Mentalism & Spiritism in Magic & Conjuring: page 22

"Dee shared with me this concept and I must say that is really something smart and revolutionary. Being able to spark your own creativity and let the book fit your persona as performer and not in reverse. I did this years ago with my own book tests (in Spanish) but in here Dee is giving you all that work and much more. I recommend without a doubt this great release." - Pablo Amira (Mentalism Author)

"You should be charging WAY more for this!!" - Alan Rorrison (Consultant for Dynamo & Troy TV shows)

The book test is a classic in mentalism and mental magic. Every professional show demonstrating the power...

A collection of effects that deal directly with thoughts. Only three of them need anything tangible, and only one requires writing; the rest can be performed naked. Combat with your thoughts, divine birthdays, scam bar mates, use two different cold reading presentations, make your spectator see words they never saw, verbally force cards in seconds, psychologically force thoughts, bend the wills of an audience; let your spectator read your mind, another spectators mind, or even speak life into being.

• Part 1: Hacking the Mind
  • Thought Dueling: Duel a spectator with your thoughts, and get...

This is the third and last part in Bill Dekel's "MindCraft" series.

Mene, Mene, Dekel (MMD)
MMD allows you to gain access to a number, some words, or names that a spectator writes down, all thought of by a spectator. The effect is completely impromptu, and you need nothing to perform it other then yourself. Without peeking, you turn your head or look away as your spectator writes a number from 1 to 100 in the air. You then know what number they are thinking of. You can apply this to book tests, drawing duplications, PIN number revelations... The possibilities are limitless, and with some...

A spectator raises a number of fingers behind their back. You instantly know what that number is, without reflections, assistants, or gimmicks.

"When used as a tool within another effect (a reading or the Sympathy idea) most folks would consider this to be real mind reading." - Donald Rackley

"Dirt easy and simple which is what we all yearn for in an effect." - Giani the Mentalist

• 100% Impromptu
• Limitless Possibilities
• Rock Paper Scissors

Content

1. Mind Plant: A subject thinks of a word, number or picture and you are able to reveal it. Nothing is written down and no preshow. ...

"I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see this employed as standard practice with psychological forces in the years to follow – It would be ridiculous not to use it. If there is a PS4, this deserves a chapter in it." - MagicAtlas from the Magic Cafe

"Bill was kind enough to send me a copy of Direct, and I must say I like it very much. I tried it few times and it worked each time." - northerwarrior from the Magic Cafe

"Well thought out. I think it's one of those things that many can put into their arsenals and use at the appropriate moments." - Greg Arce

"I enjoyed reading through Direct...

It has been a few years since the publication of Modern Mentalism with its 3 Volumes and little time since the publication of Mentalism from A to Z. In these volumes, techniques, psychology, tricks, ethics and much more have been explained about the world of mentalism. This world is always immense as a heritage of creativity for which I wanted to publish this new guide with a different approach: not to mention particular techniques but making available to the reader only tricks of mentalism to be carried out immediately.

The aim is to create a real practical repertoire, to be performed...

The title sums up the spirit of the guide, in fact with this eBook the purpose was precisely to give an overview of the art of mentalism, talking about the techniques used, psychology, cold reading and much more, not getting lost in descriptions of details that only the individual performer can and must necessarily learn and refine by trying and trying again.

For this reason, no room has been given to the presentations. It seems a paradox not to mention the presence of an illusionistic effect when this is probably more than 90 percent of the effect itself, but, as said little, the presentation...

Necessity is the mother of all invention. Developed for a series of lectures, the Outlaw deck is the first freely shuffled and visually examinable tossed out deck. The Outlaw is a devious new principle that allows you to show all the cards as being different and then you are able to allow a spectator to shuffle the deck and hand them back to you. You now are ready to perform a tossed out deck or one of many other miracles mentioned in the ebook and know precisely which spectator is thinking of which card. The outlaw deck makes for a perfect close-up visual think a card deck as well! This is...

A dramatic test in remote viewing.

Effect: A little book is shown to have different capital cities written on it’s pages. The mentalist explains that these are places that he would like to visit in the future. A participant is asked to randomly select a page, and choose one of the cities he sees. The mentalist, without any fishing of any kind, announces the correct city being thought of. The participant then thinks of a freely selected place within the city and this is, once again, correctly deduced by the mentalist. As a final climax, the participant thinks of something associated with...

