Description
SPECIALLY REDESIGNED AND RELEASED IN AUTUMN 1990
An oblong stand has four small, different coloured wooden blocks resting on it, each sitting in a shallow recess in the stand. The performer removes the blocks from the stand and places them on the table, then requests a spectator to choose one of the blocks. The selected block is then placed at one end of the stand. The spectator is now asked to choose a second block which is then placed on the stand beside the first one – and so on, until all four blocks are back on the stand.
The performer then removes a panel, which covers the front of the stand, to reveal four coloured spots. THE COLOUR OF EACH SPOT MATCHES THE COLOUR OF THE BLOCK STANDING DIRECTLY ABOVE IT. The performer therefore correctly predicted the order in which the spectator would instruct him to replace the blocks on the stand.
NO FORCE… There is definitely no force of any kind involved with this effect: the spectator has a completely free choice of each block. Every time the effect is performed the blocks will be in a different order on the stand.
AUTOMATIC… The principle used in this effect makes it automatic in working, and the new, improved design and method of handling allow the performer to concentrate all his thoughts on his presentation.
TOP QUALITY APPARATUS… the mini stand, which is ideal for holding in the hand, is handcrafted in teak and measures 17.8 cms in length. The blocks are approximately 2.2 cms square and are finished in high gloss lacquers.

Yes! Alan Warner is the King!
So you can’t find any cool, clever, convincing magic out there. Checkout Alan Warner and he’ll make you happy.
I really like this one! Easy to do and yet very, very clean. You can always predict the exact order a spectator choose to put the blocks down. They can place them in any order (no force) and the prediction is always correct!

Clever, clever, clever Alan – WOW!
This is a beautiful and spectacular effect. I never would have guessed the method on this one. As usual, the props are first class, thanks to the real magic in Alan’s hands. This is one you really want in your Warner collection. NO FORCE and the stands “predicts” the arrangement of the four colored cubes.

Expensive but worth it
This is my first Alan Warner effect and I am very pleased with the excellent construction and super clever principal. Alan’s stuff is not cheap, but it is fun to collect and worth the price.

Hopefully The First of Many
I had seen Alan Warner’s collection of Mini-magic on the Internet. When I purchased my first piece it was Mini Mental. I was not surprised at the beauty and workmanship that glowed as I opened the package greatly excited. Handling each component was a pleasure almost as if the pieces were made for my hands. My biggest thrill came after I had practiced a short time and showed the trick to my three children (their spouses) and seven grandchildren. As I revealed the prediction and was correct on each color all of the group’s jaws dropped in consort. I have seldom received this amazing reaction from this, my most critical audience before. Since that performance I have shown the trick at my club and to several other groups, some magicians, and some layman. The reaction to the prediction was always the same. The Mini Mental fooled every one that it was shown to. It was particularly satisfying to have the magicians completely baffled as they stood and admired the unique quality of my first (I hope of many) Alan Warner miracles.
