OUTHE TOUCH
A CONCEPT OF MENTALISM RESTORED BY DANIEL MADISON
THE T O U C H VERSION 1
The performer introduces a pad of paper and a pen; he takes a good long look into his spectators’ eyes and begins to write
The performer tears off the paper and folds it before placing it somewhere in view
The performer then asks the spectator to name anything*
The spectators word* is written down on the pad for clarification, i.e. correct spelling and proof of the word
The spectator then opens the paper written on at the beginning and kept in full view the entire time to reveal a 100% correct prediction
THE T O U C H VERSION 2
The performer introduces a pad of paper and a pen and places an envelope in view
The performer asks the spectator to name anything*
The spectators word* is written down on the pad for clarification, i.e. correct spelling and proof of the word
The envelope is then opened and the spectator reads the letter inside…
Today I will meet a very friendly young woman who wears the colour red
I will offer her a moment of magic through which I will ask her to think of any word she desires
To which she will respond with the word *
*This can be ANYTHING, a word, a pin number, a car licence plate, the number printed on a bill, a playing card, a telephone number etc and the prediction note can be amended
to match ANY situation

A CONCEPT OF MENTALISM RESTORED BY DANIEL MADISON
Welcome to a darker side of mentalism and a theory, method, quantum that will surpass any prediction you’ll ever make. Here, in these notes I offer you one of three, of my
darkest secrets in deceptive performance. Through the following pages you will read my most secretive work to date and learn one idea that will open up thousands of
possibilities. By the time you reach the end, you will be able to accurately predict ANYTHING, you will be able to do this anytime and most importantly you’ll be able to do this on
anybody in the fairest and most chilling of performances.
I speak of three closely guarded secrets, to which this is secret 2, secret 3 is the method for CHANGE, and secret 1 will be released and made available for a limited time in the
near future. For now, read carefully and study well the instructions herewith, for should they at first appear bemusing, they will be closely followed by the devils touch.
I advertise this concept as RESTORED as this is my intention and not my invention, although this concept has been explored in the past, it has never been taken to an edge as
devious as the devils touch. The origin of the concept goes back over a hundred years to which the performer also states that it is not of his discovery, the original creator cannot
be credited as they are unknown by all who have studied the concept. The Devils Touch, is my approach and version of the concept.
THE T O U C H The Basic Setup
The Devils Touch is achievable by the means of double writing, achievable by the synchronisation of writing the same thing twice at the same time, achievable by writing with two
different pens consecutively at the same time. This idea has been explored before, but never perfected to such a level as that which you are about to discover.
Image01 is complete exposure of The Devils Touch; beyond this you will only discover the deceptive process that surrounds this image, for now, image01 is all you need to know.
06: 07:
Reach into your pocket and grab both pens together so that their tips are aligned, remove them from your pocket as shown in image08. The small pen should remain in the
shade of your hand.
To position the small pen into writing position, push finger 2 between both pens as shown in image09 then do the same with finger 3 as shown in image10 and position
accordingly as in image11.

The above script is a set script for me; I will keep the prediction in my breast pocket and await a friendly young woman who wears red, who I will then approach with the effect.
Although the prediction of the word is the highlight the attention to detail will be shared across the other key points: young lady, friendly and wearing red.
THE T O U C H THE DEVILS PEN
Initially, The Devils Touch began as a gimmicked pen, and although I disregard the idea, the pen may be of more use to you that the process of learning how to juggle two pens
in one hand.
To make the Devils Pen, you will need the small pen and two identical normal pens.
Take the small pen and tape it to the bigger pen in position to double write as shown in image21. You now have a Devils Pen. You will find that you can handle and write with
this much easier than holding two pens in one hand. Image22 show the pen in motion.
Take the other bigger pen and wrap tape directly around it in the same position as it is on the Devils Pen. This will be your decoy/switching pen should anybody want to check it.
GREEDY This suggestion of revelation supports a further level of impossibility to the effect, by now I need not explain the process of achieving the effect, therefore I will offer
you as advertised a series of alternative suggestions…
A bill/note/money is removed from the performers wallet and a word is written on it. The bill is folded and placed on the surface. The spectator is asked to name a word that
they associate with the bill. The word is then revealed on the bill.
This is achieved by the means of witching a bill, which is used as the pasteboard.
Soon enough, Version 10, 60, 100 and so forth will follow up the versions I have offered herewith. Open your mind to the possibilities of the concept and claim it as your own.
Share it with nobody and perform it rarely, for there are few and far effects between that will live up to this one. Save it for your big finish, save it for the effect that gets you
hired or noticed, use it wisely and always be ready to perform it.
I give you my best of luck with your performances and revolving ideas throughout your exploration of the Devils Touch concept. No matter how you achieve it, remember that
The final result is all that matters in magic.
