Building Belief & Routine Psychology
✨ Structure routines with a three-act play to naturally build impossibility and manage audience perception, making the effect self-contained.
🧠 Craft a narrative that taps into the audience's intuition and gut feelings, creating a "mind-reading" experience rather than a "trick" (e.g., "I felt him whispering inside my head").
🚫 Implement "breadcrumbs" throughout the performance (e.g., "don't say your drawing out loud," "I'll hide my phone") to eliminate logical methods like voice activation or app use, thereby enhancing belief.
📈 Progress from simple to complex to build credibility incrementally, like a basketball player incrementally increasing shot distance to make impossible shots seem possible, making effects "structured to be believable."

Audience Engagement & Handling Critics
🕵️‍♂️ Qualify your audience by identifying those who genuinely believe or are open to the experience, as they become the "star of the show" and reinforce the effect for others.
🤝 For skeptics, consider "bringing them in on it" or flashing the method subtly, making them feel like the "second smartest man in the room" and turning them into allies.
❌ Be prepared to divert or stop a routine if the audience is confrontational; the app includes specific "heckler" functions (e.g., "nothing" for scribbles, "negative" for "NO") to manage difficult situations or provide an escape route.
🎭 Utilize specific app features for diverse reactions, such as the "strangely" code word for an explicit drawing, which can be used to divert, get a laugh, or relieve tension in certain social settings.

"Not ESP+" Customization & Features
⚙️ Install "Not ESP+" by double-clicking the "Done" button in the "Not ESP" app, entering your email and license key, then copying the link and adding it as a web app to your home screen.
📸 Create fully custom routines using any screenshot from your phone (e.g., playing cards, star signs, Google Maps, Spotify song lists) as multiple outs, assigning unique keywords for each.
🎨 Enhance visual perfection by adding a black box to the top of screenshots in "Not ESP+" to hide device status bar symbols like Wi-Fi and battery.
💡 Utilize the app's ability to store multiple routines, allowing you to select a specific routine before performing to avoid accidental keyword triggers from other custom sets.

Versatile Performance Applications
🔄 Employ "freebies" by having physical outs (e.g., a drawing of a house in your wallet, a boat in your phone case) that can be revealed if the spectator's choice matches, adding another layer of impossibility.
📝 Incorporate cross-out methods on physical paper outs (e.g., drawing a boat, crossing it out, then drawing a house) to have multiple options on a single prop, allowing for adaptable framing and re-storytelling.
⏱️ Vary the time frame of the prediction (e.g., "I dreamt this last night") to make the effect feel different and fresh, even with the same underlying mechanism.
🎯 Expand beyond solo performances by having multiple participants draw simultaneously on their phones, increasing the chances of a "hit" and providing more comfort for the performer.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ The effectiveness of mentalism routines heavily relies on presentation, framing, and narrative rather than complex mechanics, as the core method often remains consistent.
➡️ Always qualify your audience and adapt your performance style; not every trick is suitable for every spectator, and sometimes ending early is better than pushing a confrontational interaction.
➡️ Embrace "freebies" and physical outs to add layers of deception and create moments that reinforce the belief that the effect is beyond technology.
➡️ "Not ESP+" is a powerful utility tool that allows for limitless customization and can be adapted to almost any mentalism or magic routine by simply changing the images and associated keywords.
