My Word by Dan Harlan turns an ordinary crossword puzzle book into a devastating mind-reading tool that feels completely impossible.
A spectator opens the book to any page. They silently think of the answer to any word on that page.
You name it.
Then it gets stronger.
They flip to a different page, look at any puzzle, and focus on any clue.
You reveal the answer they’re thinking of—instantly.
No memory work. No fishing. No funny business.
It even works with your back turned.
The secret lies in a specially designed crossword puzzle book created by Dan Harlan, with hidden layers of clever methodology built into every page. There are no electronics, no peeks, no stooges, and nothing for the audience to suspect. The method hides in plain sight, and the spectator is literally holding the secret while you perform.
The handling is easy, the impact is massive, and the teaching is crystal clear, with detailed instruction from Nick Locapo.
Clean. Direct. Astonishing.
If you want a piece of mentalism that feels fair, looks impossible, and plays huge for real audiences, My Word lets you read minds as easily as reading the page.
"Wow! You can’t get much more direct or stronger than that. The prop is ingenious and beautifully designed. This is VERY clever, totally innocent and devastatingly deceptive!" - Marc Paul
"I love this! The prop looks amazing - it looks exactly like the thing it’s supposed to be but hides some diabolical secrets. Dan has taken all the hard work out so you can just focus on performing some baffling mind reading. I’ll absolutely use this - on stage and at home for friends and guests." - Alexander Marsh
"I love the look and feel of My Word by Dan Harlan. It is perfect for casual mentalism with a very natural looking prop. It looks and feels just like something you would pick up at an airport or gas station on the way to your show." - Paul Draper
