Idiom by Mike Shaw: The Ultimate Letter Tile Mentalism Effect

Want a mentalism routine that feels like genuine mind reading? Idiom by Mike Shaw delivers six minutes of pure impossibility with a simple box of letter tiles.

Here's what happens: Your spectator mixes up the tiles, grabs a random handful (say, twelve tiles), and from that moment on, you're inside their head. Without ever looking at their selection, you instantly reveal the highest and lowest value letters they're holding. No fishing questions, no sneaky peeks. Just clean, direct mentalism that hits hard.

But that's only the beginning. Next, you start naming words they could spell from their random tiles. Three letter words. Four letters. Five. Six. Even seven letter combinations, all called out in real time like you're reading their thoughts.

Then comes the prediction phase. You write down a number on a board. They add up the point values of their tiles, and when they announce the total, it matches your prediction exactly.

The finale? Pure mentalism gold. Those tiles they left behind in the box? You arrange them into a nine letter word and turn the board around to reveal you predicted that word too. It's a multi-phase closer that leaves audiences stunned.

Idiom isn't a one-trick pony either. The comprehensive tutorial features Peter Nardi and Daniel Chard teaching multiple handlings, subtle variations, and creative applications. Perform it as superhuman calculation, pure mentalism, or adapt it to match your performing style.

Everything arrives ready to perform straight out of the box. The method is beginner-friendly, making this perfect for close-up magicians and mentalists at any skill level. Whether you're performing at private events, trade shows, or intimate gatherings, Idiom gives you a professional routine that packs small and plays huge.

Mike Shaw has created something special here. This isn't just another letter tile trick. It's a complete, powerhouse routine that belongs in every mentalist's arsenal.
