Alain Nu’s “Howdy Doodle” is a powerful, real‑world demonstration of mind reading disguised as playful creativity. Three spectators freely imagine and draw simple doodles—symbols like a tree, a number, or a star—each folded, mixed, and chosen at random. Yet, impossibly, the final reveal matches a prediction Alain made before the effect even began. Blending subtle psychology, strong structure, and effortless audience interaction, Howdy Doodle transforms ordinary sketches into a memorable moment of pure intuition and astonishment.
From the Mark Strivings lecture, you will learn real-world mind reading and mentalism. This session focuses ONLY on effects that are both mysterious AND easy to perform.
Alain Nu reveals a smooth, deceptive glimpse control straight from Steve Draun—a move so casual it looks like nothing at all. The spectator calls “stop,” remembers a card, and within a heartbeat, the performer seems to see their thought hiding in a simple fan. Smooth, relaxed, and surgically clean, this is the kind of handling that makes real mindreading look and feel effortless. Watch it now and learn how invisible can truly look.
Mike Powers kicks off PM Principle with a razor-sharp twist on the classic “pick a card” effect—turning a familiar plot into a test-condition miracle. Blindfolded and driven by a “mathematical algorithm,” he locates not one but two chosen cards under impossibly fair conditions. Smart, cheeky, and deeply deceptive, this performance captures Mike’s signature mix of skill, structure, and sly charm—and it hits magicians and laypeople alike right between the eyes. Watch it now.

Alain Nu takes a single ordinary spoon and turns it into a meditation on focus, flow, and the power of intention. Watch this one — it’ll change the way you think about mental magic forever.
