Mentalism & Spiritism in Magic & Conjuring: page 43

As the title says, this is an overview of the subject, impromptu and otherwise. For the really sincere mentalism worker, a carefully worked out ebook on the subject. Several spectators are asked to choose numbers at random, which are then added together in a totally random manner. Yet in spite of the fact that the mentalist could have no idea what numbers would be chosen, and couldn't control what order they would be added up in, when his prediction is shown, it is seen that he was somehow able to predict the exact total!

From the early methods of accomplishing this miracle, to the most recent...

What the pros have to say:

"Bryn Reynolds is one of the most exciting creators I have come across in many years. Whenever he sends me something it is top notch and is usually an item I add to my repertoire. The Safwan Papers is the latest batch of material to peak my interests. Developed in Iraq, for his fellow soldiers, the material is dynamite! (Or C-4 given the situation!) There are great routines, gadgets and gimmicks that will become standard items in your act and just plain, good ole straight-thinking behind powerful effects! One is already slated for my next set of DVD’s. I highly...

"It is with with profound pleasure that I can tell you the Logar Scrolls are now available! I have a lot of this material already. Bryn is one of the few creators whose material I actually USE in real shows. There is not one bit of filler is this book. There is not one weak effect. Everything is TOP NOTCH and totally professional. I can't begin to tell you how excited I am at this release." - Richard Osterlind

"I love how Bryn has expanded a number of the principles as well (like BCP Wrist-Watch, Crystal Ball and the other one I won't mention out loud). These are all rock-solid routines,...

The Volta System For The Feat Of Reading Sealed Messages ... says it all! Burling Hull’s personal verbosity shows up in this 16 page booklet of "the latest advances for the reading of sealed messages." In 1929, when this was released, it was the final word in sealed message reading. Today, it still ranks at the top of any list of secrets of this kind.

It covers: impromptu work with borrowed stationary; the first practical solution of what was once considered an impossible feat; the ability of this "Power" to always be available to the performer

These words from Burling Hull were used...

A beautiful piece of mentalism! Completely self working! Completely practical! Completely mind-blowing!

Effect:

A deck of cards is removed from its case and shuffled. The magician spreads the deck face up and asks a spectator to touch any card. All of the cards are different and this is truly a free choice. Let's say the spectator touches the Five of Diamonds. This card is placed face up on the table. The magician then states that the spectator is to use the value of his selection to find another card. The deck is turned face down and the spectator is asked to deal 5 cards off the top of the...

"Had a chance now to go through this eBook and give the effects some time, thanks Cameron for including me in the review copy list. I have a few of Cameron's releases now and they are all of very high quality and this is no exception. Like many people I tend to lean towards performing mentalism and having...

B'WAVY GRAVY - The spectator takes five cards from a shuffled deck, shuffles them, and then discards all but one. The magician instantly knows which card was selected.

CREATION - A card is "created" by a spectator. The magician reveals the card...

For many years the real secret of X-Ray Vision was closely guarded by a handful of magicians. This ebook gives the full low-down on how to make and apply the blindfold, plus suggested tests and routines, including the famous Blindfold Car Drive and the Marksman Test.

1st edition 1980; original 22 pages; PDF 16 pages.

The material contained within this ebook was first released to an inner circle of mentalists at a price exceeding one hundred dollars. In 1980 the material was organised in the form of a booklet and offered to mentalists on a world-wide basis. In order to eliminate the merely curious from its readership, the booklet was sold at a high cover price. Despite this fact, the book sold out completely. In 1985 Martin Breese reprinted it and now it is available as ebook for the first time.

When presented properly this "SECOND SIGHT" test will have the impact of an atomic bomb. There is no doubt that...

Concentrating on the practical application of intuition for the mentalist and the mystery performer, this 30+ page PDF is full to bursting with routines, excercises, and ideas.

This PDF very definitely thinks so - and even if you aren't sure if you actually believe in intuition, Paul Voodini and Cathy demonstrate how that doesn't actually matter! This is practical intuition, tools that will prove invaluable to all magical performers, both...

Fly on The Wall is Cedric's most ambitious work to date. What you are getting are 5 of Cedric's pet routines that he use everyday.

1. Omniscient: This is a mentalism theory created by "The Urban Entity", Cedric Taylor that works as a Q & A. It's unique in its approach because it:

• allows the performer to do a mass reading while walking around in the audience without ever needing the stage.
• can be performed for 5 or 5,000
• billet-less. (Billets are only used for pre-show work. You will also need a deck of cards.)
• can be performed at a "kisser's length" away from your spectator.
• can be...

Danielle's Heart is Cedric's interpretation of a direct mind-reading system. When he say system, don't think this is some sort of psychological, one trick pony. What kind of things can you guess? ANYTHING!

With Danielle's Heart, here's what it doesn't happen:

• No Writing
• No Pre-Show
• No Electronics
• No Assistance

1st edition 2014, 8 pages.

From the mind behind the mind of Fly on the Wall, is a Russian Roulette effect minus the actual element of danger but packs all the psychological risks and even more cringing suspense.

Imagine having to use the power of remote viewing to recreate in your mind detailed actions done by someone in the past. Someone hides their highest denomination of dollar bill (lets say a 100 dollar bill) and place it in a free selection of five envelopes without the performer looking. They even go as far as mixing the envelopes up unbeknownst to the performer. Using his mental acuity, the performer shows concrete proof...

Gnostic is a system that allows any mentalist or mystery performer to be his/her own consultant. This is being dubbed as "arguably the most dangerous manuscript ever written". Gnostic is structured so well for the stage performer, if placed in the wrong hands, it could legitimately start a cult.

Gnostic is not just an effect, its a full stage show. It puts the power in the hand of the performer. Why spend tons of money on mentalism consultants, when you can be your own consultant?

It really doesn't matter what your stage persona is, Gnostic is a system that will allow you to perform...

From the creator of Omniscient and Fly on the Wall, comes a system of presentations that will allow any performer to:

• hypnotize your participants
• read your participants minds
• make your participant hallucinate and seemingly change their realities
• show the audience one image and show the participant the same image and both the participant and the audience members see different things
• show the audience a blank canvas and show the participant the same canvas and they swear they see many things. In fact, they are 100% correct when they admit what they see, as they DO NOT PLAY ALONG.
• implant thoughts and predict outcomes ...
