Akronym (App) by Yves Doumergue and Conjuring Lab

Available Instantly


Impromptu, reliable, and phenomenal.

Imagine this: A spectator, Jade, rolls an imaginary die, anddecides that the result is 3. Then, with her phone, she consultsany Wikipedia article out of millions, for example The Beatles.She sees that there are links to other pages, in this caseLiverpool, Rock, John Lennon, Album, etc... Then, she clickson a link to navigate randomly from page to page; all herchoices are noted down gradually.

For example:
  • Majority
  • Statistics
  • Radio
  • Species
The magician then circles the 3rd letter of each word, to revealJADE.

Key Points:
  • This is not an app!
  • There is nothing to download, secretly install, or update.

  • Completely original effect.
  • Your spectators have never seen a similar effect, which allows you to stand out fromother mentalists who mostly perform mind-reading.

  • The phone is borrowed.
  • You can perform it in any circumstances, it only requires a spectator to have a phonewith an internet connection.

  • You have nothing to hide.
  • Akronym is natural and fluid to perform. All actions are performed in front of thespectators. You never have to hide the phone screen, no NFC tag, QR code, orstrange URL to secretly type. The spectator will suspect absolutely nothing.

  • Nothing in your pockets, 7-minute routine.
  • You don't have to carry anything with you, not even your own mobile phone. Whetheryou're in close-up, on stage, or in a situation where you didn't even plan to performsomething, you have a 7-minute routine at your disposal.

  • Leave a personalized memento for your spectators.
  • Tear off the notepad page with the spectator's first name and leave it as a souvenir.

  • Ideal personalized revelation for a company.
  • Reveal the name of a company from several words chosen by different collaborators.It's the perfect effect!

  • Visual effect.
Visual effects are always more memorable for spectators, but are unfortunately rarein mentalism. The final image of Akronym alone tells the story of the trick and itsimpossibility.
