What the experts have said ...

“Pocket Minds cards are really clever and a great way to always have something with
you ready to go. They are professionally made and worthy of any entertainer making
their living with this art.” – Richard Osterlind

“I like your ideas. Pocket Minds is very good. It is very nice to have a mentalism act in
your pocket. Keep creating this kind of things.” – Luca Volpe

“Your ideas are exceptional. This is a very practical prop and great fun to use. A great
idea which works very well.” – Marc Paul

“Pocket Minds is brilliant. He really thinks outside the box in both method and theme.
And it is wonderful. But all his mini miracles have maximum impact. I cannot praise his
5 star work enough. Finally you can carry some outstanding miracles, with you, in your
wallet. And I will always carry at least one of his effects with me, for those unexpected
moments of mystery.” – Marc Salem

“Great to have in the pocket. Straight forward and baffling.” – Graham Jolley

"It is obvious that a lot of thought has gone in to producing this amazing little card. I
can imagine mentalists carrying this with them at all times and producing some
incredible experiences for people. There are ideas in the manuscript on how to use this
with your business card and handing it out at the end. There are also bonus ideas such
as words that will have more impact in your mentalism routine and phrases used for
patter in mentalism. I’m becoming a huge fan of The Unknown Mentalist as he is
creating some really practical and clever products. This is a great example of a working
performer and a great thinker. As the famous saying goes - “NEVER LEAVE HOME
WITHOUT IT!” This should be the motto for Pocket Minds!" - Paul Romhany, Vanish
Magazine Review


“I just bought your Pocket Minds product and think it’s really great. Not only the
effects, but also the tips, patter themes etc are great.” – Mark Einhorn

“I think it is excellent. In fact I personally like the first three routines in particular. The
idea of having two people simultaneously participating is also good. If two people do
think of the same word I would talk about the word synchronicity which means way
above the odds of chance. It’s kind of like identical twins and would be very compatible
with each other in psychic experiments. I also believe your Brain Knewmerology would
be an excellent follow up to this routine with the spectator taking out their own objects
such as a mirror, comb etc to work with. (This way between the card and the objects,
since the spectators are handling everything it seems that the mentalist has no control
except in a paranormal way.) Also you are one crazy guy. To put out as much as you
have in the last year is AMAZING.” – David Burmeister


“Design – excellent. Writing – excellent. Originality - excellent. I strongly recommend your effects
because they pack small and play big! It is a brilliant idea using only a single card for five simple to
do high impact effects! I personally would laminate the card. I love also the structure of your book,
specialy "Best Study Method" and your Tips - highly recommended advices.” – Dr. Hans C. Solka

This is a physical product which will be shipped to you. (There is an additional
PDF supplement which you can download.) The pocket minds card will last you
many years. It comes with a 20 page high quality multi colored printed instruction
booklet which includes valuable bonus information.


The 5 effects you can perform with the Pocket Minds card are

1. Divine a word related to a spectator's date of birth.
2. Divine a thought of word in another novel way.
3. A spectator thinks of a symbol and you are able to divine it.
4. A participant just thinks of an element and you are able to read the thought.
5. A spectator merely thinks of her day of birth and you can reveal it.

This amazing little Pocket Minds Card and the above routines come with a set
of very special features.


1. Fully readymade and completely self working
2. Instantly repeatable with different outcomes
3. Works anytime, anywhere with anyone
4. Nothing is spoken. Nothing is written down.
5. No sleights. No peeks. No switches. No swami.
6. No electronics. No pre-show. No stooges.
7. No chemicals. No impressions. No threads.
8. Fits in any pocket or wallet. No reset required.
9. Flexible enough for a 2 minute quickie or up to a 15 minute act.
10. Suitable for any venue - close up, street, walk around, parlor, stage.

Darn it.... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 2nd, 2016
Alright, first let me say that I bought this card to use in another routine I do. But after getting it I realized it wasn't going to work. So I kinda started out being disappointed-but I was still hopeful.
Secondly I have to say I own all of Paul Carnazzo's Pocket Mentalism Cards. And all of those are far better then this. For one, this card isn't designed as nicely. And I doubt it will last for very long in your everyday wallet.
Thirdly, the description is misleading when it says "Nothing is ever spoken". For at least half the routines the spectator does have to say something....I'll just leave it at that.
Fourthly, the routine involving the 6 shapes would have been so much better, effective and easier for the spectator if it was done w/ the standard 5 ESP symbols. And I would have been able to use that perfectly in the routine I had in mind when I bought this card.
And lastly, I'll say that one (maybe two) of the routines might need a calculator for the spectator.
All in all, I'm disappointed. Not totally worthless, but definitely not a champ. And definitely not for that price.

