As you begin, you tell your spectator that you will be picking up on the letters in the star sign. As you progress you get pictures flashing into view or at least parts of pictures this is because you only get brief snapshot the images in your mind as they come and go as you try to pick up on their thoughts.

If you look at flowchart, your patter could go something like this for the star sign Capricorn I want you to concentrate on your star sign. Forget about everything else in the room, just focus on your star sign SPECTATOR CONCENTRATES Right let me try to connect with your thoughts; I think I am getting the letter A! SPECTATOR ANSWERS Yes The next sentence is said off the cuff and as a throwaway comment If they answer yes then you finished, as it will be either Aquarius or Sagittarius. Was that two A s? SPECTATOR ANSWERS No! Ok that s I sometimes get a little confused with the images flashing in my mind, but I do get a picture of an Animal! Now this serves two purposes here, firstly if they say yes you can use this as where you got the two A s from (AnimAl), I have found that this can hammer the fact deeper that you are reading their mind! Secondly, if they say no you are finished as their star sign will be Libra. SPECTATOR ANSWERS Yes Yes an animal, it is becoming clearer now I get horns, animal horns! I am also getting a letter S? SPECTATOR ANSWERS No Sorry I do have lots of images flashing up in my mind from you, this tells me that you are very focused and can be quite intense at times, these qualities are only found in Capricorns! SPECTATOR FAINTS! The audience claps and go wild, for you are a person of your word, without any pumping you have indeed divined your spectators star sign. 4
Now if you get a NO! The first thing to do is not panic, as we are trying to read a thought. All you need to do is remember this NO = POSITIVE ANSWER i.e. Yes, I did not get that as clear as I should have, I must learn not to rush Yes, I only practiced this a few times, Sometimes I get far too excited Yes, Can we try closing our eyes, this will make concentrating easier Yes, though I guess you are so creative I am getting many images at once. Ways for revealing the star sign when you are left with two choices 1. Do you know what my first thought was when I saw you?.now call out one of the two possible star signs and just wait for the reaction of the spectator. If they react positively, you know you are right. Take your credit gracefully. If there is no positive verbal or non-verbal reaction, wait and say: Though in the meantime, I have received your personal impression and I know that your star sign is.. Name the second sign. 2. Ah very interesting! You will never believe this! I tell you what my personal star sign is. Now just call out one of the two signs. If they react positively, you know you are right. Take your credit gracefully. If there is no positive verbal or non-verbal reaction, wait and say: I have heard that this star sign gets on very well with... Name the second sign. 3. I am getting very clearly. You then take a business card, piece of paper, billet and write down one of the two possibilities. Do not let your spectators see what you write. Look deep into your spectator s eyes and call out the star sign that is not written down. If the spectator says Yes! simply, put the card away. If the spectator says No!, place the card written side down onto the table or the spectators hand, ask them for their star sign, and watch their faces when they turn the cards over! 4. Write down both signs on a business card etc. Again, do not let the spectator see this. Then have your spectator call out their star sign and simply cross out the wrong one using a nail writer / boon writer / swami gimmick. 5 Using a himber style wallet have your star signs written on cards so once you tell the spectator what their star sign is you can prove you knew this by taking out your business card and showing them the sign on the back. This makes for an excellent way to get your business card into the hands of a spectator. Points and hints to remember 5

The zodiac signs, also known as "sun signs" indicate which sector the sun was in at the time of birth. The zodiac itself is the path of the Earth's orbit around the sun. Signs of the Zodiac The signs of the zodiac follow a pattern that never changes Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. The sun is always in one sign or another; it can never be in two signs at the same time. Each of these twelve signs represents certain positive as well as negative characteristics in human behavior. These twelve signs are thirty-degree segments of the zodiac and are associated with four elements: fire, earth, air, water, and three modalities: cardinal, fixed and mutable. We have all twelve-zodiac signs in our horoscope, and their effect is determined by the position of the planets in the signs and the interaction between the zodiac signs and the houses of the horoscope. On the following pages, you will find some information that you can study and use along with Astromental. 7
