Janus Pad by Andrew Edmonds
This is a great compact impression device for the working Mentalist! Although it looks like an innocent pocket-size pad of paper, it can be utilized to perform all kinds of Mentalism feats: guess numbers, words, drawings... the sky's the limit! Here's what others have to say: "The Janus Pad is fantastic. I instantly saw uses for it in my own work. I highly recommend it for those looking to add a real time, sure fire, easy to use, undetectable impression pad. Get one before it fools you!" - Luke Jermay "The Janus Pad is a welcome new addition to the family of props which make it possible to sneakily obtain written thoughts. I don't think any mentalist could fail to be impressed by the thinking that has gone into the Pad's design. It combines an old principle with several ingenious refinements which make it highly deceptive in the right hands." - Ian Rowland "The peek itself is creative genius and Andrew is to be heartily congratulated for his thinking! Highly recommended indeed." - Richard Busch "The Janus Pad is wonderful thing! I love the thinking behind the idea that uses the 'gimmick' in such a way as to make the secret undetectable and yet deliver the information to you instantly and effortlessly! Don't pass this one by. It really is different and practical." - Richard Osterlind Pad Dimensions Approximately 3" x 5" (7.6cm x 12.7cm)

Impressionable Mind Board by James Biss

For decades mentalists have been seeking the perfect "impression" device to secretly obtain information such as drawings, words, etc. Clever magical inventors have come up with all manner of gizmos and clipboards to achieve this "Holy Grail" of Mentalism. Up until recently, however, the goals of REAL TIME, ON STAGE, WITHOUT ASSISTANCE, and in LOW LIGHTING conditions have never been realized - or available for purchase. Now, from the creative mind of the Extremely Mental: James Biss comes a new approach to the most pure form of clairvoyance... design duplication! This is a brand new, real time, impression device (not a "clipboard") and it comes complete with a ten minute design duplication routine that's both entertaining and mind boggling! It uses a magnetophoretic display panel technology with a few nice subtleties to make it a terrific edition to your arsenal of mind reading magic. There are NO real lighting constraints, and there are no magnetic clean-up issues as with other approaches on the market. You can clearly see what they've drawn or written - even in the kind of limited lighting that most working performers have to deal with. You can easily reset the board right on stage! The props are innocent looking and the actual "board" itself is essentially "invisible" throughout the multi-phase routine, lost among the standard 8 1/2" x 11" card stock used in the routine. The IMPRESSIONABLE MIND BOARD comes complete with 11 pages of very detailed instructions and script ideas, consistent with the standard established by other works of James Biss. These directions will allow you to perform a complete ten minute three phased routine at your next appropriate gig - direct from his own stage shows. In the first phase of the routine which comes in the package, called PSYCHO WARM-UP, a third of the audience clairvoyantly draws the simple images that you're thinking of and drawing on the board. In the second phase, IMPRESSIONABLE MINDS, a freely selected member of the audience draws a more complex picture with their back to you - which duplicates the one that you're "transmitting". You then reveal your drawing before they do. In the final phase, DEJA VIEWED, you draw a different image that a different spectator is challenging you with. The image exists only in their mind. They draw after you've committed your impression to paper. There's never been a remote viewing routine like this! Leave your clipboards and folders at home. Start making your best impression at your next show with this breakthrough routine that's Extremely Mental, delightfully entertaining... and surprisingly affordable! Board Dimensions: Approximately 12" x 9 1/2" (30cm x 24cm)

Mental Board
The magician tears a sheet of paper out of a notebook and places it on the clipboard. He hands over a clipboard and pen to the spectator and turns around. He then asks the spectator to write any word or mark, to fold the paper in half and then hold the paper in their hand. The magician takes back the clipboard and the pen from the spectator, then takes a sheet of paper from the notebook and places it on the clipboard. The magician writes his prediction . Finally, the spectator opens the paper, and both are the same!

