Splunk! 3 Prop-less Approaches to the PIN Divination

A year ago, Daniel Sutton and I released a comprehensive, prop-less Q&A system to the Mentalism world- leading to rave reviews from some of the largest influencers in the industry, today.

Now, we’re ready to unveil our next joint release- An A5-sized book detailing 3 prop-less PIN Divinations (plus extra bits of gold littered throughout).

Both Daniel and I are quite particular about the prop-less material we learn, develop, and perform in front of modern-day audiences- only striving to perform prop-less material that is efficient, rich in presentation, and genuinely magical for laymen.

Over the last six years, we have applied our strict rules to prop-less Mentalism to the controversial PIN Divination. We have cut down on the use of fishing procedures, greatly reduced the mental gymnastics required from both the performer and the participant, and removed the controversial risk of such effects WITHOUT putting the entertainment value and emotional weight of such effects at risk!

Here’s the content you can expect with your purchase of Splunk!

Astro-PIN:

First published by me in 2022 in a now-unavailable manuscript, Astro-PIN is a PIN reveal that allows mentalists to covertly harvest emotionally-significant information about the participant! In the years since its initial release, this effect has been greatly streamlined and updated for 2026 (and beyond) audiences. Plus, additional subtleties and ideas from Daniel Sutton. This effect was the one that sparked our friendship, and now it introduces you to our newest creative collaboration.

A PIN Divination Fit for a Sit-Com:

This effect came to me by asking myself one question: “How would a real psychic, genuinely, go about divining someone’s PIN code?” To me, a real psychic wouldn’t ask someone to “think of their PIN code” and proceed with a direct demonstration. Instead, the revelation would come out of nowhere, as if the information came to the psychic purely by accident, and that’s how this effect looks from everyone witnessing this moment. This is strong enough to close a performance with a startling “plot twist” moment for your audiences to leave talking about!

Personality PIN:

Being published to the Mentalism world for the first time, this is Daniel Sutton’s completely prop-less PIN Divination. This is an absolute prop-less GEM that Daniel has been keeping to himself for years. After seeing Daniel absolutely fry knowledgeable magicians and mentalists with this effect at last year’s Blackpool, it inspired me to dig out my own PIN effects from retirement and begin sharing them with my lay audiences, again! What Daniel has done is take all of the best principles and subtleties (plus creating his own devious ploys) from prop-less PIN code work that has come before and distilled them into a coherent performance structure that’s paired with a presentation that reveals other details about the participant’s life, too!

More than just a book teaching 3 prop-less routines, Splunk! is littered with additional thinking and alternative handlings.

Daniel teaches his take on the classic One-Ahead principle, super-charging it with extra deceptiveness and maximizing the revelation potential. This take on the One-Ahead principle can be applied to other routines, such as Bob Cassidy’s Name/Place.

A performance framework to ethically divine the real PIN codes of participants in front of spectators.

The mindset and philosophy needed to feel confident in divining made-up PIN codes, but the story told after is of you divining the real PIN codes from people’s minds!