Overpriced and Underwhelming Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 26th, 2016
This is a minimalistic and convoluted attempt to capitalize off of the better effects previously released by this and especially, other mentalists. Pocket mentalism should be direct, easy to follow and to read. The card is a mess and filled with nonsensical jumbled printing. A spectator will have a lot of trouble with all the non-sequitur effects and instructions. This is worth maybe $4.00, not $30.00 ! Zodiac Gods was a decent effect and not priced as high when sold. Paul Carnazzo's pocket mentalism cards are far superior and simple to follow. The effects in this card are not even worth the time to read a description of. Do I sound disappointed ? Yes. So much better work has already been previously released, at 3 times less than this joke of a price tag.

GREAT POCKET MENTALISM Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 10th, 2016
This is definitely not for the beginner. Having said that, in the hands of a pro this can be dynamite. The combo of various principles are well disguised. The theme & presentation are woven in an organic manner. But this is not something to be done straight out of the box. A couple of dry runs advisable. Once you got the flow down cold, these are killer routines. Absolute winners. The actual routines themselves are well constructed. You could tweak it to give your spin too. 5 worker routines with just one card and always ready to go means great value for money. Overall a great performing experience and a great buy.

Solid Buy...but not for beginners Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 21st, 2017
A solid buy for me. Worth every penny of the price. Sure, tis not for mentalism beginners. Out of the 5 routines, my favs are the first 2. Surefire methods which always hit hard. Everything examinable and organic - no reset. Ample scope for presentation and drama. If you cant do the tiny bit of memorization needed, the card itself can be used as an 'open secret' crib. For about 6 months now, this card has been staying in my wallet. Good buy.

Packs small delivers big Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 4th, 2016
The Unknown Mentalist uses a lot of lateral thinking which is quite unconventional. The very idea of 5 solid killer routines using just one single card which is always in my wallet is so powerfully reassuring. These are seasoned routines meant for the seasoned performer. The mixture of methods is totally baffling.

Strong mentalism effects for the professional Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 21st, 2015
I like the Unknown Mentalist's material. He always comes at things from a different angle. This little five-trick card is so cool. You will keep it in your wallet to astound folks on a moment's notice. That said, four of the five tricks use the same technique--bring on Atlas Brookings--and the fifth is a Leo Boudreau-inspired "observational" mental effect. Now none of these routines are for the rank amateur, but if you know what you are doing, these are fantastic impromptu effects that will make your reputation.

GREAT POCKET MENTALISM Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 2nd, 2016
First up about the physical product. The card and the booklet are very well produced. The card is about the size of a playing card and fits well in my wallet. The card design is quite mystic and enigmatic. Secondly about the routines. There are 3 main routines and 2 encore type of routines. Extremely well thought out. The sequence of each routine flows smoothly and builds to a big impact. I've been playing around with the routines for some time now. Performed to over a couple dozen people. Great reactions always. The card can be used as a prop/aid and even as an open crib. I am a big fan of the basic principle involved. Here it is used so cleverly. Now this will be my go to close up piece out of my wallet.

Mr Michael Lyth Uni-Que the gentleman magician Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 29th, 2016
This is indeed a act in your pocket that can even be used as a ice breaker. There is also a supplement that has some tips and ideas available shared from Mark J Einhorn. My only constructive criticism is the size of the card for me would work better twice as big and still be pocket size and the font size increased this would aid those of mature years more easy visibility for there eyes with increased white space around the numbers as lighting at private functions can prove visibility problems ,which for walk around and less to fail or wear out, this is quit compact and aids less ware on the pockets Mark J Einhorn has pointed out some practical views which are worth reading in the supplement but I also from working with the effect it could be worked into a stage effect with the image of card projected onto back screen so the audience can see that the volunteer is not a stooge in any way strengthening the whole effect if performed on stage.
The UnKnown Mentalist is one of today's fastest creators of new mental effects and as I have through http://www.lybrary.com/karma-deck-psyclical-p-842863.html purchased his effects as soon as produced
all of which I would recommend especially his Karma Deck which just continues to grow
one new mentalist to really consider following

Pocket Minds Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 22nd, 2016
I am amazed with the Pocket Minds card. I like the first 3 effects in particular. If you use the first effect with 2 people it is a KNOCKOUT. Also if you're afraid that any pocket cards wont last just but a top loader (a baseball card plastic protector. It will keep ANY pocket cards for a long time but may be a bit hard to fit in a credit card slot.) By the way, the UNKNOWN MENTALIST is a nice guy and personal friend, with the number of effects he put out in the last year he will go far. I wish him the best. By the way, it is always easy to change these presentations to your own style if you need to.

Awesomely Awesome Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 16th, 2016
Multiple concepts and principles have been very creatively combined to produce 5 killer routines. Just the one card to carry in my wallet and I am ready to perform for one on one or for a room ful of people - from a quick one minute stunner to a ten minute mind blowing act. This is a giant killer card. This will stay in my wallet for a long long time.
