strong, flexible and unique punch when you need it. You’ll love it as much as your audiences do.”

Author of Naked Mentalism
