Mental Tape Board by Evgeny Gorlanov
The prediction is right there from the very first moment. Visible, in full view, attached to the back of the board the entire time. And when the spectator freely names anything at all, a name, a word, a number, and the tape is peeled away, it matches perfectly.
No assistants. No electronics. No complicated setup. Just a compact, powerful prediction system that goes everywhere you go and performs reliably every single time.
The Mental Tape Board was designed by Evgeny Gorlanov with one clear philosophy in mind: take the Master Prediction concept, strip away everything that slows it down or restricts it, and leave only the essentials. The result is a beautifully minimal prediction tool that looks like an ordinary drawing board, packs into any bag without a second thought, and puts one of mentalism's most impactful moments in your hands without any of the usual baggage.
The core handling is clean and immediate. The board sits in full view throughout the entire performance. A spectator makes a completely free choice. The black tape attached to the back of the board is removed and the prediction is revealed. Direct, visual, and completely above suspicion.
What makes the Mental Tape Board a genuine workhorse is the range of ways you can use it. Tape and envelope can both be used as the revelation vehicle depending on your presentation, and they can even be combined: one prediction written on the board behind the envelope, and a second prediction on a piece of paper inside. Two revelations, one prop, one seamless routine.
The number of performance variations this system supports is substantial. Names, words, numbers, drawings, playing cards, predictions tied to events, audience participation moments, stage set pieces, and intimate close-up reveals all work beautifully with this prop. Whether you are performing for ten people in a boardroom or three hundred people in a theatre, the Mental Tape Board scales to the room and delivers every time.
Compact and lightweight at 24.5 cm x 18.5 cm, this is a prop you will carry without thinking about it and reach for constantly once it is part of your repertoire.
