Magic & Conjuring: page 236

You don’t have to be a real hypnotist to do this effect! Any magician or mentalist can apparently hypnotize anyone 100% of the time, even hardened skeptics. The famous stage magician, John Calvert, used this effect regularly in his big touring magic show.

I touched upon this effect briefly in my Annotated Secret Professional Pseudo-Hypnotic Methods; however, I did not go into the amount of detail contained within this release. This is the most detailed information about this effect ever released. This secret was released by Del-Ardo, Joseph Ovette and Nelson Enterprises. I have taken the best information from all these releases and made them...

Imagine being able to control coincidence. Where the time and location of two events determines the outcome of the events. This script and full instructions explains how.

Imagine being able to control coincidence. Where the time and location of two events determines the outcome of the events. Now you can!

The magician removes a BLUE backed card from his pocket as he talks about coincidence, and how coincidence is decided by two factors: physical proximity and time. He has someone sit on the card. He then removes a RED backed deck from his pocket, and spreads the cards out front and back...

In ten seconds, you will be able to guess any information thought among two possibilities. It can be any effect where there are two outcomes.

• Improvised
• Very versatile principle
• Can be used in existing routines where you need to know for instance if a thought card is RED or BLACK, if a spectator likes something or not, etc.

• The nice thing about this principle, is that it is 100% impromptu, and even improvised.
• 100% Hands off
• No stooges
• No gimmick or electronics
• Works with many objects that can be borrowed (pen, knife/spoon/fork, lighter, eraser, card box, pack of cigarettes,...

Tele-Thought is conceded to be the greatest of all pseudo psychic and mental tests. Present Tele-Thought as a prediction - a prophecy - as a genuine experiment in mental telepathy, or both!

Here is a brilliantly conceived psychic effect, impregnated with showmanship and a superb presentation to baffle and astound the keenest of minds.

Read most carefully the following superb effect: With a few well chosen remarks about mental telepathy and the ability of a 'chosen few' to pierce the wall of the future, the mentalist asks any spectator to select any page from any group of newspapers. The...

"This is well written and well explained. It opens the door to tangible miracles that the common magician knows little about." - Ron Levy

You have seen people such as David Blaine and Criss Angel do these feats on television. You may have even seen people on America’s Got Talent gross out the judges so bad, that some couldn’t even watch. You may have even seen Devin Knight do these feats at festivals and...

Thought Control is a technique that will appear to give you the power to read or influence a person's thoughts. You can use this concept to guess or influence a person's free choice of names, colors, fruits, animals, dates, shapes, playing cards, actions, literally anything!

The main effect is that we whisper a specific thought to one subject, and a second subject is able to repeatedly divine these thoughts. The subject will confirm each and every thought that we whisper.

This is a surefire, propless method to read or influence a person's mind, with no visual compromises. It isn't a process...

8 excuses to hand out business cards

Accurate - Based on Andrew Gerrad's Accuracy, it's different but impromptu. 3 objects are hidden one in each hand and one in a card box. And the performer deduces the location of each of those objects.

B4 Esperience - This is how Esperience used to look like before what it is now.

This is an important improvement of the classic Kruskal principle. Think about this: The spectator can shuffle the deck and you still know exactly where the count will end!

This ebook contains a new principle on Kruskal-counting and illustrates the principle with two effects. The first effect A Bumblebee’s Flight will lead the spectator’s dealing sequence invariably to a known/predicted card, even after a shuffle by the spectator. A version for cards taken out of a sealed box and shuffled twice by spectators is also provided. Performance and explanation videos by Tomas Blomberg are linked...

A new principle "Proactive Anagram" is explained in this ebook. The power of this method is that it can be used to reduce a range of about 30 choices to just 5 choices in a single step. Normally, creating a progressive or branching anagram for about 30 or more words and performing it would be quite complex and cumbersome. That lengthy process would seem tedious to both the performer and the audience members.

But using this Proactive Anagram principle, a set of 30, 40 or even 50 different words can be reduced into a very short list of 5 or 6 words in a single step. This very interesting and...
