Product details

David Sena & Peter Turner - Isabellas Star I

The performer after talking to the audience about astrological numbers and how to work them out, asks anybody who wants to participate in an experiment to work out the astrological number of someone they know.
A paper ball is thrown to select 3 random members of the audience; one of the three is selected This participant is invited onto the stage and is asked to sit with their eyes closed The moment the participant closes their eyes the performer starts to receive.. thoughts, scribbles something on a business card and seals it inside an envelope. He hands the envelope to a member of the audience so it can not be tampered with at any point.
The participant is asked to keep her eyes closed and is now asked to think of the birth-date she chose (both the day and the month). She's instructed, when the image is clear in her mind to open her eyes.
The performer starts by correctly identifying whether the date is odd or even (much to the surprise of the participant), he is also able to correctly tell the participant the star sign of the person they are thinking of and finishes by telling them the exact date they are thinking of (without asking any questions).
After the applause has died down, the performer asks the participant to reveal the astrological number they are thinking of for the first time. The participant's attention is turned to the envelope (that has been with the audience member the entire time). The envelope is opened (by the audience member) and the number inside is found to match the astrological number that the participant was thinking of!
Notes: No Preshow, No impressions, the participant never writes anything down and the astrological number does not tell you the birth day or month.

David Sena & Peter Turner - Isabellas Star II

“Peter Turner’s “Isabella’s Star 2” is simply unlike anything else. Without any pre-show, the mentalist knows the star signs of participants, even naming the exact date of their birth. If you know my Student Peter Turner’s thinking, then you know this is not at all a usual pumping system, anagram or other typical approach. It looks like real Mind Reading and intuitive perception.” -Kenton Knepper

Pete Turner is undoubtedly one of the most highly respected mentalists and his works are always highly sought after amongst his peers.When he speaks, we listen.

Pete Turners mind is never far from his work and in Isabella's Star 2, Pete picks up where the original (which was coauthored by David Sena) left off.He has listened to the feedback from owners of the original and as a result of this has reworked the effect from the ground up.There is no longer a need for complicated maths and the memory work has also been eliminated too.

The result is a true work of art and is one that you will be proud to perform time and time again.

David Sena & Peter Turner - Isabellas Star III

Combining new principles that are available today (that weren't available when I first started my journey into star sign/ date of birth divination) mixed with old principles, I am happy to say I can finally close the door on something that has been an obsession of mine for too long.

This is it, the last one in the "Isabella's Star" series. I won't be re-visiting the d.o.b divination premise again as I'm so happy with this, it makes me smile just thinking about it.

No more maths/ calculations, no more astrological numbers, no cribs, the participant never writes anything down (this is entirely prop-less), quick to perform, rock solid in terms of method and very little procedure.

The effect runs as thus -

The performer asks his/ her participant to imagine their date of birth written in the air. The performer then directs the participant to think of an imaginary name and imagine that their date of birth belongs to that imaginary person.

The performer explains that by imagining the date of birth objectively as though it belonged to somebody else makes it possible to divine. To prove his/ her point the performer looks at the participant and starts by revealing their star sign.

The performer then moves onto revealing the name that the participant merely thought of and finishes by revealing the date of birth!

For followers of some of my previous works you will know some of the methods in here - I want to be really honest and up front, it's how these methods work together that bring them into a brand new light.

I have taken into account your answers to a question I asked recently on my Facebook page and I've included links to video performances in a range of environments and video subtleties (inside the book).

English language only - if you are interested in takeaway mentalism then avoid this. For those willing to put in a little amount of work (nothing too pressing) you will literally be able to go out and do what you claim to do for real!
