Most of the tricks are explained in the comments section, it seems.

he memorized the road for the car driving? trick

Does anyone really believe this is how its done?  :rollin:  :roll:  Solitary

Nah, that one seems a bit unlikely. Would be too easy to disprove. :P

The blindfold, the one he puts on first, could have small screens on it, showing what the camera mounted on the back of the car is seeing.  (No wires needed either, thanks to Bluetooth.)

The bottle breaking is an old trick - the glass is pre-stressed, then it breaks when the small piece of glass hits the stress fracture.

When he puts the hood on he moves the blindfold down so he can see through the thin black cloth. Out in the sunlight it is very easy to see through a thin black cloth. Try it and see for yourself. Solitary

Secret
The See Thru Blindfold is made of black cloth, and can be securely fastened to cover your eyes. It allows you to have a very clear view while looking very deceptive to your audience.

The Blindfold has two settings- "clear view" and "no view". You can actually let a spectator try and see through the blindfold- they can't. But with a secret move, you can turn the clever cloth into a blindfold that you'll be able to see right through. Yet your audience watching you will not be able to detect that you did anything to the blindfold- it will look perfectly normal and convincing to them.

Imagine the effects you'll be able to do! Let someone write on a chalkboard- you can tell what they wrote! Have your assistant hold up objects borrowed from audience members- you'll know what the objects are, and who they were borrowed from! The possibilities are endless!


The first, and least frequently used, involves the use of blindfolding materials made from thin cloth and tape, fast-spreading dough, and one-way coins. This works well and allows the mentalist a clear view of the road, but is expensive to manufacture and uses objects that cannot be examined by spectators.

More modern mentalists have discovered an even easier way to perform the drive using a real blindfold. They just shell out a thousand dollars and buy a talking GPS device for their automobile. The spoken driving instructions, combined with cruise control for freeway driving, render seeing completely unnecessary, but spectators never realize how simple the stunt really is.

Note: The original form of this stunt, in which a mentalist drove a horse and buggy while promising to keep eyes closed, is rather dated and almost never performed by modern mentalists.

I don't know.  But, it is pretty slick.  =D>

For the last trick how did he manage to make the guy get all three cups without hitting the spike on the fourth? Did they work together or something to the likes of that?

For the last trick how did he manage to make the guy get all three cups without hitting the spike on the fourth? Did they work together or something to the likes of that?

This should answer your question:


Three unmarked wooden blocks are displayed and one four inch steel spike. The
performer can have his back turned, be blindfolded, or even leave the room while
the spectator places the spike into one block (free choice). The spectator is
then instructed to cover all the wooden blocks with Styrofoam cups. The
performer walks over to the three cups and instantly smashes his hand on two,
leaving the cup with the spike underneath untouched!

 An incredible feat of
mentalism! Ideal for stage, cabaret, cruises, and other larger venues,
this hand-crafted beauty is a versatile magic prop that can be played for comedy
or high drama! Whichever way you choose, you will leave your audiences
spellbound! Please note that there are no outer markings and the system
used is sure-fire and no-fail 110% safe! Everything can be examined before,
during and after.

Magic Trick Store, Inc. is not liable for any misuse
and any injury that may incur due to carelessness on the part of the performer
