Effect
The Third Eye by Radek Hoffman is a mentalism tool that allows you to secretly peek at information written by a spectator. The effect appears as genuine mind reading—the spectator writes something down, places it in a business card, envelope, or billet, and you reveal their thought without ever visibly looking at it.
Full details
Third Eye teaches you how to construct your own peek device using common materials like business cards, billets, or envelopes. The method is based on classic mentalism techniques but includes updated handling and subtleties from Radek Hoffman. The tutorial is an hour and 36 minutes long, covering construction, two full routines, and detailed performance tips. You must provide your own materials (cards, scissors, glue) to build the device, which takes about 45 minutes to an hour.
Who should consider the trick
This is ideal for mentalists who want a versatile, everyday-carry peek device. It works in close-up, walk-around, parlor, and stage settings. Beginners will appreciate the detailed handling advice, while experienced performers may still find value in the refined subtleties.
Information on how difficult it is to perform
Building the device is simple—basic cutting and gluing skills are all that’s needed. The performance requires practice to manage angles and timing, but the tutorial provides thorough guidance. Fiddlin' Johnny notes that after about 100 performances, the handling becomes smooth and professional.
What magicians say
Fiddlin' Johnny praises the tutorial’s depth, calling the subtleties "superb" and highlighting how natural the device feels in performance. He says, "This one is very versatile, usable, and at any level, I think you’ll like it." He also appreciates that the method is tried-and-true, used by professionals for years. Mentalist on a Shoestring briefly mentions Third Eye in a broader review, noting its practicality for card-based mentalism routines.
The Third Eye is a practical, well-taught tool for mentalists looking to add a reliable peek method to their repertoire.
