Mentalism & Spiritism in Magic & Conjuring: page 20

The Knowledge 2 is the anticipated follow up to the original set of lecture notes The Knowledge from Dee Christopher.

In this second set of notes, seven more unique concepts are attacked and many more effects are shared. The focus here is on unique gimmicks and utility items as well as effects with these tools.

There are two gimmicked decks taught, a prediction utility item that can be applied to almost anything, an amazing forcing concept based on an old magic effect turned on it's head, a shuffle-ready deck stacking system, two envelope based prediction systems that are both very easy to do and...

If telepathy was real, what would it look like?

It's often said that twins possess the uncanny ability to know what the other is thinking, feel what they are feeling. A couple in love often finish each other's sentences. You know when a close friend you haven't heard from in years is on the other end of the phone before you lift the reciever.

Is this kind of unexplainable thought reading capability possible to simulate?

• The Touch is a brand new technique of coding between two performers or a performer and an accomplice.
• This technique could be employed outside of the given routine...

A collection of thoughts.

Belief is the new ebook on mentalism by Dee Christopher. In this ebook, not only will you find some versatile techniques and a devestating full close up mind reading act, you will also find several essays on creating the most powerful demonstrations possible and making the demonstrations that you already do ten times more powerful.

The ebook also contains the full explanation of 2009's The Isolation Experiment video. A demonstration Dee devised using a readily available but under used prop to create the illusion of bending a fork while it's completely isolated....

"Dee is not only giving you an effect here. He is giving you a full routine that packs so small but plays so big, hits hard and leaves them with no where to go. An astouding little routine which lets you seem like a true time lord." - Alan Rorrison

You hand a small box to an audience member at the start of your show. You have never met them before and they need not even leave their seat. You just tell them that the box will prove important later on.

As your show is coming to a close, you call out for your box holding spectator and ask them to join you on stage. You ask your spectator what the...

Blinded: A propless...

Four years have passed since I released the original Pieces at 3am. The book that came to be one of Dee's best selling collections and the single publication that spawned most variations by other artists of his original thoughts and ideas.

Dee has had the thought of doing a second volume for years, but he has never had the correct collection of effects and concepts that he felt could adhere to the original thought. All of the effects in the original book were ideas that came to him as he woke in a cold sweat at night. They were pieces that entered his conscious mind after dark, usually at around 3 am. ...

‎"A captivating study on deceptive theories scarcely analysed. A compelling read for those in the allied arts and the curious alike." - Daniel Madison

Dee Christopher exposes the trickery, deception and fraud undertaken by the world's leading psychics, psychokinetics and mediums. Unlike other studies of this nature in the parapsychological world, the author's background lies in the art of conjuring, sleight of hand and mentalism. You will learn how to replicate these demonstrations.

Christopher divulges the secrets held close by these figures who have conned the world into believing their skills...

Over the last decade Dee has released many techniques and routines for magicians and mentalists world wide. This is a compilation of all his early work.

"This is crazy! I know Dee Christopher's Material, which is not only enjoyable and original but also practical, and for that price is like having your own petrol station the size of your wallet" - Nefesch (Creator of countless mentalism and magic effects)

With Origin, Dee has compiled the vast majority of...

From the introduction by Dee...

"Dee Christopher has taken the Brainwave effect to new heights with his new effect. I looked for the R/S... There was nothing. He fooled the hell out of me." - Alan Rorrison

InsaneWave is Dee Christopher's evolution of the BrainWave effect. The classic effect is that a named card is the only card in the deck with a different coloured or contrasting back design.

Dee wanted to take the effect further. Dee loved the image of spreading a deck and having multiple cards with different backs. He began work on forging a solution with several thoughts in mind.

• He wanted this deck to be normal, so...

In September 2012, Dee Christopher lectured for over 300 magicians at the LADs convention in the UK. He taught several of his signature effects, alongside material that the magic world had never seen before.

The unpublished material, including his chair test and the the "Kill Scene" effect from his working stage repertoire created much buzz at the event and since.

This package contains a no frills video version of Dee's full hour long lecture, alongside a 40 page PDF with easy to read step by step instructions for each effect taught.

The effects and routines taught are as follows: ...

This publication is slightly different to a lot of his previous work in that rather than creating new methods for effects, he's honed in on the psychological side of things and is offering some of his favorite techniques to bring effects that you already perform to the next level.

Deadly Subtleties is a collection of subtleties that you can apply to your work to create:

• Better accuracy during mind reading
• Fairer conditions when revealing peeked information
• More realistic blindfold demonstrations
• More believability in psychokinetic demonstrations

In 413 Dee discusses four brand new effects that he has not tipped in any other publication. Four working demonstrations of amazing mental power.

Schrödinger's Deck

A presentation and method for the light and heavy deck that will prove your powers of mind over matter. A spectator will easily lift a deck of your hand, then will be unable to do so. Easy to do and completely examinable. You are left with a normal deck of cards and box to move onto another effect. This could be done with a tarot deck if you are against playing cards in your work.

The Devil's Key

The Devil's Key is a...

Plastic allows you to perform the classic feat of psychometry in the close up arena with an up to date presentation and a hook that will resonate with every person you meet. The effect plays exactly as follows:

You walk up to a table and place down an unopened packet of pay envelopes. After introducing yourself and meeting the characters that make up your audience for the next 7-10 minutes, you explain that you will turn away and each spectator on the table (or any two or three if you prefer) is to take any of the envelopes and place one of their credit cards inside.

They may then seal...

Linguistic Bending will take your metal bending to the next level.

Dee Christopher has been studying metal bending for many years and crafted his own fluid and signature style. This ambitious treatise attacks a subject that is scarcely touched by psychokinetic performers; the use of verbal deception, dual reality and linguistics within metal bending acts.

You will learn several new techniques, the full work on the Syn ploy including variations and some incredible concepts and ploys to build into your performances.

"Dee shared with me this concept and I must say that is really something smart and revolutionary. Being able to spark your own creativity and let the book fit your persona as performer and not in reverse. I did this years ago with my own book tests (in Spanish) but in here Dee is giving you all that work and much more. I recommend without a doubt this great release." - Pablo Amira (Mentalism Author)

"You should be charging WAY more for this!!" - Alan Rorrison (Consultant for Dynamo & Troy TV shows)

As mentalists, we constantly hunt for new ways to gather the secret thoughts of our audiences. We force the people we meet to think in particular ways, or find deceptive techniques to find out thoughts when we give them free reign on what to create in their minds. This manuscript deals with a solution for the latter concept.
