Mentalism & Spiritism in Magic & Conjuring: page 26

Three profound experiences you can give to an audience.

Includes Emotional Empathy: A drawing test where the best case scenario is that the drawings do NOT match! This takes the drawing test into whole new realms. With Emotional Empathy you'll always be silently hoping the drawings DO NOT MATCH! The real magic in Emotional Empathy lies in the fact that the performer will create a long-lasting, unforgettable and PERMANENT change in the lives of a loving couple, creating for them a life of "abundance". An opportunity for the performer to be forever remembered as the supreme talisman.

• THE THIRD DIMENSION: In this triple-barreled test, you discover three thought-of symbols in a baffling manner.
• SYM-SATIONAL: Three spectators each peek at a symbol. The performer reads their minds and names each symbol.
• MILLION TO ONE ESP: One of the strongest routines with ESP cards. Five spectators each select five face-down cards apiece. At the end they find out they have selected one each of the five symbols.
• SYMBOL DISCERNMENT: In spite of not seeing the cards, you reveal how many of the spectator's selected symbols have been dealt and you are able to detect if a packet contains a...

• WILD ESP-RESSIONS (Aldo Colombini): You show two sets of ESP cards. You predict a choice of an ESP symbol (say the Star), then four different symbols change to blank cards and four letters appear on the back of four cards to spell the selected symbol: S-T-A-R!
• PERFECT (Jozsef Kovacs): Five (say) red-backed cards are used as predictions and are dealt onto five blue-packets, at random. If the red card is a Square, the other cards are all Squares, etc. Perfect match.
• ESP-ABILITY (Aldo Colombini): A deck is shown all shuffled and a spectator deals the cards switching pairs (or triplets) of cards. When the...

"It's hard to find a new plot in magic or mentalism but Stefan has cracked it with his EGGstremely Dangerous routine. I can't wait to put this into an act. It will play well with all ages." - Wayne Rogers

"If you are looking to add some great comedy to your mentalism act, then look no further. This is one of the funniest mental routines I have seen. It is sure to please any audience." - Devin Knight

The Sanda-Panda Mystery Box is an ungimmicked 6"x 4" cardboard box. It is always in full view and gives you the ability to make near impossible predictions. No pre-show work and all are ONE-MAN effects. No secret assistants or stooges are used in any of the effects. NO FORCES of any kind are used in any effect.

IMPOSSIBLE CARD PREDICTION: Two participants form a card to ensure the choice is random. One chooses the suit and the other the value with no restrictions. You take the lid off the box - inside is a deck of cards and a folded 8" x 5" piece of paper. The participant unfolds the paper....

David Hoy was a mentalist who later billed himself as genuine psychic. In this audio recording he tries to teach you how to develop your own psychic abilities.

Here is the original back cover text:

Equivo-Lock is David's version of Seven Keys to Baldpate by Annemann. An ungimmicked padlock and seven keys are given to a spectator. The spectator tries all seven keys and finds out that none of the keys will open the lock. The performer now produces an eighth key, which does open the lock. The spectator now relocks the padlock, and the keys are placed into a wine glass. The keys are then mixed. The spectator now uses her powers of intuition to eliminate all but one of the eight keys. The selected key is tried in the lock and the lock opens!

The lock is not gimmicked and maybe completely examined....

"I really like clever principles and if you're also a fan, you'll like this eBook a lot" – Michael Kociolek

More Mind Magic is a collection of four mentalism effects that are suited to close-up and especially one-to-one performance.

The first effect, Predetermination, is a completely self-working impromptu effect in which the mentalist correctly predicts the outcome of a card-mixing procedure, even though the spectator freely chooses the procedural steps after the prediction is made.

The second effect, Seven Shooter, is a packet trick with a Russian Roulette plot. The seven firing chambers...

For many years, Devin Knight's Balloon Detective has been a runaway best seller with magic shops. Due to many requests, Devin is offering his Balloon Detective as a PDF along with the cards you can print out. This way when they wear out, you can print them as you need them without having to buy the trick over again.

This is a great tool for both family entertainers and mentalists. You can use this even if you have never made a balloon animal in your life. One of the effects doesn't even use real balloons!

Until now, there have been few ways to tie in your magic with balloon sculpturing....

POW is the Mentalist's PAL.

POW (Psychic On Wheels) is DIY Series #3, where you will learn the novel application of using a small motorized toy car to find a freely selected or forced card. No major modifications required, no knowledge of electronics needed - just the proper know-how.

