The title of Dale A. Hildebrandt's latest manuscript is Foam Kangaroo Abs. The ebook started out as a very comprehensive, thorough, detailed, and examined-from-all angles treatise on all things related to anagrams within the magic and mentalism world. Not only are progressive anagrams discussed, but there are also details on branching anagrams, non-verbal branching anagrams, the puzzler's anagrams wherein words are re-arranged as games or clues, visual anagrams, and other topics either tangentially or specifically related to anagrams in the mystery arts.
Many others either confuse branching...
Rock Paper Scissors Time Full Routine is a seven-phase routine intended for audiences consisting of at least 30 people. This routine is presented as mentalism and is best suited for adults. The first three phases are kinds of Macro Effects which lead into the next four phases which are best perceived as kinds of Micro Effects.
The first three phases utilize true strategies used by professional Rock Paper Scissors Players (yes, there really IS such a thing!). These Phases are best used with a group of at least 30 people in order for the effects to be successful and to advance the routine to...
Psychic Self is a three-phase card routine wherein you NEVER touch the deck. The deck is borrowed and shuffled multiple times. Yet, the routine is entirely self-working and will work the majority of the time. No risk; no reward. Yes, there is a chance of one of the phases not working; and even lower chance that none of the routine will work. There is a simple scripting for why one or all the phases did not work. The majority of time, you will have a three-phase miracle routine.
The scripting of the routine is what really sells each individual effect. The methods are essentially the effect...

A Quiet Corner was originally published in Nathan Spark’s ebook Tattoo and reprinted in Heavily Haunted: Second Edition. Here is what Don Theo III had to say about A Quiet Corner:
"Subtitled "Various Tips, Techniques, Pieces and Parts." Prepare yourself before diving into this entry. This is a walk on the wild side, led by the delicious madness that is Dale Hildebrandt. Dale goes really deep with this, and it's obvious he really put forth a lot of time and effort. Since first reading his work, I have always wanted to attend a lecture by Dale just for the pure experience. This is about as close as it gets without having him right...

In Triceratops, there are three sections, which each have three chapters, and each chapter has three tricks.

This is for the performer who can take a piece of cloth and make it into a cloak of mystery.
This material is not for the weak of heart. Only read on if you want to dare something worthy. The following are the effects you will find in Triceratops:

Hello, my name is Dale A. Hildebrandt and I'm addicted to weird magic. I like to invent magic that is absurd, strange, and surreal. There's nothing better than creating an effect or routine that makes people stop and think. Then there's the effect that astonishes them into silence. And we can't forget about the effects which make them wonder just how pliable the world is in the hands of those who can ply. Paul...
