“T” – by Joseph Daniels contains Joseph’s much talked about closing effect which blends the charm of a tea leaf reading and builds to an emotional powerhouse.
The parlour/stage piece is a worthy act unto itself. Following the reading, the performer levitates a burning ember of fire and catches it in the tea cup only to reveal a piece of impossible knowledge that is revealed with a unique visual that leaves the participant stunned and delighted!
While hardly a self-working effect, this stunning set does require obtaining information and careful handling of both it and the participant. It is not for the novice.
In addition to the effects previously mentioned, Joseph details the history and practice of tasseomancy (tea leaf reading). In addition, Joseph completely explains his pre-show information gathering method and includes the one piece that working mentalists never share…A SCRIPT for the preshow process!! In addition he offers insight into handling difficult or potentially painful subjects with your participant.
And for the first time ever, Joseph will reveal 2 diabolical utility devices that he’s kept hidden for a decade. Properly utilized, the information for the effect can be collected in front of your audience, in real time…DURING THE SHOW!!

I’ve always loved the idea of the rapping hand, but have never liked the ones that I’ve seen in the past; they just seemed too contrived.
This version is the first one that I’ve seen that actually made any sense, so I knew that I had to add this to my arsenal, but I’ve learned that in the realm of bizarre effects, what you actually receive doesn’t always live up to the hype. Not this time…this is an AMAZING piece, and far exceeded my hopes and expectations!
An amazing idea from John Ferrentino, and incredible craftsmanship from Chris Sipes…
