Close CallKen MullerA 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 list | |
UntouchedKen MullerA 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. 1st edition 2021, 4 pages. | ★★★★★ $8 to wish list | |

More Than AdeptKen MullerAn 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 list | |
Do Get The Name RightJohn WadeThe pro guide to better compèring. From the introduction by Billy McComb: He's written a leaflet ... I shall not call it a book ... on Compering ... this bearded idiot. I've read it and regrettably he seems to know what he's talking about. I have written a bit to make the omissions less glaring ... but blast me cups and balls, he does appear to know what he's on about. And he does get booked to do it ... and at good money too. Forgive me. I must leave you ... 1st edition 1984, 13 pages; PDF 14 pages. | ★★★★★ $8 to wish list | |
Mental MeanderingsCollosiniAn ebook of clever mental magic. Here are some of the effects explained: CLEARLY CHANCE - This is the usual effect, using a tray, but what a refreshing difference. The tray is made of transparent plastic (perspex). Three sealed envelopes are handed out to a spectator. The performer says that one of the envelopes contains a treasury note (e.g. £10) but the other two contain slips of paper only. The spectator mixes the envelopes and offers one of them to another nearby spectator. He then takes one himself and offers the remaining one to the performer. The performer places his down on a small... | $8 to wish list | |
Tap 3 TimesKen MullerThis 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 list | |

Full-On MystiqueKen MullerThe 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 list | |

Fun with StringJoseph LeemingA collection of string games, useful braiding weaving, knot work and magic with string and rope. From the introduction: Each and every one of us sees or uses pieces of string nearly every day. There are very few, however, who have been initiated into the wonderland of fascinating things that can be done and made with this commonplace article of daily use.

Anyone who once contracts a genuine case of "string fever" will have little difficulty in amusing himself... | ★★★★★ $8 to wish list | |
People I Have ReadStuart CumberlandCumberland was a muscle reader who did not claim to possess any psychic abilities. In this work he recounts many such 'thought-reading' encounters with notable people. From the introduction: I have visited many courts and travelled in many lands and have, from time to time, been brought in close contact with the world’s rulers and those who have made their mark in the world’s history. With a great number of them I have performed actual experiments, whilst others I have read without the direct application of any experiments at all. Upon the correctness of my reading in connection... | $8 to wish list | |
China SpiceKen MullerA 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 list | |

Back in a FlashKen MullerA 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.

Remote Close Up 1Renzo GrossoDuring the first lockdown period, we lived separated from the world, connected to friends only with the phone; to please my friends I started looking for effects to be presented remotely to people connected, without phone videoconferencing, so that they can use their deck of cards or objects at their disposal, without my possibility to operate, except by checking the game instructions. I searched for automatic effects and found principles that in some cases were a few centuries old; others, more recent, often conceived by famous and illustrious names; many of these, when they were published... | $8 to wish list | |

Remote Close Up 2Renzo GrossoDue to the "fault" of the lockdown, I began to collect effects to present on the phone to my friends, using their deck of cards or the objects at their disposal, without any possibility for me to intervene, except by carefully checking the game instructions. Many are the mathematical principles used, some "old" of a few centuries, others revised over time, others, contemporary, just as original. I tried, for each of them, to invent a story, a suitable setting, which was unique and original, fantasy, and which was consistent with the operations that performer and spectator were going to perform,... | $8 to wish list | |
That Other WorldStuart CumberlandA witty memoir-like debunking of all things paranormal. Stuart Cumberland describes the fascination of European kings and queens with the occult. He gives a detailed analysis of how Rasputin participated in the fall of the Romanovs. He thoroughly skewers the German government of Wilhelm II. He describes the fake spirit photography, the false claims of clairvoyants, how folks fall for physical manifestations of the spirits such as table rappings. Overall a fun read and expose of human gullibility.

Remote Close Up 3Renzo GrossoThe effect on the phone has always intrigued me: you cannot arrange the cards, nor do you see them, the deck is that of the spectator, you cannot touch it or see it. Then there is an insurmountable difficulty: you have to explain each operation in a simple, step-by-step way and, not being able to visually check, you are forced to prepare, in the presentation, control "stakes"; all this, however, provided that your description is perfect and, at the same time, flawless, without danger of misunderstanding. And then there is the "revelation" mode: it can only be presented as an effect of mentalism,... | $8 to wish list |
