Idiom by Mike Shaw

Let a spectator freely mix letter tiles and secretly select a handful. With Mike Shaw’s Idiom, you reveal details about their letters, divine words they can form, and match a prediction to the value of their tiles.

The routine builds to two striking predictions: one matches the total value of the selected tiles, and another reveals a nine-letter word made from the tiles they left behind. The featured sequence is presented as six minutes of mentalism, with room to perform it as a demonstration of extraordinary mental powers or in your own style.

• Progressive revelations: Name the highest- and lowest-value letters, then words of up to seven letters from the spectator’s selection.
• Prediction finale: The spectator’s tile-value total matches your written prediction.
• Nine-letter ending: Arrange the remaining tiles into a word for a final prediction reveal.
• In-depth tutorial: Peter Nardi and Daniel Chard teach their favorite handlings, subtleties, and applications.
• Ready to perform: The product description says everything needed is included straight out of the box.

Use Idiom as a complete mentalism routine when you want a sequence of personal revelations that grows into a memorable, word-based finale.
