From Beyond the Grave by Marc Spelmann

Created by: Marc Spelmann

From Beyond the Grave is a close-up mentalism effect by Marc Spelmann, designed to create a spooky, Halloween-themed atmosphere. In this trick, the magician appears to receive a message from a spirit or beyond, often involving a prediction or revelation that defies explanation. Spectators might see a chosen word, number, or object eerily match a pre-written message, evoking a sense of the supernatural.
