Magic & Conjuring: page 125

This isn't your grandpa's magic square!

Dr. Bill originally released Subliminal Square as an alternative to the traditional instant magic square plot. Instead of the mentalist rapidly completing the square with a number provided by an audience member, using a Subliminal Square he rapidly implants a number into the subconscious mind of an audience member!

This innovation in mentalism was first seen in Banachek's Psychological Subtleties 2 and received wide critical acclaim and near instant classic status. It quickly became a staple in the repertoires of many working pros.

Subliminal...

The Fource takes well-established psychological methods that all mentalists know and stretches them in completely new directions and dimensions. Remember what Dr. Bill did with Miraskill?

He took a seventy-year-old idea and turned it on its head, breathing new life into a classic of mentalism and resulting in the highly acclaimed Mirabill.

Or how about what Dr. Bill did with the venerable Instant Magic Square? His inspired thinking morphed it into Subliminal Square, a completely original and new presentation published in Banachek's award winning Psychological Subtleties 2. Well, he's done it again.

The Fource...

Now, one of the mentalism's greatest "self-working" effects has been simplified to the point where it really is self-working! One early reviewer referred to Mirabill as "Miraskill minus the skill."

Suggestabilities is a collection of three essays, each followed by an effect illustrating the principles explained.

Ericksonian Extracts is the first piece Dr. Bill Cushman ever published. It describes the impact of Milton Erickson on his own practices as a mentalist.

Alphabody Language puts these Ericksonian principles to work in a new way that allows the audience to reveal a chosen word! A versatile technique, the word can be from a standard booktest or learned by any clandestine method you prefer. No dual reality, no instant stooging, just good old-fashioned mentalism.

"I finally had a chance to read Bill’s wonderful book on pendulums. Without a doubt, this is the best book ever written on the subject. I recommend it without reservation to anyone who is serious about this type of work." - Bob Cassidy

Twelve wonderful card routines and one non-card memory feat bonus effect: Mental Shopper.

Almost all the sleights employed herein are basic, therefore easy to do. The exception is the Faro shuffle, which is used in two effects. There is little mention of patter included, as the effects do not require set patter. It is left to the reader to use patter that fits his particular personality.

Some of these effects have previously appeared in Apocalypse, The Linking Ring, and The Minotaur. The balance are appearing here for the first time. Doug's two personal favorites are: Midnight Speller, and The Cardician...

From the preface: This little ebook is not jazzy or slick in any way. It is, in fact, a small step up from the scribble in my notebook. However, within its pages one may find reputation makers and religion starters.

This book is not full of amazing new methods. The routines within utilize methods that you (probably) already know. What you are about to read is an application of these methods that will take your audiences to a whole new level.

You should know, before delving in, that my professional/scholastic training is born out of the theatre. I am very theatrical and this is why my audiences...

Broken
This is the launching point of the journey. Don fuses the essence of powerful theatre with mystery entertainment to open your eyes and ears to a new way to approach your performances.

"Most mentalists know Don Theo knocked it out of the ballpark with his introductory book Teardrop. However, Theo's 'Broken' makes his first treatise now seem like a bunt. 'Broken' is a beautiful, artistic work that forces the actor in each mentalist to rise to the surface and make some very necessary waves within our art." - Mick Ayres