The Perfect Clipboard by Guy Bavli

The clipboard is one of the mentalist's most indispensable tools, and with Guy Bavli's Perfect Clipboard you'll be able to create effects that no other board can offer! Here's just one of the many possible uses: The performer asks a spectator (before the show begins) to think of any design or picture in their mind, and then draw this thought on a piece of paper. While the spectator is drawing the performer may have his back turned or leave the room completely so as not to see what's being drawn. The spectator then folds the paper and keeps it in his pocket. Later on, during the show, the performer explains to the rest of the audience what occurred and brings the spectator on stage. Even though there was no way the performer could have ever seen what the spectator drew, he removes another pad of paper, begins dramatically drawing his own picture and it exactly matches! The Perfect Clipboard comes complete with one 7x9 inch see-through board, one 7x9 inch white board, papers, pens, carrying bag, special gimmick and complete instructions with routines and performance suggestions.
* Everything may be examined
* No Copy Papers or peeling on clip board * No sleights necessary
* Only you can reveal the information--only seconds after the spectator has finished!

Clairvoyant Clipboard
EFFECT: Simply stated, you hand a clipboard to a member of the audience and have them jot down something on the paper clipped to it. They may jot down a name, a number, a "doodle" or a fairly intricate design. You instruct your volunteer to remove the sheet of paper they've written on and show it to the audience. At the same time the clipboard is returned to you and set aside. After the volunteer's image has been shown, inform them that it is to be destroyed-either crumpled up and placed in their pocket, torn up or thrown away. What happens next is entirely up to you. You already know what the volunteer has written and you may reveal this any way you choose! Beautifully made in Plexiglass, the ultra-thin construction of this item makes it a "must have" accessory in any performers arsenal.

Millennium Clipboard by Lee Earle
It's Lee Earle's latest and most ingenious innovation in clipboard technology! Magicians and Mentalists have always used pre-show impression devices to secretly obtain information for use during their performances, but never has it been so easy (or so sneaky). A transparent plastic clipboard is handed to several members of your audience, in advance of the show. It bears printed instructions for them to follow when writing their thoughts on the paper which is held under the low profile clip. They fold and retain their papers (it's the same paper stock you use in your office printer or copier - no wax, chemicals, or powders). They can look at the clipboard from the top, from the bottom, by reflected light, whatever - and they'll see no trace of their writing. Yet it takes you only a backstage moment to access every single word several people have written and every drawing they have made. This custom manufactured, 6 x 9 inch, transparent plastic clipboard will give you years of performances - all you replace is the paper and a little "Scotch" tape (that's your only hint!). You get lots of materials and suggestions for additional routines. The common sense principle employed is so innocent, and yet so diabolic, you'll wonder why no one thought of this before! The ad pretty much tells you everything you need to know ­ but it doesn't mention the 28-page instruction book, chock full of ideas, tips, and routines. He took the best stuff from his prior clipboard book, First Impressions, and added material specific to the Millennium Clipboard to give you a running start with the neatest impression device development in ages. You will find a variety of billets (the papers your participants write on) supplied with your Millennium Clipboard. Some are specifically designed for Question & Answer routines, using the same format of the previous impression blockbuster, the Pre-Show Pads. These billets get entertaining, meaty information from your audience participants every time. Other included billets use Astrology as an element for your pre-show 'surveys' and still more use Graphology (handwriting analysis) as your justifying premise. Both of these approches lend abundant credibility with the right audiences. For obtaining your pre-show participant's sketch to do a Drawing Duplication (or for any other free-form information), I've included a unique Permission / Release billet so devious you'll have difficulty suppressing your smile as you use it. Each Millennium Clipboard comes with an ample supply of the billets mentioned, enough for a dozen or more shows. When you need more, just run them through a photocopier. You can even use your own billets, customized however you wish. You get other materials too, including that 'necessary something' which makes getting your secret impression possible while appearing so truly innocent and above board. Accessing the information takes less than one second, something good to know if pre-show minutes are at a premium.

Telepad
The magician invites three audience members to record three totally random numbers in a notepad. The pad is then given to a forth spectator who adds up the column of numbers and reaches a grand total. As if by magic, this total sum not only matches the magician’s prediction but is ultimately found sealed in an envelope that has been in the possession of a fifth spectator the entire time. This spectator opens the sealed envelope and reveals the prediction that is written on the back of the magician’s business card. Once the effect begins, the magician touches neither the notepad nor the sealed envelope again! What can be more fair? No carbon, slates, slides, shiners, special markers, magnets, threads, stooges, pad switches. No multiple predictions. The sealed envelope is the only one and contains the only prediction! Packs small, plays big! Diabolically simple! Come complete with notepad, marker and instructions. No refills necessary!
