Poor Man's EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon)Dave ArchFinally a cost-effective method for establishing ambiance in the candlelit seance room by recording the proceedings and having them unexpectedly interrupted by a series of unintelligible guttural sounds. Finally a routine that doesn't break the flow of the seance routine while the medium and the sitters make sense of the fully customizable sounds. Based on an idea from Bob Cassidy, this video tutorial finally visually demonstrates step-by-step how to leverage the power of a free user-friendly laptop app (Windows/Mac Os/Unix) to achieve the above and more. 1st edition 2018, length 11 min 39... | $10 to wish listMP4 (video) | |
Interactive Matrix FormulaDave ArchNo doubt you've seen this formula applied to magic tricks on television specials or internet websites where you've been encouraged to put your finger on any card showing on the screen. Then as you follow the magician's series of instructions - moving your finger from card to adjacent card (with a sense of free choice), the magician begins to inexplicably remove cards on which your finger isn't resting until only one clearly predetermined card remains. Although the formula has been used for decades as the basis for creating variously themed magic tricks (from comedy to the bizarre), the sharing... | ★★★★★ $7 to wish listPDF & MP4 | |
Scientific Cold Reading 1Dave ArchAs an executive coach in Nebraska's largest privately held company, my day is spent in back-to-back one-on-one sessions with managers.

This first in a series of scientific cold reading documents and videos explains the scientifically accepted and proven model I've used for decades to accelerate the process of getting to know someone and grow... | ★★★★★ $15 to wish listPDF & MP4 | |
Scientific Cold Reading IntroDave ArchWhy would anyone purchase another eBook or watch another video on the subject of cold reading? What could possibly be new that hasn't already been said? I too would be skeptical. After you've read Webster, Dewey, Scryer and others, what else could there be? Drawing on my ten years as a Pastor and fourteen years as an Executive Coach (and zero years as a psychic), please, if you're at all curious, take a few moments and watch as I share my perspective on cold reading, how that perspective evolved, and then a quick overview of the model I'm recommending in my series of five eBooks soon to be released... | ★★★★★ $0 to wish listMP4 (video) | |
Scientific Cold Reading 2Dave ArchSecond only to the model of personality traits Dave shared in his previous release of Scientific Cold Reading 1, this video and its companion pdf document explains the proven concept that most consistently receives responses from his coaching clients of "You just described the relationship between my spouse and me!" or "How did you know that's how I relate to my children?". Imagining yourself in the role of a sitter coming to Dave for counsel, first watch the seven-minute video where Dave presents to you as though you were sitting in the room with him - drawing on the screen what he's seeing in his mind about you... | $15 to wish listPDF & MP4 | |
The Oracle BoardDave ArchAs a cousin of the Ouija Board, this little known tool will randomly and mystically deliver one of five different messages to your spectator.

Let's Fake A DealDave ArchAs you might be able to tell from my other writings, I thoroughly enjoy collecting and creating generic methods that are customizable to a wide variety of themes and audiences. Let's Fake A Deal has proven itself on many occasions to fit that description. Although technically it's a minimal prep and 100% no-sleight method for the classic Bank Night premise, I've customized it through the prizes I give away (and don't give away) and by what I write on the outside of the large #10 business envelopes. I've had single words written on the envelopes, and I've had a phrase written on the envelopes... | $10 to wish list | |
Zingo BingoDave ArchWith thanks to Leo Behnke for the initial concept from his book Corporate Presentations and his permission to share it here, this has proven itself an energy producing closer for many of my corporate shows over the past twenty-five years. The magician proposes a fun game of Bingo to close his program, and Bingo cards are distributed to everyone in the audience. As the magician hosts the game - drawing and calling the numbers, audience members begin to cross out squares on their Bingo sheets with each person crossing out different squares from those around them. Due to the fact that there are sixteen completely different... | ★★★★★ $20 to wish list | |

