"Mindblowing!! Radoslav has managed to take one of the most underutilised and underrated tools in mentalism to create a streamlined piece of propless mentalism that is exactly what it says on the tin. Simple & direct but also hard hitting"

Congrats on Ephemeris, a practical way to connect with others in cosmical ways.”
Ephemeris
Ephemeris by Rado Sheytanov is a prop-less star sign divination built around a structured sequence of choices made entirely in the participant’s mind. In the main handling, the effect is performed without the spectator answering questions verbally. No props are used, and no information is written or spoken aloud.
This is Sheytanov’s go-to divination, developed to meet his own performance requirements and built on the work of those who preceded him. It blends an eclectic mix of techniques into a single, cohesive approach. The result is a method that is clean, seemingly impossible, and complete. The effect relies on pure presentation rather than props, written information, or verbal interaction.
The method avoids typical “fishing” and progressive narrowing, relying instead on a framework that leads to a single outcome while preserving the feeling of free choice. The process feels natural and forms an integral part of the presentation, with the choices remaining invisible and occurring only in thought. It is direct, practical, and designed to function smoothly in both casual settings and on stage.
Ephemeris is intended for performers who value reliable structure, low cognitive load, and material that works cleanly without the spectator's input.
In addition to the core approach, Fraser Parker teaches his own handling (included in both the PDF and print editions). This version is one of the most direct star sign divinations he has created, updating and improving upon one of his previous methods. This ongoing refinement is expected from Fraser as he continues to push the art form forward.
The print edition includes bonus material by Fraser, offering a new way to reveal a star sign using a different approach to anagrams. He has removed the need to “throw out” letters, eliminating the feel of a guessing game while retaining the underlying framework. This standalone piece offers a look at the early thinking behind what he considers a future masterwork.
All material taught can be adapted to other languages.
