The "tell-all" book that reveals the innermost secrets of "office" and seance mediums!

These are the very methods used by fraudulent spirit mediums to bilk the innocent public.

You'll learn the secrets of "Blood writing" (as sold by The Nelson Enterprises), ghostly apparitions, spirit slate writing, seance exhibitions, ballot tests, and many, many other pseudo-mediumistic stunts.

In this eBook, Bob Nelson reveals his Mystery of the Gyrating Tables presentation, complete with opening lecture.

This effect certainly belongs in the realm of the psychic. Present it as an example of spirit phenomena, inject a little showmanship, and, as Nelson says, you'll "skyrocket to fame."

Using ordinary, unprepared tables and no apparatus whatsoever, the tables will tip, teeter, wobble and gyrate around the room or stage in the craziest fashion. And this despite the medium not even seated at the table with the participants! No stooges or confederates are employed at any time. ...

One of the very few magic acts designed for a woman, but this one is a honey. Based on the Charles Adams cartoons, the character of Vampira is indicated by the sketch. The magic she does is quite simple and mostly standard, but the presentation is wild and horrendous, and what you'd expect from a Vampire. Once the material is assimilated, the tricks could be changed to suit the individual. All patter and presentation is given, plus the details of the wonderful costume and make up, also music, lighting, etc. With a little work, the idea can be transferred to a male character. Great for Halloween,...

"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...

The best method for spirt writing ever conceived! Using two ungimmicked slates, the performer very cleanly and slowly shows all four sides by marking the numbers from 1 to 4 on each side, in the upper corner, in a different color. (An original Devin Knight idea.) There is no doubt that all four sides have been shown to be blank due to different colored numbers marked on each side of the slates.

The performer put the two slates together and has a spectator hold two corners, while he holds the other two corners. The sound of chalk writing is heard to come from between the slates. When the slates...
