I performed Anything at a gig, it was for a large crowd of people mainly in their 50's and 60's and it killed them, such an impossible piece of magic. I can honestly say this effect is the best thing I've seen/used/bought in a very very long time, just brilliant!! - Rod Hogg - The Irish Magician
Mentalism is an amazing form of entertainment and one of the last true believable feats of mystery entertainment left.
Anything is a piece of mentalism Ben Williams has been using in his professional repertoire for many years now. It ALWAYS gets a HUGE reaction, and the best part is that Anything is so easy! Whether you are a complete novice or a seasoned pro, we are absolutely sure you will LOVE performing Anything; it is one of those routines that is so simple, yet so devastating for an audience that you can’t help but smile inside whenever you perform it!
If you know Any Word by Ben you know the basic routine, Anything is a video tutorial of this with multiple live performances and a tonne of other ideas and routines for this. Anything is a full routine taught to you in full by Ben, this is not a new propless piece of mentalism or psychological technique. Anything is a routine born out of classic mentalism. Ben has shaped this routine over many years working out the most streamlined and effective way to perform, making sure it hits spectators HARD every time it is performed.
Performing Anything you can predict practically ANY piece of information. Here are a few things that you can EASILY predict using Anything:
The name of someone you have never met
A birthday of a stranger
Pocket change
Freely thought of lottery numbers
EVEN actions, predict what item someone will point to in a room for example.
The routine is worded in a way to lure your spectators in, Ben talks about this in the tutorial. This routine really is a massive garden path for your spectators to walk up, they don’t realise they have been had until the end! Don’t worry, this is not psychological forcing that could go wrong, Anything is 100% accurate, 100% of the time.
The prediction is written in bright red ink, can be sealed in an envelope or in full view the whole time and you can perform Anything in a variety of ways making it completely adaptable to your style.
That is not all though, Ben even includes his Anything Book Test routine. A full routine perfect for a promotional video, stage routine or even in close up. This version of Anything allows you to perform a triple hit routine that demonstrates both influence and mind reading to your spectators, making you seem like
Firstly you predict an action, such as a small choice, just to warm them up.
Then you then read the mind of a spectator and tell them a chosen word they are thinking of from a freely chosen book.
To top it all off you show a prediction written in red ink sealed in an envelope (or similar) that says the name of the book that they freely chose.
Just imagine performing this in a bookshop for a promotional video or on TV as part of a publicity campaign.
With Anything the secret can be learned and mastered very quickly and easily, the basic principle and routine can be learned within minutes. Yet the tutorial is over 1.5 HOURS as there are so many ways to perform this routine!
You can perform this routine as part of a card set, so you can meander into mentalism from your magic set in a totally organic and interesting way; you can perform Anything with a few items or a borrowed mobile phone and a couple of pieces of paper and a pen, making it practically impromptu - a couple of seconds set up and you are ready to go.
Ben also teaches a few different impossible locations that you can reveal your prediction in, from your pocket to your shoe, Ben talks about some marketed items such as gaffed wallets and also goes on to teach a couple of cool ways to have the prediction in FULL VIEW the WHOLE TIME!

Typically I don’t perform mentalism. Not through any dislike of that area of magic, I just feel that more sleight of hand heavy, move monkey stuff is for me.
Ben’s effect ‘Anything’ has tapped me on the shoulder and offered me a piece of practical, clever, powerful, versatile, creative mentalism that I absolutely cannot wait to perform.
Ben opens up with an overview of Anything and goes over some basic principles that would make this effect understandable if a beginner were to pick it up as well as a more experienced magician. Ben’s patter when performing is engaging, creative and hugely entertaining and each line justifies his actions when performing. You can see that he has developed the effect to have an excellent ‘one -two knockout’ punch as after performing the second half of Anything, you can see the audience’s jaws drop (Particularly in the sweet shop performance).
What I also found nice was that Ben touched on the small psychological subtleties that can maximise the impact of the effect when you perform it and can take it to the next level by employing certain gestures or mannerisms that really draw the audience in.
The props needed for the effect are listed and their uses clearly explained so theres no risk of misunderstanding of what is required for the effect to work.
Ben’s teaching is clear, understandable and entertaining. What I most enjoyed was the occasional injections of humour that made watching the explanation as enjoyable as watching the effect.
That being said there was a moment during the explanation where Ben or someone may have injured themselves as you can hear someone yell “God damn it!!” which made it to the final cut. If anyone got hurt I hope that they’re okay!
Ben then goes on to explain how Anything can work as a book test or an Open Prediction style effect, both of which work really well! During the Open Prediction section Ben goes over several ways of leaving the prediction in plain sight, namely under a beer glass, on a phone or on a card box. Personally I found that placing the prediction under the audience’s drink to be the best of the ideas taught as it felt more organic and theatrical while the other ideas just didn’t feel as justified and struck me as odd and less practical. However thats just me!
There were some questions that came to my mind when watching the explanation. For example, using a book to get a word then discarding the book (I’m being careful not to give anything away) I felt that the audience would still be aware of the book's use and see the punchline coming, therefore slightly dulling the impact. However I’m glad to say that Ben had that question, and my other ones, COMPLETELY covered. You should have no questions after listening to the explanation as Ben goes through all the ins and outs to ensure you are able to do this effect without any insecurities.
All in all if you’re after a powerful, off the cuff piece of mentalism in which you really can divine ANYTHING then look no further than this. Heck, if it can make ME want to perform mentalism then its definitely a winner!
Ben consistently fools me with his clever, creative, smart magic and each of his releases are exceptional and this is no different.

Anything is an amazing tutorial based on a classic principle reworked for a modern era. The effect itself is easy to learn and is suitable for all skill levels. Ben as always is a great teacher who covers everything from the basics to the other nuances of the effect. Another thing i liked about this is the outcome can be revealed anyway you can think off, with a little creativity. It is a definite must get for anyone looking for a hard hitting close up Prediction piece which takes up very little pocket space. The reset time is next to nothing and can I be repeated almost immediately for a different group. I definitely will be working this into my close up set for sure.
