Patrick Redford’s Counter Intuitive: Master Mental Divination
Step into the realm of extraordinary mentalism with Counter Intuitive by Patrick Redford. This groundbreaking performance offers you the ability to achieve seemingly superhuman divination, effortlessly revealing hidden details and precise counts from complex visual information. Expanding upon the works of Tomoyuki Shimomura and Sebastian Clergue, with special permissions from Richard Kaufman and Sebastian Clergue themselves, Counter Intuitive is a masterpiece of modern mental magic.
The Unbelievable Effect Explained
At the core of this astonishing act are unique, double-sided game cards from the popular “Café Counter” game. Each card displays a chaotic array of café items: tea cups, coffee mugs, water glasses, to-go cups, cakes, spoons, and scattered coffee beans. The performer invites a participant to mix these cards and select one at random.
With just a fleeting glance, you will astonishingly accurately count and name every cup and glass on the selected card. But the feat doesn’t stop there; you’ll also divine specific details, such as the number of coffee-filled cups and those designated “to-go.”
Progressive Complexity & Grand Finale
The challenge escalates seamlessly as more cards are introduced into the mix. Despite the increased complexity and randomness, you continue to deliver flawless counts, now detailing not just the total number of café items but also identifying specific types – how many water glasses, tea cups, coffee mugs, to-go cups, and even the exact number of cakes.
The grand finale is a testament to true mental prowess. The participant secretly randomizes a final set of cards, counting the cups showing, and hides the faces from view. The total count now exists only in their mind. You will then successfully pull this final, secret count directly from the participant’s thoughts, concluding the performance with an awe-inspiring display of mind-reading that leaves any audience spellbound.

A packet of double sided game cards from the game Cafe Counter that displays a messy counter of cafe cups are introduced. Every side of every card depicts a different collection of beverages and treats that include tea cups, coffee mugs, water glasses, togo cups, cakes, spoons, and coffee beans splattered randomly about. The performer asks that the cards be mixed and one be held up. With a mere glance, the performer correctly counts and names the total number of cups and glasses on the card. As an aside the performer also correctly states how many of those cups are filled with coffee and how many of them are orders “togo.” Next the performer attempts that this be done with two cards and again successfully and quickly counts the total number with a mere glance. Next more of the cards are used and randomized to the same success, but this time the performer not only counts the total number of cafe cups but also identifies the finer details about the total collection. This can include the number of water glasses, the number of teacups, the number of spoons, number of coffee mugs, number of togo cups and even the total number of cakes! To finish the participant randomizes a final set of cards and counts the cups that are showing in secret and hides the faces of all of the cards from view. Now the total only exists in the participants mind and the performer successfully pulls this final count out of the participants head to a successful conclusion.
