Mentalism & Spiritism in Magic & Conjuring: page 18

A bit of sleight-of-hand that is usually used for playing cards is used here to effect a very simple and bold peek for business cards.

Experience the power of Lightning Peek. With this incredible magic trick, you'll be able to astound your audience with your psychic abilities. Simply have a spectator draw or think of something on a business card, then place it in the middle of a stack of business cards. You'll be able to accurately reveal the secret thought while the spectator holds the business card stack.

• Lightning fast
• Full card peek
• No gimmicks or DIY arts and crafts
• Business cards...

The presentation of a magic effect is linked to many aspects, from the personality of the performer to the type of audience, to the type of show to be staged. Mentalism is only a pretext, it lends itself better than other spells to the discussion, especially on the definition of the character, the construction of the story, on the revelation. What we will analyze is not only useful for those who want to be a mentalist, but it is a stimulus to the realization of any magical effect and to improve one's communication process, with anyone on any subject. It's a mini-course in communication/NLP...

Hardly anybody knows Gene Marvin today. During the 1970s and 80s, he was a successful mentalist billed as "The 21st Century Man". He was all over the magic press, performing left and right, TV bits, and corporate work. Then he dropped off the radar. This is the book he released during the 1970s.

Excerpt from the introduction:

Four years have passed since I released the original Pieces at 3am. The book that came to be one of Dee's best selling collections and the single publication that spawned most variations by other artists of his original thoughts and ideas.

Dee has had the thought of doing a second volume for years, but he has never had the correct collection of effects and concepts that he felt could adhere to the original thought. All of the effects in the original book were ideas that came to him as he woke in a cold sweat at night. They were pieces that entered his conscious mind after dark, usually at around 3 am. ...

"Dee Christopher offers here a unique text focusing solely on the area of deception that he has come to dominate in recent years. This tome is a perfect example of why." - Daniel Madison (Deceptions Expert)

"Great bit of original thinking mixed in with the prospect of burning things. Double win! Sadly, it always works...so it's terrible for pyromaniacs." - Paul Brook Mind Reader

A small collection of three effects. First one out is an invisible cuing system, that can be used for spectator as mind reader effects of all kinds. They see writing appear on a card and then vanish.

Second one, and definitely a favorite, a memorised book effect. Any person selects a page in a book, you proceed with memorising it, you close the book and put it aside. Ask someone to name a "line number", and someone else to name a "word number". You think. You write. And place your writing out of sight. Take the book again and show that the word at the designated position is, say for example,...

PK Taste X-Periment. Cause the thought of candy flavor to transfer from one persons mind into another's.

888-BER-GLAS. Still another take on the Dr. Zodiac any card at any number effect. Ideal for stand up or...

At a recent lecture at the Magic Castle where Stan sold all of his books and tapes, by far the best seller was this ebook. Everyone reads their horoscope in the paper or on the net. The interest in horoscopes, numerology and numbers has never been greater. In this ebook Stan tells you how to market this newfound skill the very first day you buy the ebook. Included are venues, the psych code and drawings of his fair booth set up. No other business in show biz offers so much return for so little investment.

5020 explores the thought of human lie detection.

With shows like "Lie to me" and "The Mentalist" in vogue at the moment, realistic demonstrations of similar abilities are also becoming ever more in demand. Here we have a direct, to the point three phase lie detection effect. You will appear to genuinely have this ability if you so wish.

The performer removes two cards from the deck; upon one’s face he writes “Truth” and the other “Lie.” These cards are to be used in an experiment of psychological lie detection.

The performer holds the cards face-down. The spectators are...

Imagine a full two hour Q & A show for the stage or parlour that involves no sleights, no gaffs, and no gimmicks. A two hour show that will be perceived by your audience as the real thing as opposed to a "magic trick"! This is Pure Q & A - questions are answered, futures are divined, telepathy is demonstrated, and the audience are enthralled.

This is a manuscript that has been born out of true life performance - all ideas and scripts included are lifted directly from Paul's stage and parlour show. This is real world mentalism at its very best. Although the Pure Q & A show is designed for...

"Well, I have to say this is one of the best and cleanest methods I have seen in a long time for gathering unknowable information. I WILL use this and will have a blast doing so. I must thank Nefesch for releasing this as it is absolutely impromptu, and gives me a tool to use when someone asks me to perform some mentalism on the spot. I am a magic creator who loves psychokinetic, fire, and obviously supernatural looking effects, and this will join the ranks of those illusions. The spectator will feel it is absolutely impossible. That launches it into the realm of the supernatural...therefore...

In 413 Dee discusses four brand new effects that he has not tipped in any other publication. Four working demonstrations of amazing mental power.

Schrödinger's Deck

A presentation and method for the light and heavy deck that will prove your powers of mind over matter. A spectator will easily lift a deck of your hand, then will be unable to do so. Easy to do and completely examinable. You are left with a normal deck of cards and box to move onto another effect. This could be done with a tarot deck if you are against playing cards in your work.

In 2011, Paul Voodini changed the face of the Q&A show with his groundbreaking Pure Q and A. Returning to the arena of the Q&A show, Paul now brings us 3rd Dimension Telepathy: Q&A for the Naked Generation!

Now imagine that same Q&A show, but utilising imagery from a classic two person telepathy show. The performer and a legitimate volunteer work together to answer questions posed by the audience, questions that are genuinely unseen and unknown to the performer.

Paul also covers the use of Tarot...
