BEFORE THE THOUGHT IS FINISHED
A Major New Work From Kenton Knepper
PDF Version
Over 100 pages. Over 18 effects.
This book is dedicated to Kenton's friend and student Michael Mirth.
There are books that give you new tricks.
And occasionally there is a book that changes how you think about mentalism itself.
BEFORE THE THOUGHT IS FINISHED is one of those rare books.
Kenton Knepper has spent decades pushing mentalism beyond tricks and methods into something more personal, meaningful, and impossible.
This book takes another new major step forward.
Most mentalism happens too late.
Someone thinks of something. Makes a choice. Writes something down. Then the mentalist reveals it.
But what happens when you apparently know before the thought is even finished?
Not simply: “You knew what I was thinking” but “You knew where my mind was going before I did.”
That changes the weight of what just happened.
It changes what the participant believes about the experience.
And it opens an entirely new territory for mentalism.
THIS ISN'T JUST THEORY
Well over half of BEFORE THE THOUGHT IS FINISHED is packed with original effects, routines, and practical mentalism.
You get new approaches to predictions, forces, equivoque, billets, unseen thoughts, choices, timing, language, revelations and more.
These are not routines added simply to fill pages.
The effects demonstrate the powerful breakthroughs in this work.
They show you how to take these principles out into the real world and perform mentalism that feels more immediate, personal, meaningful and difficult to explain.
Some of these effects you will want to perform immediately.
Others may permanently change how you perform material you already use.
A DIFFERENT LEVEL OF MENTALISM
Kenton has spent his career challenging what mentalism is supposed to be.
His work with language, psychology, influence, meaning and participant experience changed forever the direction of modern mentalism.
BEFORE THE THOUGHT IS FINISHED pushes mentalism drastically forward again.
Only Kenton can make breakthroughs like these.
This new approach asks us to reconsider not only what we reveal or how we reveal it...
but when the participant believes the mind reading actually happened.
That shift has enormous consequences.
It can turn an effect into an experience.
A revelation into an impossibility.
A trick into something that carries genuine emotional and psychological weight.
This is one of Kenton's most important works because it doesn't simply give you more things to perform.
It gives mentalism somewhere completely new to go.
And it gives you a book packed with original material showing you how to go there.
If you care about where mentalism is going to be heading next — and you want powerful new routines to perform along the way — you need to read this.
This book is the twin or sister book to MAKING MYSTERY. You should really have both.
If you are a mentalist, BTTIF is a must to own first.
BEFORE THE THOUGHT IS FINISHED
The thought isn't finished.
But somehow...you already know.

I would say this book is a must own for all mentalists.
There has never been a book like this in mentalism before.
Once again Kenton Knepper has changed mentalism drastically for the better.
It is packed with effects. The best part tho are all the other things you learn to make mentalism really matter.
I would say this book is a must own for all mentalists.
I would also say it is powerful, but that is too light of a term for what this gives to you.-- Marvin B.

I didn't think it could be done.
Mr. Knepper has been known to push the boundaries of mentalism for - forever.
He's the OG of modern mentalism.But at a certain point you have to think, hasn't he done all that could be done? No offense, but what could be new since he already radicalized mentalism.
Then this. This book Before The Thought Is Finished. Mentalism really never will be the same once people get this.Mr. Knepper has once again upped the game for what mentalism is, and how exactly to do it.
Just wow.Everything else looks so silly now.
I will not doubt you again, Kenton Knepper.
Thank you.

This work has been the most exciting book on mentalism I've read in years.
It's easy to give a 5 star review. You just click the button. This is different though. I've been waiting for this.
I've been trying to work it out in myself how to change the Claim, Demonstration, Convincing Way of presenting mentalism. It endures for a reason. I just seek more ways.
This work has been the most exciting book on mentalism I've read in years. If you are curious, then you already know. Just get it.
If you think there is no such thing as real mentalism, then it's probably not the right time.

I’ve read a lot of magic books, but never have I had that happen!
This book will teach you to connect with people, using simple yet profound concepts about the human mind and social nature.
This type of info can upgrade even the most basic tricks to be more meaningful and memorable, it’s exciting.
Within the first 20 pages, I felt the emotional impact of a performance as if it had been done just for me, merely from reading an effect description.
I’ve read a lot of magic books, but never have I had that happen!
