Le note della conferenza di Matteo Filippini dedicata al mentalismo bold, quello sfacciato, temerario ed anche un po’ ingenuamente incosciente. Caratteristiche che, forse più di qualsiasi altra cosa, lo contraddistinguono non solo da altre forme di spettacolo simili ma anche da quel ‘mentalismo’ che vuol esser perfetto a tutti i costi!

Per spiegare al meglio gli approcci ed i metodi bold, Matteo descrive con dovizia di particolari ben cinque effetti, semplici nei metodi ma assolutamente efficaci per il pubblico reale.

BOLD DRAWING DUPE

Una duplicazione del disegno dello spettatore...

Transform the classic close-up version of The Thieves and Sheep to an audience-pleasing platform melodrama utilizing those notorious bank robbers of years gone by Bonnie and Clyde. While the audience supplies the sound effects, you can be the narrator (the author's choice) or another member of the audience could read the story as a volunteer from the audience stands behind the table and acts out the story with two paper sacks and some coins (up to silver dollar size for visibility).

The colorful placemats setting on the table in front of your volunteer gives him/her additional prompts - supplementing...

Here is another ebook that gives you four amazing mental effects direct from Devin Knight's repertoire. These are effects not in any previous Devin Knight PDFs. These effects can be used close-up or on stage. Here is what you get:

CHALLENGE CARD TEST: A spectator selects a card sight unseen and initials the back of it. He returns it to the deck while the performer shuffles it. Neither the performer nor spectator sees the card. The deck is spread face up and the spectator slides one card out of the spread. It proves to be the card he signed on the back. Stunning!

A gradual transposition of three silver coins and three golden coins with an unexpected climax. Two routines.

Many methods have been devised for the classical effect wherein three coins pass invisibly through space to join three more. "Dubbelkross" and "Simulkross" are two further variations on the same theme; but, not only are the methods altered, the effects are, too. In fact, "Dubbelkross" represents the first attempt (as far as I know) at giving this transposition a definite climax. "Simulkross" does not pretend to give a startling climax, but is interesting because coins pass simultaneously...

Eine verblüffende, auf der Jastrow-Illusion beruhende Routine mit einem überraschenden Abschluss

Der Vorführende erzählt von einem Traum, in dem er an einem Wettfischen teilnahm und dabei den grössten Fisch fing.

Dies illustriert er mit einer Tafel, auf der der Fisch abgebildet ist. Unmittelbar vor der Preisverleihung tauchte plötzlich ein anderer Fischer auf, der einen genau gleich grossen Fisch gefangen hatte. Beide Fische waren 25 cm lang, was der Vorführende mittels eines Massstabes beweist.

Da der Vorführende unbedingt gewinnen wollte, streute er Salz über den Fisch seines Konkurrenten....
