REM will allow you to have anyone describe, with unfailing accuracy, the details of the performer's recurring dream, and is Dave Forrest's long awaited close-up version of his highly successful routine The Man Who Paints The Future.

This parlour mentalism piece found favour among magicians and mentalists worldwide who have already added it to their professional performances. It has been used by Dave in two major magic competitions and he has closed his parlour act with it during his engagement at the world famous 'Magic Castle' in Hollywood.

Your participant, using free will and their own imagination, will conjure an image in their mind, deciding for themselves on the pertinent details of your dream. With unfailing accuracy, the participant will describe the details of your recurring dream, perfectly.

Without switches or multiple outs of any kind, they will remove a single, un-gimmicked photograph from an envelope that has been in full view throughout and find that it depicts EVERY part of the dream EXACTLY as they imagined it!

And then comes the final kicker...

A spectacularly memorable revelation of a card the participant is merely THINKING of in their mind. Having told NO ONE the name of that card - it only exists IN THEIR MIND - you will prove that, somehow, your dream actually centered around that very card!

Dave Forrest's aim was to provide the same 'stun factor' as the original The Man Who Paints The Future, while making the whole effect portable, practical and easier to perform. Given that The Man Who Paints The Future utilises seven multi-colored decks and an actual painting on a large canvas, this was no easy task. However, he has managed the task with this, REM.

Easy to perform

Requires only basic card handling skills

Includes all the required digital artwork in a variety of sizes

This effect has literally been years in development. It is accomplished via layered, time-tested methods, woven together to produce the most direct effect possible while trading off as little of the magic that made it's large scale predecessor so memorable.

Your purchase comes with the DVD and gimmicks that allow you to perform this masterpiece. Every detail and nuance is thoroughly taught on the DVD and your purchase also includes the special artwork and new alternate endings.

I saw Dave baffle the sh*t out of a large room of magicians with this beauty! This is always in my close-up case, ready to go!

REM is a masterpiece. A multi-phase prediction effect with the spectator deciding every single detail only in their imagination. No switches or multiple outs and yet a single photograph shows that they have correctly divined every last element of the performer's recurring dream. It's mental in every sense of the word!
