My Word is very clever and easy to do. The basic “cheat sheet” method for phase one is easy, but
will require good routining and/or extra crib effort to sell it well. However, a little bit of easy
memory work can elevate the effect and open up several more excellent presentation avenues. Phase
two is optional, but, with some ingenuity, can land a good one-two punch to your audience’s brains.
My Word CAN be performed with no memory work, but good routining is needed (like with most mentalism
effects) to sell it well. Hint: Phase two crib can be duplicated and sent to Apple Watch (not
part of the instructions, but easy to do).
One con: All the words written in the various
crossword puzzles have the same font and color. My suggestion is to have the words in the various
puzzles printed very lightly, which would allow for you to write over the top in your own
handwriting using various pens/colors to make it appear more authentic. It doesn’t look bad as is,
but I think this would sell it even better. Definitely recommended.