Main Effect:

POW will travel over a row of cards and directly stop on the spectator's selected card. POW will also follow freshly drawn curving lines (road) to a row of cards and will automatically stop on the chosen card.

Dave Arch writes:

• SUPERIMPOSED (Arun Bonerjee): A spectator selects two symbols by cutting the deck. You predicted those symbols in a very original and funny way.
• ESP BUNDLE (Jozsef Kovacs): A spectator cuts the deck and places a face-up card in the middle (say a Cross). Then he makes packets of cards. At the top of each packet the same symbol appears. Finally, you find the fifth matching symbol.
• COLORIFIC (Felix Greenfield): A truly sensational effect. Five spectators freely select five cards each from the top or bottom of the deck at random and each find five different symbols.
• DOUBLETAKE (Max Maven): With the cards...

Two different effects in one!

One of the most novel effects you will see. Something totally unique...combined with a new principle in mentalism that will delight even seasoned pros. This is release five in Devin Knight's Psychic Sight Series.

MIRRORED THOUGHT

The first effect is one that Devin has used to fool well informed mentalists in the past. Two spectators are brought on stage. Neither is a stooge nor has there been any pre-show work.

The first spectator freely selects a word from the stack of word cards. There is no force of any kind and the mentalist really does not know...

Tarot Chairs is a strong, entertaining Chair Test, combined with the Tarot.

"I love it! A great, simple routine for stage or parlour involving the Tarot that is both entertaining and engaging! There is a lot of scope here for the performer to inject his own personality which is always great. There simply aren't enough good quality routines out there that utilise the Tarot, and this is a great addition to that small collection. Simply fantastic!" - Paul Voodini

"I love Tarot Chairs. It's a great idea, and one that could be performed in almost every type of situation." - Richard Webster

1st edition 2012, updated...

Three unusual gimmicks for PK mysteries.

MELTING SPOON

This is Gerard's take on the classic bending spoon effect, but just between two fingers: the spoon visually melts. You will need to buy something you won't find in magic stores. (It will cost you just a few dollars.)

UNIVERSAL DETECTOR

A borrowed beer mat is torn and folded in half by a spectator. The performer writes "ALCOHOL BREATH ANALYZER" on it. The beer mat will bend when approaching a pint of beer or a glass of wine but not with a glass of water for instance! Very versatile method that can be very useful and bring something...

The name of this ebook partially comes from the fact you will learn nine amazing routines involving mentalism. You will also discover a method that possesses unique possibilities. It is the power of this system that creates the magic behind each routine and thus the true reason for the title IX.

I. Corporate Thoughts - Out of a list of 100 major companies a spectator makes a selection. A free thought is developed based upon the company chosen. In an astonishing display of ESP you are able to draw a design that is directly related to their very thoughts!

II. 52 Thoughts - A super strong...

A spectator is handed a theatrical review sheet and is asked to choose one of the hundreds of words that make up the various articles. There is no restriction of choice and the word is not written down. It is merely thought of by the spectator.

When the spectator is ready the mentalist begins to concentrate and slowly, letter by letter, reveals the mentally chosen word. It is that direct. A spectator things of a word and you reveal it. The spectator can choose a different word and you can repeat the effect right away.

Simple to learn, simple to perform, devastating in effect. What more...

A practical and easy two-way out system.

Janus V3 is a very simple and practical two-way out system. It is impromptu and everything is examinable before and after. It allows you to leave your business card.

To describe it, we can compare it to another system by Scott Guinn called Assertive positive/negative.

• The reader must also know another principle by Max Maven (in Videomind Volume 2) but the method and presentation are completely different.
• It also uses business cards (or jumbo cardboard cards).
• It can be done anytime with no setup. It is impromptu if you have a 'little something' with you (It is not a gimmick, it...

All these routines are self-working with no sleight-of-hand whatsoever.

CONTENTS:

• QUINCIDENTA: A spectator freely selects a design. Two other persons select a design each. The designs match. A deal leads to two more designs and they all match.
• FACEY ESP: A freely selected symbol finds its matching sign. All is done in the hands of a spectator.
• REPEATOTEST: You find three designs a person is concentrating on. Then you reverse two cards which prove to be duplicates of two more designs he has selected.
• THIRTEAM ESP: Great routine and a new principle. Cards are shuffled and dealt in pairs...
