Paz is from the creative minds of Adrien Lochon and Fraser and is an ingenious way of divining the star sign of a spectator you have only just met.

They simply tell you which areas of their life they would like you to focus on during their reading; Involving Past, Present and Future aspects of their life, specifically. You are always able to not only give an accurate reading of the spectator but always end your demonstration with a perfectly clean divination of their exact star sign.

No letters or characteristics are named and nothing is written down or physically selected. This relies...

Ploy is a way to indirectly obtain a piece of information your spectator is only thinking of without them ever having to say it out loud or write anything down.

You perform a thought of card effect where a card is taken out of a deck of normal playing cards, you either guess it exactly or get very close and are then able to automatically and effortlessly divine other information your spectator is merely thinking of, such as, which colour they are focusing on or their star sign, etc.

No this is not the usual ploy of writing on the faces of the playing cards to force a thought but is actually...

"Zitta has done it again. He has completed a new work that is outstanding, practical, and mostly Impromptu. I don't know how he does it, ideas, brilliant ones, flow like water. Get this. And if you don't have them, get all his work. They bring me and the audience wonderment, joy, and workable thoughts. 5 out of 5" - Marc Salem

This is a series of methods for taking a spectator-shuffled deck and sorting it into piles of red and black - while blindfolded.

And one of the methods (as shown in the demo) gives you the ability to identify the suit and value of each card of a borrowed, shuffled deck, requiring no memorization.

There are six methods in total, three of which use "special" decks (can still be used for your other card magic), and the other two use borrowed decks. All of them can be done blindfolded.

This ebook teaches the illusion of hypnosis; you don't need to be a hypnotist to perform these mind blowing effects.

Hypnosis is one of the purest and real forms of mentalism; in essence you are apparently a true master of mind control, with the ability to make anyone do anything you wish. With great power comes great responsibility. From mentalism effects with a hypnosis flavour, to self working hypnosis-esque miracles, it's all in here. If you have followed the rest of the monthly course volumes, you'll know that each month is packed with effects, routines, principles and ideas from a range...

The master of Propless Mentalism, Peter Turner now offers a full series in this topic.

The definition of Propless Mentalism is, at best, arguable (this is discussed in length inside this volume). The definition that Peter has stuck closely to is: the participant never writes anything down, and the only time the mentalist writes anything is to reveal information.

Peter has tried to make the material as sure-fire as possible (not chancy or bold), whilst keeping the process as small as possible - no long-winded, drawn-out presentations. If the presentation isn't as quick as (if not faster...

Throughout the duration of this volume Peter pays tribute to the giants that have come before us.

Too many times the classics are dismissed as outdated or no longer relevant because of the props utilised in those texts.

In this volume Peter examines routines by Orville Meyer, Martin Gardner, Theodore Annemann, Bev Bergeron, Bob Cassidy, Michael Mence, Corinda and Richard Osterlind to open the readers eyes to just how relevant a lot of the classics are today whilst adding a twist and update to those ideas and routines.

Audiences rate magicians based on their entertainment experience. One can have the best of everything: magic, manipulation, etc. and still fail in front of an audience. This material is not new. It has been taught in the theater industry and at schools for a very long time. However, there are not that many materials written to bring these skills into the hands of a magician.

This ebook will identify key elements that the magician must follow, and be aware of as he/she performs. Suggested materials might seem unimportant or a waist of time. But those same elements could be the factors that...

Two devious peek devices for mentalists.

Every mentalist needs an arsenal of peek methods, be that a device, or a folding peek. The Peeks of Chaos contains two peek devices, each using the card box: the "Mockra Peek", and the "Meanas Peek". Each method is very deceptive, and the peek happens at a natural moment, with no funny movements.

As magicians we are hired to entertain. The show must go on is a harsh truth that we all accept responsibility for. The fact is performances do not always take place without problems. If you have ever found yourself standing in the lights, with a failed trick you know what I am talking about. The audience knows the magic was a complete flop. There is no one else on stage with you. When that happens, we all promise we will never put ourselves in that situation again.

Your magic may be "performance ready" but is it also "audience ready"? This text talks about conditioning for the unexpected....
