Magic & Mentalism: page 107

Imagine a full two hour Q & A show for the stage or parlour that involves no sleights, no gaffs, and no gimmicks. A two hour show that will be perceived by your audience as the real thing as opposed to a "magic trick"! This is Pure Q & A - questions are answered, futures are divined, telepathy is demonstrated, and the audience are enthralled.

This is a manuscript that has been born out of true life performance - all ideas and scripts included are lifted directly from Paul's stage and parlour show. This is real world mentalism at its very best. Although the Pure Q & A show is designed for...

An Out Of This World variation, streamlined and ready for performing situations without a table.

BASIC EFFECT:

The performer talks about intuition, chance and that little feeling we get when we know something is right, or wrong. A deck of cards is introduced and legitimately shuffled. Half the deck is put away to streamline the demonstration. The other half is then handed to the spectator and the performer offers his/her outstretched palms as a surface to deal on to. The spectator deals the cards into two piles about equal amounts of cards in each, but in no specific order. Once all the...

This is the third in a series of download DVDs dedicated to tricks and routines using ESP cards. This volume 3 features routines by Howard Adams.

Cidentaquin is one of my favorite ESP routines. In volume 4 you will find a variation that adds yet another climax. Also, remember that you do not have to use ESP cards for these effects. You could use sets of identical business cards (even possibly impromptu after a business meeting where most people have a stack of business cards with them). Or perhaps use postcards - sets of five cards from well-known cities such as Paris, New York, Sidney, Moscow, Rio -...

This ebook explains in detail the true, tried and tested card control methods (basic moves & gaffs) that professional magicians use in real performance situations --- "the real stuff, not the fluff".

While performing for the big money and a regular audience, professionals don’t leave much to chance. The working conditions, whether it’s an inside or outside environment, may cause sweaty hands (too hot & humid), stiff fingers (too cold) or dry hands (overly warm). These conditions are anticipated by simplifying a routine for real-world applications / preventions, such as the use of gaff...

There is no better demonstration of applied psychology than the Jam Auction, and Jack Nyberg is the recognized king of that money-making business. This is the ONLY video of Jack’s two-hour pitch from start to finish. Jack starts by building a tip and then, over time, has about 25 people standing in his tent for two hours waiting and wanting to give him money. Filmed on location with a hand-held camera this is unlike anything you’ve ever seen when it comes to crowd control, creating customers, and getting them to buy.

This DVD has actual footage of Don working this on Hollywood Boulevard as well as the bally being done by street performer Zachery Strange.

The Comprehensive Guide to Making Money Pitching Svengali Decks

Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been made on selling the humble Svengali Deck and yet few people ever learned the inner secrets of how to pitch the deck successfully. This DVD fills that shortage.

Don Driver pitched for twenty-five years all over the country. He learned his pitch from S. David Walker, the Grand old Man of Svengali pitching who has been at it since the early 1940s. Mr. Walker learned from Mickey MacDougall, the creator of the Svengali pitch.

Explained in detail is a pitch that has been polished and...

Rachel and Aldo used to go on big lecture tours frequently. In 2011 they gave their final 'Farewell Tour'. With farewell they only mean farewell to big lecture tours, not farewell to magic. Rachel and Aldo will continue to be very active in magic, produce new DVDs and I am sure we will still see them now and then at conventions and other magic happenings. If you have not been able to see their farewell lecture then here is your chance to acquire a very special ebook.
