Monosemy

A sheet of paper is torn from a pad, balled-up and thrown into the audience. The person who catches the ball is asked to name a letter of the alphabet and this is written on the pad in full view of the audience.

The ball of paper is thrown repeatedly and the people who catch it name letters until around thirty or so letters fill the pad.

The last person to catch the paper ball joins the performer on stage and chooses six of the letters.

The audience then make the biggest word possible from these letters. When an answer is given the paper ball is opened to reveal that same word written upon it.

‘Monosemy’ was originally published as part of ‘Certified Mentalism’ in November 2018. If you like the effect and want it, along with the other great effects, then you may want to buy the book.
