"Mantis is an elegant yet highly deceptive piece of prop-free mind magic. Fraser created a system that not only feels incredibly clean but is also mechanically very solid. This is an outstanding work and a must-read for anyone who loves this art form. "
- Alex Ward
" Fraser did it again! Achieving what we all thought impossible. A super, super streamlined mind-reading process. Mantis is very likely the Holy Grail! An elegant and simple way to reveal almost any word anyone can think of! Unbelievable! "
- Marc Paul
" Mantis is so clean, compact, and efficient. Feel your mind working at full capacity. When you first showed it to me, I could hardly believe it was possible.
It surpasses your previous work Progeny on every level!
It has a rare quality: the approach, performance, and audience experience no longer feel like separate parts. Everything is compressed, polished, and refined to become elegant in a way that feels impossible. It is unlike any other solution for the same plot.
Honestly, it feels like the moment an idea finally becomes itself. I can hardly believe you did it again!
You deserve praise beyond words, but this is the best expression I can make. "
- Rado Sheytanoff
" First of all, Mantis is the best birthday gift ever! Your brain must contain alien DNA. This book is amazing! When it hits the market, it will definitely be eye-opening! Thank you for sharing. "

I once thought that in the field of non-prop word guessing and what later became known as 'billet-less mental peek,' it was impossible to improve or surpass my previous works, especially based on them. At that moment, that feeling was close to the final answer. It is compact, elegant, reliable, and deeply integrated with performance.
Yet somehow, the work in Mantis manages to push these concepts even further, beyond what anyone can imagine, without using keywords.
This is not just a refinement of previous works, nor an update to old methods. This is a brand-new work worthy of independent release. It is built on the same impossible premise, but approached from a different perspective, pushing the foundations of my early thinking in a completely different direction, discovering hidden new levers in the alphabet and compressing them into something more compact, subtle, and deceptive.
The result is a method that feels almost too minimalist to be considered a "method." This is precisely where its strange beauty lies. It is not like a standard approach or a typical compromise. It is a complete, holistic system that feels almost automatic, utilizing structures and patterns directly built into the performance itself.
The audience thinks of a word and visualizes three letters in the space between you. As they perform this brief visualization process, a chance clue brought by a natural script gives the performers enough information to indirectly guess one of the letters. This letter guess has no direct relation to the letter of the word in their mind. Whether or not this guess is confirmed (you have a two-thirds chance of being correct), you are now in a favorable position to later reveal the words they have been secretly focusing on.
It feels like not enough information is given to the performers to know anything. No notes, no writing, no physical compromises, no keywords, and no obvious probing process. Viewers don't need to say keywords or answer a series of questions. They can remain almost completely silent, and during a performance, they don't even need to say a word out loud. Everything is rationalized by the visualization process itself.
Method is hidden within performance, and performance breathes life into it. The two are so tightly intertwined that there is no visible seam between them. It doesn't seem like a system disguised as mind-reading. It feels like the absence of the system itself.
Within seconds, apart from the visualization process itself and the performers checking their impressions, almost no other procedures are used; performers essentially gain a kind of paperless mind peek—a secret glimpse of the desired information, enabling them to subsequently reveal the words the audience is thinking.
It can also serve as a broader tool, used when you need to obtain information secretly, cleanly, and deceptively.
What changes is not the overall goal, but the path of entry. The supporting principles remain strong and familiar, but the way you get the crucial first piece of information has been completely reimagined and redesigned, allowing you to instantly narrow it down to a single letter. This shift makes the whole effect feel more natural, more dramatically plausible, more direct, and less likely to happen.
It's hard not to exaggerate how powerful and groundbreaking this approach is, or to fully explain why it's so powerful without revealing too much. This method does not use any keywords or name impressions as words, yet still manages to effortlessly read minds using only language and performance. It will allow you to carry this kind of mind-peeking with you, using it as a tool anytime to peer into the audience's mind and know what they are focusing on.
Somehow, the impossible is pushed further away, and the seemingly achievable boundaries shift once more.
It is mainly designed for the English language and alphabet, and the book teaches the method in this way. It also requires a small amount of memory work, but it is deliberately structured and taught to be easy to internalize within a few hours.
Mantis is a beautifully printed, oversized, 194-page paperback book in the Crown Quarto format, measuring 7.44 x 9.68 inches / 189 x 246 mm, printed in black and white on premium 118 gsm white coated paper, and finished with an elegant matte paperback cover.
