A Multi-Phase Routine of Sensing with Your Fingertips With Multiple Typos and No Photographs!

What People are Saying:

"Cute!"—Craig Browning

"Dale Hildebrandt's Skin Type is one of "those" routines. By that, I mean it's the one and only routine you need to perform when you find the right moment to do so. This routine represents a sentient crescendo made up of several methods that...

The Haunting of Paul Voodini is a compilation of routines and set pieces, many of them taken directly from the “shut eye” paranormal community. These routines would sit well in any bizarre, mentalism, or séance theatre presentation and should be regarded as building blocks and foundations around which evenings of wonder and mystery may be built.

As with most of Voodini’s work, the vast majority of this work is ungimmicked and relies instead upon the correct creation of atmosphere, the subtle use of hypnotic wording, and the ability of the performer to engage the guests’ imaginations....

L'illusion du changement de costume est basée sur le fait que l'audience présume que l'artiste va se débarrasser d'un ensemble de vêtements pour en enfiler un autre en une fraction de seconde. L'artiste tient simplement un nouveau costume devant lui, et la seconde d'après, il en est vêtu. Vu comme cela, le Quick Change est pour beaucoup un rêve devenu réalité.

That is not to say that he isn't capable to execute some of the most difficult sleights - and you will get a taste of those in this ebook, too.

   PARAGON - card effects...

From the disturbed mind of Paul Voodini comes this latest ebook - Hypno-Mental Self-Working Card Tricks. Simple and classic self-working card tricks are taken and thoroughly shaken up in a way and manner that only Paul Voodini could conceive of.

While on a trip to Bermuda, séance host and mind-reader Paul Voodini is forced to while away the hours by entertaining his fellow travellers with his favourite self-working card tricks. However, as you can imagine, the card tricks soon become demonstrations of the untapped power of the mind. Spectators are placed into light trances which allows them...

From the introduction by Andy Nyman:

From the foreword by Basil Horwitz:

This ebook includes 20 amazing mentalism effects many of which are in the daily performing repertoires of many top mentalists.

All too often those in the world of magic who develop great reputations fall somewhere between two stools; gifted thinkers who tend to disappoint in performance, or charismatic performers who are a triumph of form over substance: impressive, but not always original. Rarely do you come across someone who embodies the elements of true creative artistry, combining together the application of sound thinking with an understated style of presentation which can totally convince...

Seven more incredible demonstrations of the paranormal that will entertain and perplex the most demanding audience.

When Martin Breese met Basil many, many years ago he saw him demonstrating his brilliant Poker Deal. He dealt cards to himself and to a spectator and then put a £50 note on the table and if Basil could beat the spectator he kept the money and if he lost he would lose £50. This is repeated over and over again with new hands being dealt and the spectator having more and more choice yet the magician never loses any of the money at all. The final part of the routine allows the...

The (e)book was created from the recordings on Basil Horwitz made by Martin Breese. The book received rave reviews from every magical magazine around the world and is now for the first time available as ebook.

The opening chapter by Basil Horwitz details a method of linking a show with charity and using it to make a big income for the charity and a big income for the performer. During Basil's lifetime he was also involved in investment and finance. He used to perform for charity and demonstrated mental miracles that stunned his audience. When each member of the audience left the show Basil ended up with the name, address...

This is an ACAAN effect using two decks.

The performer shows two decks closed within their boxes. A spectator selects one of them and puts it aside (This deck will be used later). The perfomer asks the spectator to remove the second deck from his box and to check if the deck is a regular deck. At this point the performer instructs the spectator to select a number and a playing card using a very clean procedure with this deck. The spectator for example chooses 31 and Ace of Spades. Now, without the performer touching the decks, the second spector removes the first deck from its box and counts...
