The magician reaches into his pocket takes out a small note pad and tears a page from it. He talks about how powerful our thoughts (or willpower) are and how it affects our day-to-day activities. He says, let me explain, and then writes a sentence “I Can’t Do It” on that note and hands it over to the spectator to read and adopt this “negative thought” in their mind, and try to tear that piece of paper. The spectator finds themselves unable to do so.

The magician takes that note from them and on the other side of the note, he again writes “I Can Do It” He gives it back again to the spectator to read and to adopt this new “positive” thought in their mind and try to tear this note again. Surprisingly this time the spectator can easily tear the note.

Once the spectator has succeeded in tearing the note, you can ask him to try once more. He will be unable to do so. The magician says “Confidence is good but Overconfidence is bad. For all such feats, you have to be a magician.” and then proceeds to tear one of the torn pieces of that same paper.

A very clever prop that you can carry around in your pocket that will allow you to perform many Mind-Blowing feats of mental-ism. You can use it for close up or even on stage. The presentations you can do with this once you know the little secret will be limited only by your imagination.
