Mentalism & Spiritism in Magic & Conjuring: page 39

The title of this ebook says it all really. It's 'mostly mental' and as such focuses on the performance of psychological illusion. It's not an ebook full of tricks and new methods, but a series of reflections and thoughts which include sections on NLP, Hypnosis, Linguistic Ambiguity, Performance Analysis, RAW Mentalism (Random Acts of Wonder) and so on. Of course there are some effects within the two-hundred or so pages and they are all drawn from Alan's working repertoire.

"I see your work as an asset to many sincere performers. Your approach is not for the mildly curious, nor should it...

You can almost proplessly divine the exact date of birth of an utter stranger in under a minute. This routine works best in a one-on-one situation where the performer has met the participant for the very first time. And you can also, if you want, instantly repeat it for different people in the same group of audience. This impromptu routine is a lot of fun to do.

You do not need to have MPAC to learn and perform this one.

With this routine you prove to the participant that based on a few general characteristics related to her you are able to divine her exact birthday. This is the opposite...

This is an impromptu and propless mentalism routine which is a lot of fun to do. It works best in a one-on-one situation where you are performing to a new acquaintance whom you have met for the very first time.

With this routine you prove to the participant that her mobile number and her birth year (both of which you have no way of knowing since you met the participant for the very first time just then) are somehow associated in a mysterious way. The participant will be utterly amazed with this unexpected revelation.

There are multiple payoffs in this routine. A new acquaintance gets...

Mpeep is short for Mind Peep. It is also an acronym for all the routine names in this manuscript. Based on an innovative combination of classic methods, this novel principle enables you to quickly and deceptively plant a word and then divine it from a participant's mind. 5 routines and a bonus routine are explained. In fact, based on the method, you can create several routines yourself to suit your performance situation or customize for a particular audience or participant. You can perform this completely propless, in a virtual show, or use a couple of your business cards and perform in close-up,...

Main Effect - A participant merely thinks of anyone from among 4 or 6 famous personalities. This is a completely free choice and there is absolutely no force. Then the performer divines the participant's thoughts and writes it down on a business card and hands it over to the participant to hold. When the participant reveals her chosen person, it matches with what...

A collection of two horrific and murderous routines, ideal for a wind-swept night of parlour entertainment.

Psychic Cluedo (Psychic Clue).

Become a psychic detective. Utilising a well-known board game, the mystery entertainer takes his guests on a journey of psychic discovery. A murder has been committed. One of your guests knows who it is, where the murder took place, and the weapon that was used to commit the foul act. Can any of your guests work it out using their own as yet untapped psychic powers? While your guests discuss notes, you enter a trance like state and emerge from the psychic...

The following effect by Jack Yates was originally published in 1980, by Supreme Magic under the title of "Accusation." The original version is still available from Magic Inc. Dave Arch has simplified the handling, strengthened the mnemonic aids, and consequently dispensed with an additional key card originally needed to guide the mentalist.

EFFECT: After asking the group how many have ever attended a Mystery Party, the mentalist suggests, "For anyone who has never been to one, let's have one right here! You know how it is. When people come to the party,...

This ebook will teach you several mentalism effects, all of them related with music. Here is Nefesch in his own words:

Let me tell you a REAL story:

I received a call from a producer who asked me to meet him for an interview to discuss the chance of me being the OPENER for some MUSIC concert tours that would take place in Greece. So I went to the appointment he had several questions, he asked me to perform which I did, and he was truly impressed, after that he told me: "ok, I want you, but the last word on whether or not we will hire you is on the singers hands". So he gave me another...

The title of this eBook hides its inspiration ... The effect is totally impromptu, self-working, quick and easy to perform (only eight cards are used), does not require any kind of card magic technique, and introduces the spectator to the possibility of secretly choosing whether to lie or tell the truth in response to the few questions that the mentalist will ask him during the experiment. In spite of all this, a merely thought-out card will be punctually found at the end of the experiment.

Noting the possible whispering in the room (especially if there are fellow magicians present, I say...

This eBook contains the evolution of the effect previously covered in Volume I, but its understanding and execution does not require reading the previous one, although it is highly recommended.

The effect is totally impromptu, semi-automatic, quick to perform (only eight cards are used), does not require any complex card magic technique, and introduces for the spectator the possibility of secretly associating "Yes" and "No" with a single or double clap of the hands, in response to the few questions that the mentalist will ask during the experiment so that he cannot apparently know what the viewer...

A mind reading card effect which takes place in the hands of the spectator.

The performer, with back turned, asks a spectator to make a choice between four identical face down decks in a row. When the selection is made he/she is told to pick up the chosen deck under which is one of the performer's business cards. Before examining the business card the spectator is asked to shuffle the deck and place it back on the table. This done, the spectator is asked to look at what is on the back of the business card and then place it in a pocket or somewhere else out of site. Lastly the spectator is...

A full 30 minute act that you can carry in your pocket and perform in almost any standup situation, My Q & A the ultimate mentalism routine.

"It doesn't matter how you obtain the information, it is how you answer the questions that is important."

The statement above is one I have read again and again in published works on the Q & A from some of the best in the business.

I am afraid however that after nearly twenty years studying the systems of others and working on my own Q & A methods and routines, I have to disagree. To me as a full time mentalist and psychic entertainer, how...

Peter Warlock, one of the most brilliant and inventive minds in the world of mentalism, contributes some excellent effects that you can do.

Memories of Jardine Ellis, Devant and other famous names are included but above all this recording will be remembered for the clear and easy-to-understand way in which Peter Warlock describes a number of outstanding mental mysteries.

[This recording was made on a very cold evening and from time to time the sound of the central heating system can be heard.]

This is a licensed reproduction of the famous Magicassette series created by Martin Breese - now owned by Lybrary.com....

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. ...

Imagine being able to tell someone the direction of their house when you are both stood in the middle of nowhere that you have both never been to before.

Imagine being able to get from one location to another via walking or driving without the use of maps, GPS, or compasses because you just "know where to go".

Imagine being driven to a city you have never been to before. You get out of the car and are blindfolded and taken to a new location within the city. Upon removing the blindfold you can then instantly begin walking in the direction of the car and eventually return back to it without...
