Docc Hilford's
CELLULAR MITOSIS
$36
Suggested Retail Price $40
THE BLURB:
This is the trick that's so strong ,Docc Hilford has closed
his 30 minute mentalism show with it.
The features claimed here and by the performer are
ABSOLUTELY TRUE!
Here is what the audiences sees:
A spectator is asked to think of any thought. It can be a
name, a place, a date, a number, a color, any thought at
all. A phone number is randomly selected from any
phonebook. THERE IS NO FORCE OF THE NAME OR NUMBER FROM THE
BOOK! The person is called and asked to guess at what
the spectator is thinking. The person NAMES THE THOUGHT!!
The spectator speaks to the randomly selected person and he
tells the spectator exactly what he's thinking!
This is an incredible effect. Check the important features
listed below.
Also included are two bonus effects:
Nudie Call: An original effect using a spectator's cell
phone and a mini nudie deck. It's all done in perfectly
good taste and has some fun built-in comedy.
Call Me Up Sometime: is Ted Annemann's new phone test. The
pages of annotations by Docc Hilford analyze the psychology
of mentalism as seen through a different window.
If you could only do one mentalistic trick for press or
audience, Cellular Mitosis would have to be it!
Don't be left behind!

MY COMMENTS:
Docc is letting this go for an amazingly low $40US SRP. He
could've charged $100 and it still would've been cheap. This
is an effect that can be done essentially anywhere and
anytime, which is why it's part of his Real Time Mentalism
series. Now, if you're thinking that this is merely an
improved version of the classic Mr. Wizard effect, you'd be
right. However, Mr. Wizard requires cards and a code, not
to mention one other key component. This version requires
no cards, nor codes. The participant can think of anything,
just as the blurb claims. There are no forces or choices
from a limited number of items. Plus, you can call someone
completely unknown to you. And for those who perform for a
non-English speaking audience, be assured that this can work
in any language.
Okay, now you may be intrigued. Let's just say that
Cellular Mitosis relies on a very bold maneuver. When you
read it, I'm sure you'll be laughing out loud and kicking
yourself for not thinking of it yourself. It's all detailed
in this 36 page manuscript that comes complete with two
other effects. Both of these bonuses are card effects.
Nudie Call is actually quite good, if that interests you.
It involves a spectator randomly generating a phone number
which yields an amount of cards that is dealt to reach a
chosen card. That card, from a deck of cards with girls'
pictures on it, is the only card that has a message written
on it specifically for the participant.
Of course, the bonuses are just that. The real gem is
Cellular Mitosis. And I hope Docc reads this so that I can
convince him to pull it off the market in a few months. On
the other hand, perhaps the price will have a lot of people
complaining about it and very few mentalists performing it.
In the meantime, grab this while you can and don't tell
anyone else about it, okay? Okay.
