A Card Merely Thought Of by Thomas Baxter

Imagine two spectators merely thinking of playing cards—without touching, removing, or peeking at them—and you reveal what they chose. In A Card Merely Thought Of, mentalist Thomas Baxter explores this compelling mind-reading plot using a normal, non-stacked, non-gaffed deck.

• Expanded hardcover edition: Baxter’s previously limited notes return in a 108-page book with black-and-white images.
• History and analysis: Explore Erdnase’s “Think of a Card” variations and the work of Vernon, Dingle, Berglas, Bowyer, and others.
• Four full presentations: Includes “Fish Fry for Two,” “ThoughtControl,” “Smythled,” and “Separate But Equal.”
• Additional contributions: The book also features work from David Alexander, Hector Chadwick, Mick Ayres, and Sean Waters.
• Book format: The hardcover measures 9" x 6", making it a substantial reference for your mentalism library.

Use the detailed history, theory, and presentations to explore different ways of framing thought-of-card revelations. The routines put the focus on participants’ choices, creating moments that feel like genuine mind-reading to an audience.
