Mentalism & Spiritism in Magic & Conjuring: page 34

Hexagnosis comes with a specially produced card the size of a regular credit card which you can carry in your wallet or pocket.

Now this is a double-sided weapon so you can perform various routines from both sides of the included Hexagnosis 2.0 card.

The word 'Hexagnosis' is derived from prognosis. The meaning of prognosis is 'a forecast of the likely outcome of a situation'. Hexagnosis means 'the forecast of the likely outcome of a situation which has six possible outcomes.'

The performer predicts, very cleanly and accurately, the exact choice of a participant from among six possible...

Hitchcocked is a collection of two fun-filled mentalism pieces based on the famous movies of Hitchcock. These effects are real-world workers and have been perfected through tons of performances. The 2 effects in this PDF are:

1. Ring and Rope Prelude: A great prelude to your ring & rope routine based on Hitchcock.
2. Hitchcock Prediction: A comedy Prediction routine wherein the prediction of a Hitchcock movie apparently turns out to be a gag. However, the performer proves that he had indeed been able to forecast the spectator's thought well in advance, in a most humorous manner.

"The Man at the Crossroads" is a close-up routine based on a uniquely American form of folk magic known as "hoodoo". Sometimes used as a synonym for Voodoo (a term related to the Dahomean word for spirit, vodun, and the more generalized West African juju), "hoodoo" technically refers to magical practices sometimes known as "conjure" - a hybrid of African and European beliefs nowadays far removed from their original West African religious roots - and is comprised of complex magical practices as well as simple medicinal procedures. (Practitioners, however, usually refer to the latter as "signs"...

Now you can take your spectators on a tour of horror-ful amazement.

Your guest selects a horror movie title (one of nearly 200)...then answers three questions designed to probe deep into their psyche.

The program then correctly identifies the movie title they originally chose!

With a few fun surprises along the way, and the fact that it can be performed wherever you can lay your hands on a computer; this is a unique effect!

Here's the low-down:

• The choice of movie title is completely free;
• No suspicious keyboard work;
• No 'assistant' needed (hidden or otherwise);
• Can be repeated;...

This is the same as Horror Show except here, you get a license to reuse, sell (or even give-away) your very own version of Horror Show.

We reconfigure the program just for you! The program screens feature your name, company, logo and/or weblink. The Horror Show Guidance booklet will also be reconfigured to display your contact details (or whatever you wish).

Well, we could stop there... but, no, there's more: Horror Show Pro also includes custom artwork and templates (with your details emblazoned on them) so you can burn the program to CD to sell or give-away. Why would anyone want a business card?...

"The Horwitz Add a Number Pad is, as far as I am concerned, the ultimate of its type." - Graham Jolley

It is based on the principle of the Basil Horwitz Wallet with the hip-pocket sized leather writing pad locking firmly using embedded magnets. This tool allows a range of mentalist effects for large and small...

From the preface:

This is an exposure of a psychic scam being worked today that is almost foolproof. The unusual thing about this scam is that the sucker in most cases never realizes he was conned. Therefore he never reports the psychic to the authorities and the psychic can operate in the same area for years with immunity!

Millions of people go missing each year and many unscrupulous psychics and mediums claim they can find these people for a FEE.

This is an exposure of a scam that was worked on the author in his younger years. It shows step-by-step how the psychic makes it appear that he has found the...

‎"A captivating study on deceptive theories scarcely analysed. A compelling read for those in the allied arts and the curious alike." - Daniel Madison

Dee Christopher exposes the trickery, deception and fraud undertaken by the world's leading psychics, psychokinetics and mediums. Unlike other studies of this nature in the parapsychological world, the author's background lies in the art of conjuring, sleight of hand and mentalism. You will learn how to replicate these demonstrations.

Christopher divulges the secrets held close by these figures who have conned the world into believing their skills...

Two lost secrets of Jason Michaels finally revealed. This is the only PDF to the best of our knowledge ever written on the subject. In this release you will learn Jason Michaels' secrets for creating the illusion of seeing in the dark. Jason made quite a reputation for himself doing these stunts back in the 80s revealed for the first time.

One of these secrets even fooled Al Mann. The effect is that the psychic or mentalist has a book examined to make sure all the pages are different. It can be a borrowed book. The performer rubs a cream under his eyes, claiming this allows him to see in the dark....

From the introduction by B.W. McCarron:

From the disturbed mind of Paul Voodini comes this latest ebook - Hypno-Mental Self-Working Card Tricks. Simple and classic self-working card tricks are taken and thoroughly shaken up in a way and manner that only Paul Voodini could conceive of.

While on a trip to Bermuda, séance host and mind-reader Paul Voodini is forced to while away the hours by entertaining his fellow travellers with his favourite self-working card tricks. However, as you can imagine, the card tricks soon become demonstrations of the untapped power of the mind. Spectators are placed into light trances which allows them...

Many have discovered Dale Hildebrandt as a thinker like no other. His creations are unique, weird, absurd, surreal and lead to extremely strong effects. He writes in his introduction:

An exciting, humorous routine, which combines subtle mentalism with magic! From the fertile mind of Ralf Wichmann-Braco - the German wizard who brought the world of magic some of the most pivotal work on the use of thread, this routine combines the elements of prediction, animation and great humor to stun the audience into believing that a felt tip marker has come to life inside a wooden box.

The magician brings out a wooden box, about the size of a small cigar humidor. He borrows an object from a spectator. The object is placed inside a small cardboard box. Then this box and a felt tip marker...

"This is another powerful idea from Devin. Now, it is unusual and not something you would be doing in a show. But, if you want to make an impact with a client, or future client, then this is something you can learn and put in your personal arsenal. I'm sure many workers will want to add it into their memory banks of things they can use to look like memory experts." - Greg Arce

"As a veteran performer of over 17 years as the house mentalist at Magic Island in Houston, TX, I had been using the old Paul Linder version sparingly because of the possibility of repeating the same number for two people....

IGG - According to Wikipedia "This is the most common type of antibody found in humans. It protects the body from infection."

IGG - Here this means "Instant Gig Getter". It insulates your performance from potential spectator disinterest. It also 'infects' your participant with absolute amazement.

IGG is an instant killer. You could ideally do this for someone from whom you may be soliciting a gig - an agent or a VIP client etc.
