Scripted #42: Mentalism Fail-SafeLarry Brodahl
This product is included in Scripted #41: A Taste for Words.
In the event that a mentalism effect fails, this is a script, process, and handing that allows you to fairly easily switch tricks mid-stream, unnoticed by the audience, and still present a strong trick.
This was originally designed if [lp= Scripted #41: A Taste for Words] routine failed, but the technique can work for many mentalism routines.
Three different handlings, 2 scripts, and 1 core concept protects the mentalist from complete failure in many routines.

Scripted #40: Bigger and BetterLarry Brodahl A more magical version of the trick "Bigger" found in the Mark Wilson Course in Magic

A different deck is shuffled and dropped into the paper bag, and the spectator shakes the bag to shuffle the cards. Reaching into the bag, and without looking, 2 of the matching cards are found. The third card – the bigger card - is found because it is a jumbo card.
A little arts and crafts are required.

Scripted #38: QVC DetectiveLarry Brodahl A very visual version of the "detective" theme that is perfect for stage, parlor, and closeup. Adding another card allows this to become a sandwich effect. The deck can be borrowed, shuffled, and card signed.
A Jack of Spades is removed from a borrowed deck. Someone selects a card and the card is very visibly returned to the center of the deck. The card may be signed, and the deck may be shuffled. The Jack is then placed face up on the deck, the magician passes his hand over the card, and it vanishes. But it fails to return to the top of the deck. The deck is then spread and the Jack is found... | $10 to wish listPDF & MP4 |

Scripted #36: Save Me MagiLarry Brodahl
If you do any type of an "instant-stooge" trick using cards (for example Karrel Fox's "Gift of the Magi"), you know there's a chance that the volunteer will name the wrong card. This is an "out" for that situation. There are no real gimmicks, no difficult handling, and it almost instantly resets. The out is a non-R/S version of the Brainwave Deck based on an idea by Martin Peirce.
NOTE: This can be used as a standalone effect also.

Scripted #35: Picto TranspoLarry Brodahl
The trick PictoTranspo by Gene Anderson is a wonderful reframing of a Roy Johnson trick. In the trick, two large pictures - one drawn by the volunteer - swap places, even though the pictures are marked on the back with the volunteer's and magician's names.
A logical and funny script is included that covers why the trick is being done, and even allows you to pick any volunteer.
Note: This trick is not fully explained. You must own the trick to be able to perform it.

A classic of magic we all learned early on and never do, as it's not a very good trick. Until now. The trick has been transformed into a very cute and clever brain teaser with nothing more than a little modified handling and some clever scripting.

Scripted #33: Ring and RopeLarry Brodahl A multi-phase ring and rope routine using only a regular rope and ring.
Most ring and rope routines don't really look like magic. They look like the rope is looped and threaded and re-threaded, and otherwise fiddled with to account for the "magic". Not this routine. Simple. Easy to perform.
Almost surrounded. No gimmicks, no gaffs. Everything's examinable, and nothing is added or taken away.
A rope - and a ring. And a killer script.
The author of How To Write A Script reveals his 'Ring and Rope' routine, which he has used to close his act, and is nothing but visual, clean magic. This ebook gives you every... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish listPDF & MP4 |

Scripted #28: Lassoing a CardLarry Brodahl How to lasso a chosen card. Complete methodology as well as script and performance video included. Full performance rights allowed.
It is a version that makes sense. The magician explains that as a child at summer vacation, he learned how to lasso mosquitoes, and he got so good at it, that he learned to actually snap the knot for the lasso onto the rope mid-air. And he thought he'd turn that skill into a trick.
The magician has a card selected. This card is returned to the deck and shuffled by the spectator. After some byplay, the magician drops the cards into a paper bag, puts one end... | $12 to wish listPDF & MP4 |