The impression pad you do not need to open after the spectator has closed it.

These are instructions on how to create your own pads, however you do not need any great DIY skills to construct it. This ebook contains

A recording, wonderfully introduced by Goodliffe, of Dunninger giving his only lecture ever to a group of magicians in the United States. The recording was taken on June 16th 1965 as a part of the 37th IBM convention in Des Moines Iowa. This is an opportunity to hear what one of the world's most successful magicians has to say about his art to fellow magicians.

This is a digitally re-mastered (MP3) version of the original MagiCassette™ by Martin Breese - now owned by Lybrary.com.

This is the classic work on waking hypnosis, the publication that inspired recent writings by Kross, Enriquez, Knepper, and others. Meyer describes, in considerable detail (including scripts) the act originally developed by Professor George Lyman, and later performed by Meyer himself. Using no props, no preparation, no pre-show, and no confederates of any kind, this is a complete 45–60 minute act in itself, and plays to the largest audiences. Not recommended for beginners in mentalism, as it does require mature presentation skills. This is a highly-sought-after manuscript on "the real thing"...

Anate is a psychological technique. It's a subtlety that is not 100% sure fire, but when you get the technique down and you hit, you'll know it.

Imagine placing one card on the table, face down. The spectator decides on a card, they turn over the card to reveal a perfect match. The place explodes.

Imagine holding your wallet in full view and asking a spectator to name a card. The card is then instantly pulled from your wallet.

Imagine something that you can carry with you always, to create impossible, unbelievable prop-free demonstrations with boundaries as limitless as your imagination. ...

Techniques and effects for the modern mentalist.

"Dee has outdone himself with this one. It is literally filled to the brim with practical working material. One of the best mentalism ebooks I've read in a long time." - Matt Mello

• Esoteric - Impromptu Wallet Peek:
  A number is thought of by a spectator and written upon a business card. This card is slid face down into the magician's wallet and the wallet closed so that there is no way for the magician to see what is written.

  The magician hones in on the spectator's thoughts and commits to what he thinks by writing it on a business...

Master Mentality is an important addition to the rather sparse literature available on the little-known subject of contact mind reading.

Contact mind reading is generally believed to be almost impossible to practice and hard to learn. Stanton Carlisle demonstrates that this is not at all the case. His instructions share all the secrets of a successful performance and the techniques to learn and master this art.

I consider this the most important work of Stanton Carlisle. He shares many bits and tips of the business of mentalism in general, not just the techniques and methods to become...

A sinister workhorse billet combination of Al Mann's Mag-Eye move and Millard Longman's Acidus Novus.

From the introduction:

Make money in reading a person's drawing.

There are many methods known as projective techniques. A wide range of materials can be used to stimulate projective responses. The five main types of response are: Associations to words or ink spots, Construction of stories, Arranging or choosing visual or verbal alternatives, and expression through drawings.

Peter Stammers explains in this ebook how you can perform a reading using a drawing. It is a simplified version of the "House Tree Person" analysis method and is not a system for "any" drawing. This is a unique and scientifically based method....

The Haunting of Paul Voodini is a compilation of routines and set pieces, many of them taken directly from the “shut eye” paranormal community. These routines would sit well in any bizarre, mentalism, or séance theatre presentation and should be regarded as building blocks and foundations around which evenings of wonder and mystery may be built.

As with most of Voodini’s work, the vast majority of this work is ungimmicked and relies instead upon the correct creation of atmosphere, the subtle use of hypnotic wording, and the ability of the performer to engage the guests’ imaginations....

This is the piece that Kenton Knepper called "Brilliant". Alain Nu and Luke Jermay both gave this the thumbs up. Craig Browning flipped over it. But what exactly is it?

This is not a magic trick. This is real mind control. Yes, seriously.

First Impression(s) was written for anyone that uses business cards to promote their magic or mentalism business. First Impression(s) will teach you a special way of designing your card that will influence others to show it to every one they know. This is not a "Magic trick" as you would typically think of it.

This is the business card layout, powerful cold/warm reading script, and influence...
