SleightfulSaturn Magic - Wooden Mental Logs by TCC Magic
This video is a tutorial showcasing the 'Wooden Mental Logs' by TCC Magic, available through Saturn Magic. The creator demonstrates a fascinating mentalism effect where a spectator randomly arranges wooden blocks with numbers on them, and the performer accurately predicts the sum of the resulting four-digit numbers. The secret lies in a clever design of the blocks, allowing the performer to secretly read the numbers from a hidden side, which represents place values. While the mathematical principle is simple, the creator stresses the importance of misdirection and presentation to create a convincing illusion of mental calculation. The routine is accessible to performers of all skill levels and offers great potential for audience interaction, making it a unique and engaging mentalism effect.