This is not a gag but rather a proven system for pulling off a demonstration of just what's possible when you commit yourself to consistently work a proven plan. ... | ★★★★★ $5 to wish list | |
Pre-Printed EquivoqueDave ArchWould you use the proven and classic technique of equivoque (aka. magician's choice) more often if you could simply read your pre-printed script as an integral part of your performance, show the script to your participants, and ultimately give them a copy so they could even try it again later? With an official looking and intriguingly customizable 1940's Compatibility Quiz from the popular Life Magazine, all of the above works just as stated. By carrying the script on your smartphone, you'll be ready to perform this classic piece of mentalism with any six objects anytime and anywhere. Finally... | ★★★★★ $25 to wish listMP4 (video) | |
Turning the TarotDave ArchMaybe a friend of yours needs a bit of encouragement in their life. Maybe you'd like to give them that encouragement in a mystical/magical way. Consider this handling of the Tarot cards. Using eleven cards from the Major Arcana and the first name of someone who has been particularly encouraging to your friend during his/her formative years, s/he'll be amazed as s/he inexplicably one-by-one eliminates all but the Sun card - arguably the most positive card in the Tarot deck. 1st edition 2019, 2 pages. | ★★★★★ $7 to wish list | |

PsychomancyDavid BritlandTen wonderful mental magic effects by David Britland. Here is David in his own words: Although my first love is Card Magic I also have a great interest in the field of mentalism. I hope that I've been able to combine both interests in the ten items described in this book. They are all designed for close-up work and require little in the way of manual dexterity. You'll discover a variety of effects from the prediction of a spectator's choice as to whether he prefers Noughts or Crosses in Tic Tac Toe to the spectacle of multiple coincidences which take place in 'My Name Is Legion'. I hope that... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |
Consumer ControlDavid BritlandFive ESP cards are laid out on the table. Point to one and push it aside. Point to another and push it aside. Discard two more until just one is left. Do you think I could have predicted that card in advance? A duplicate set of ESP cards has been on view throughout. They are all face down except one. It's your card. Not only that, but it has a completely different colored back from the rest! Consumer Control is simple, easy and direct. No counts, moves or sleight of hand. A baffling demonstration of psychological persuasion. [Note: This ebook does not come with the specially prepared cards. One set of ESP cards is regular. The other set is prepared with rough and smooth but in a very special way. If you have a roughing spray or stick you will be able to make your own cards. You will need ESP cards with two different backs. You will also need two double backers that match the two different backs and two envelopes.] 1st edition 2001, 1st digital edition 2013, 9 pages.... | $6 to wish listPDF & EPUB | |

Some Uses for Smoke Machines in MentalismDavid de LéonA short and whimsical booklet that explores the uses of smoke machines in mentalism. Even if you never chose to use smoke in your performances, the examples will inspire you to think about ways in which your mentalism might look to your audience. You will read about ways in which smoke can be used as a visual metaphor, for gags, or to illustrate your "fauxcess" (a term that Derren Brown and Andy Nyman coined to denote the implied method that you want your audience to think you are using). Fun fact: Derren Brown read the ad text for this book (back when it was a small Xeroxed and hand-cut... | $3 to wish list | |
Coincidence and FateDavid Devlin
A shuffled ESP deck is placed on the table. A spectator rolls a pair of dice until satisfied. Using the total on the dice, the spectator deals down into the deck, and places the card at that number off to the side unseen. The deck is reassembled, and a second spectator repeats the process.

Word 4 WordDavid DevlinEFFECT: A deck of 52 cards is freely shown. Each card bears a single word. All 52 words are different. The mentalist mixes the cards and hands the deck to a spectator. The mentalist now turns his back to the spectator and puts his hands behind his back. The spectator now makes a random and free choice of one of the words. However, the word is placed sight unseen into the spectator’s pocket. So, even he has no idea which word he has chosen. The deck is returned to the mentalist’s hands. With his back still to the spectator, he instantly calls out a word. The spectator removes the card from... | $8 to wish list |
