When this routine was first released in the Pyscrets publication, 'Liber Mentis', it created quite a stir. It offered a means of performing both a lie detector type routine as well as an incredibly clean and direct mind read, devoid of any standard form of method. At the time, the text was only available through the Psycrets publication, but after the widespread approval it received, the text has been reworked and dramatically extended, offering 22 more pages of additional material. This new material not only contains another means of performing a clean, impromptu, and apparently impossible mindread, but it contains instructions for a book test that is unlike anything you have ever seen before!Imagine being able to have someone choose a word from a book, close the book and set it aside, and then change their word to any other word they can think of (and I'm not talking about a different word from the book, but any other word they can think of) - only to have the performer subsequently reveal their new word with NO fishing!
For the first time, this extended version of The Real Thing teaches you how to do this and much more!
Released publicly through this site for the first time, this text contains an astonishing array of impromptu routines! Any time you are asked to perform a feat of mind reading, all you need is a pen and something to write on.
For example:
On five (or more) different pieces of paper (business cards work well), you write a unique sentence, folding each card as you finish.
The participant takes all five pieces of paper, and while you turn around (or leave the room), opens one and reads it.
Once this is done, the Mentalist has a short chat with the spectator, and then tells them the sentence they were thinking of. The papers stay in the participant's possession the entire time.
No peeking, no confederates, no dirty work - Just Psychological Mentalism.
What do other Mentalists think?
"At last a routine where you really are doing what you claim! This is a fantastic concept that Atlas has expanded greatly. It has the feeling of real mentalism because it IS real mentalism."
- Marc Paul
"Page seven of your manuscript is worth whatever you end up charging for it."
- Dave Arch
"I really enjoyed The Real Thing... The core of the effect uses pure psychology which is just the ticket. The way in which this has been used to create a nice little lie-detector routine is very clever indeed."
- Derek Heron
"Rather than a physical peek, your method is kinda like a mental peek!"
- Seamus Maguire
"I must say I really enjoyed reading The Real Thing. If nothing else, it has gotten me thinking and that's when I know I'm taken by an idea."
- Nique Tan
"Thank you for making my copy of 'Naked Mentalism' relevant again!"
- Aaron Alexander
"Atlas has open up a world of possibilities here. Using this knowledge, you can play mind detective and catch your criminal every time. Very sneaky stuff. Excellent."
- Greg Arce
"When I first released Naked Mentalism back in 2007, I hoped that others would run with it and create simple, subtle, yet powerful effects that really do feel real. With The Real Thing, Atlas has certainly done that. It's a tour de force; intelligent, clean, and yet very reliable. Lovely work."
- Jon Thompson
And all of the above feedback was given BEFORE the additions to the text!
Here is a review of The Real Thing - Extended Version featured in April's Vanish Magazine:
"Is it really possible to read minds? After reading this e-book I believe I can, at least that's how I felt. Inspired by Jon Thomspon's Naked Mentalism, Atlas has taken the method to another level. I have been doing this and it really works, so it's not some pipe dream. It is very easy to understand, and this book is well written so you don't have to be afraid of psychological thinking. I couldn't wait to try it out on friends after reading and it blew them away. The great thing is, once you have learnt this, you'll have some incredibly powerful impromptu mentalism that will fool people badly.
"The method can also be applied to a book test. There is a gimmick book involved which is described how to make, or you can order one online from the author. I would probably just order one because it's not expensive, and save yourself a lot of time and trouble. I would say it's easily one of the strongest book tests I've seen in some time.
"For close-up performances, there is a great routine with business cards using the method. You can perform this on one person or several. There are a lot of variations explained in this e-book. It's the method that really impressed me because I hadn't come across it before, and my mind was alive with ideas on how to apply to other effects.
"This is some of the best psychological thinking I've read, because it's not hard to understand and even easier to put in to practice. If you could really read minds, this might be the way to do it."
- Paul Romhany, Vanish Magazine
This softbound book is 84 pages long and offers a means of entering the human mind unlike anything you've ever seen before! It gives you the chance to perform the REAL thing!
THIS IS AN ENGLISH-ONLY EFFECT!

DIEGO'S FAVORITE OUTSIDE BALL!
Color: Assorted, Size: Medium
JW PET COMPANY HOL-EE ROLLER EXTREME
This is the second HOL-EE ROLLER ball we have purchased for our Diego. He LOVES these! He now owns a black one and a blue one. He loves to toss these around the yard all by himself or have us throw them to him. He looks so adorable when he comes running back to us, with the HOL-EE ROLLER in his mouth and he has the sweetest expression on his face and is so happy he is prancing! He is a rescue Pit mix from PR. He survived Hurricane Maria and was there before, during, and after. If he could only tell us his tale.
The ball is sturdy. The honey comb design gives your baby the ability to grasp and hold the ball. Diego also likes to hold the ball down and gnaw on it. The ball has proven to be safe against his little vampire teeth. The blue ball was in our yard the entire winter during every type of element you can think of. It is is great shape. Diego plays with these balls constantly while outside. They are sturdy and he is able to get a nice grip on them. These balls are tested by the company to make certain they do not contain any harmful chemicals. The ball has plenty of bounce to it too!
The balls come in different colors but which color you receive will be a surprise.
JW products are AWESOME. Diego also has a trio of smaller indoor balls that he has had for three years now. They are still like brand new. He loves to play with these. They have grips on the outside for him to try to chew on, but he can't destroy them.
JW has other types of pet toys and products available for you. Check them out. Your dog will thank you.

Most favorite
Color: Red, Size: Medium
My fur babies love these balls they are their favorite. Any size dog can play with it because of how it's made. it easy to play with. It's made with a lot of opening and is made of a soft rubber. My Shepherd pup and Boston's love to play with it, and I had to buy 3 so they don't fight over it. The giggler will break easy and even the first day on rough riders, but they can still enjoy the ball itself even without the giggler. It size is about 4in. If Amazon gave halves Id give it a 3.5 because of the giggler breaking so easily but otherwise my girls still love this ball.

Wonderful toy, but for most dogs it's a toy you play WITH dog, not a chewie
Color: Red, Size: Medium, Color: Red, Size: Medium
I'm a dog trainer, and have shared my life with many dogs. For the current mini aussie, toys are a necessity and a lifeline. He is tough on toys, and we have certainly tossed many many MANY ruined toys. This toy is wonderful: the squeak is fabulous, it bounces great, it's easy to carry around, and great for fetch and a little tug. Love it, and so does he. But it's soft rubber, so it's a toy to be played JOINTLY with... not a chewie. It will create a lot of fun times and silly entertainment and exercise, but I will put it away when I am not closely monitoring and involved with the play. One of the photos is blurry but shows that the rubber is soft.

Stops giggling after a few weeks
Color: Red, Size: Medium
I have bought three of these Giggler toys. The dogs absolutely LOVE this giggler toy and it's irresistible to them, even more so than squeaky toys. The rubber is soft and flexible, and after weeks of tug-o-war between dogs, the rubber has stood up well and is showing no sign of breakage. However in two of the toys, the giggler mechanism has started to fail and barely makes any noise at all. The dogs have lost interest in them.
