“Impossible? Your audience will think so…”™
Two volunteers are handed a card containing 80 words (no repeats). Each volunteer is asked to mentally select a word (free choice). The volunteers mentally spell their words as you attempt to sense any reactions they have to the letters. Silently focusing on one of the letters, each volunteer is asked to think of a new word beginning with that letter. This process is repeated two more times, making it impossible for anyone to have any idea of the final words in the minds of the volunteers.
You ask the volunteers to concentrate on their final word selections as you write your impressions on the back of your business card. Only after you have placed the business card on the table do you instruct the volunteers to announce the words they have in their minds and have one of them turn over the business card. The words on the business card match the volunteers’ words!

“I love the whole process from beginning to end and laymen won’t have a clue how you did it… Putting this together is pure genius and incredible thinking by the creator. Best pocket trick I have seen in years! Highly recommended!” – Doug Canning
“… I think many will love having your list in their wallets and it will prepare them to have a strong mentalism effect at hand…” – Greg Arce
“Isn’t it a shame, sort of, that we never got to experience the effect performed for us, because this is a thing of terrifying beauty, if I may steal a phrase.” – Bobby Warren
“Thought Association Card” is unsuitable for non-English speaking volunteers.
