BaseMentalKen Muller A collection of nine mental type effects and methods learned fifty years ago from people - not books. No confederates or gimmicks are used in any of these mental demonstrations. Simple - Profound - Effective. I have never seen these in print in any form. All were learned from older mentors during my teen years and never forgotten.

Furst TimeKen Muller Glimpses into the mind of one of mentalism's pioneers.
"Arnold Furst taught me a thing or two back in '59 that you ought to know - about presence and timing, charity and goodwill, and keeping an audience on its toes. Oh yes, Magic, too."
Six effects and related stories about Arnold and his mentoring of young folks. Some methods are very old with a new approach. Others will be new to the reader. Something of value for every mentalist and entertainer.

Scout AroundKen Muller One cup effects using a silicone collapsible drinking cup.
Innovative sleights, moves, and effects created when the Boy Scouts changed to this cup in 2009. Now, many silicone cups are available. These methods work with them all. One can use crochet balls, or nuts, candy, pebbles - most any small objects. No need for the expensive versions from Europe. This came first and is much simpler.
Chop Cup? Yes, several ways to gaff this cup, but you don't have to. Many exciting magic effects without the limitations of the traditional gaff. Move beyond a Chop Cup. Move beyond a solid cup. Always... | $12 to wish listPDF |

There is a bonus ESP card effect that will leave the audience speechless.
The 'explosion' is the belief in mind-to-mind communication.
This uses 'Once Removed' techniques and requires an ESP deck and book test familiarity.

Close CallKen Muller A profound demonstration of psychic or paranormal acuity utilizing a single volunteer while engaging the entire audience.
It is ideal as an introduction to any mentalism act in which spectator participation and rapt attention is critical, but can also work as a stand-alone presentation or a transition from conjuring to mentalism. You leave the audience in a state of stunned silence, trust and respect. There are no tricks - nothing to learn - no practice (not possible, actually). It is real. This is a natural, innate ability of all humans demonstrated in a dramatic way.
Impromptu. Can be... | ★★★★★ $8 to wish listPDF |
UntouchedKen Muller A Copper/Silver transportation in which the performer's hands never touch the coins.
A copper coin in the hands of one spectator changes places with a silver coin in another spectator. The performer is across the room and never touches the coins at all! No gaffs or gimmicked coins. Everything can be handled and is.
This effect can easily combine with other C/S effects, and the unique "Tweener" method can be applied to other effects.

In Your PocketKen Muller An incredible impromptu mentalism effect where a spectator reads your mind. You think of an object and the spectator names it. A different result every time.

All participants test their ability in making intuitive guesses as to the location of hidden objects. The results are better than chance and usually very astonishing/profound.... | $8 to wish listPDF |
More Than AdeptKen Muller An enhanced pendulum demonstration for a group audience.
A volunteer uses a pendulum to "read the mind" of other spectators with the performer far away.
This demonstration can easily have the greatest impact on a lay audience of any mentalism effect you may ever perform. It is not a demonstration of your psychic skills but of latent talents of each spectator. The purpose is to enhance the perceptual awareness of each spectator, enhance belief in paranormal abilities, engender trust and align group energy and focus. Thus, More Than Adept can serve as a transition from a simple pendulum... | $8 to wish listPDF |

Tap 3 TimesKen Muller
This is a multi-phase impromptu routine using three borrowed quarters or other found objects - just an introductory "attention grabber" I have used for many decades.
One coin penetrates your hand, then all three. With full attention now, the coins migrate one at a time to the other hand - not a 3Fly as the coins are waist high and the hands are shown empty between phases (no gaff or extra).
Five simple bits of magic in growing intensity and under increasing scrutiny - fully surrounded. Not for beginners. Moderate coin skills, confidence, and live human interaction experience required.... | ★★★★★ $8 to wish listPDF |
Full-On MystiqueKen Muller
The ebook details the history, theory, psychology, and techniques of the 'Full-On' coin production approach developed over many decades.
Four different methods are explained, each slightly different to accommodate different settings/framing, but each remembered as Full-On.
There are no effects in this ebook. Check out Eminent Coin Production as one way to combine all four methods. Each method can be a 'stand-alone' production mixed with other favorite methods.
The search was for the perfect coin production of one or several coins from thin air where both hands are displayed as completely empty. The standard... | $8 to wish listPDF |
F.U.N. Magic: Coin Production InspirationsKen Muller An in-depth exploration into four innovative approaches to coin production methods.
Swidle - the continuous concealment of a coin during other actions so that it is available for production when needed. The coin is idled with both hands shown empty using natural hand movements.
PileUp - adding a magical spin to the normal process of picking up three coins from the table. This plays with audience attention, expectations and sets several patterns of performance for later productions or coin effects.

China SpiceKen Muller
A unique coin routine similar to CSB, but using coins you already own. Using the enhancements of sway methods, these coins transpose in ways not possible with traditional moves. Two and then three coins handled by spectators jump from one hand to another, then from pocket to hand, and finally to a spectator's hand. These coins take on an international identity and cultural bias that is amusing and mystifying.
This is a multi-phase routine involving three different types of coins that goes far beyond a traditional C/S/B approach. A Kennedy Half, English Penny, and Chinese coin are used... | ★★★★★ $8 to wish listPDF |
Back in a FlashKen Muller
A multi-phase telepathy or telempathy routine that is unique, entertaining, and profound.
A volunteer selects several random objects on which to focus attention and memory. Sitting back-to-back with no possibility of visual cues of the objects or body language, the performer reveals glimpses of information received through mind-to-mind communication. There are multiple sensory events with different depth and clarity, always different in each presentation. The audience members are participants and not just observers and also serve as referees.
This is a stripped-down version of a routine... | ★★★★★ $8 to wish listPDF |
Magic Awareness: F.U.N. Presentation SeriesKen Muller
A collection of stories, poems, and reflections about magic - inexplicable phenomena in life that impact our audience, or you as the performer.

I wrote this a decade ago as a Christmas gift for magic friends around the world, but it could be an ideal gift to others or self at any time.

Fold CupKen Muller
An ingenious alternative to a Chop Cup where the 'cup' is constructed "on the fly" from a magazine sheet while spectators make paper balls, or crumple dollar bills. No gimmicks! The trickery is built into the cup itself and undetectable. There are moves not possible with a standard Chop Cup and ends with a transport to a spectator's hand who keeps the cup and ball. No difficult sleights or handling as the Fold Cup does its thing automatically. But, the special techniques taught moves the astonishment far above a traditional Chop Cup approach.

Triple By PassKen Muller A three-way transposition in the hands of three spectators - and the performer far away.
