Akronym (App) by Yves Doumergue and Conjuring Lab

Impromptu, reliable, and phenomenal.

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

For example:

• Majority
• Statistics
• Radio
• Species

The magician then circles the 3rd letter of each word, to reveal JADE.

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 from other 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 phone with an internet connection.


• You have nothing to hide.
Akronym is natural and fluid to perform. All actions are performed in front of the spectators. You never have to hide the phone screen, no NFC tag, QR code, or strange 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. Whether you're in close-up, on stage, or in a situation where you didn't even plan to perform something, 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 rare in mentalism. The final image of Akronym alone tells the story of the trick and its impossibility.
