This ebook contains reproducible masters to use in marketing your magic or mentalism shows. The magic component of each piece ensures that the receiver keeps it and even shows others.

Designed for the serious working performer, 'Whacked!' is a 10 minute mind-reading routine which revolves around Dave Gorman's best-selling comedy book Googlewhack Adventure. If you've no idea what that is, you can bring yourself up to speed by heading over to www.davegorman.com

This second edition manuscript gives full details of Mark's script and psychological approach – which is one of the things that lifts Whacked head and shoulders above so many other book-tests. The presentation has been honed over many, many performances for a wide variety of audiences, which ensures that the routine...

The magician presents to the spectator a deck of blue backed cards and shows that this is just a regular deck of 52 cards. The magician places the deck, face up, on a table. This is the last time that the magician will touch the deck.

The magician invites the spectator to cut the deck approximately in half and place it next to the original pile. The spectator is then invited to select one of the two piles which is then put to one side.

From the selected pile the magician invites the spectator to deal the cards face-up and to stop at ANY card they wish. This gives them a genuinely free...

"Dee Christopher has managed to find an exciting and original way to introduce a dangerous stage classic to the close-up arena. A marvel idea from an amazing artist." - Daniel Madison

"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

From the introduction by Dee...

Predictions are one of the most important plots in mentalism. As a performer you want to be ready to make a perfect prediction any time any where. And you want it to be simple, clean, and unsuspicious.

Imagine being able to make a prediction without any force, without any switch, with borrowed items, without any suspicious movements. Spot is a 100% impromptu way to make a prediction of any kind:

• ESP symbols
• Initial names
• Numbers
• Dates
• Playing Cards
• Etc.

The method behind Spot is so simple, so easy and yet so deceptive and powerful....

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.

The wonderful Dick Koornwinder is credited as the first magic creator to use...

For many years, Devin Knight's Balloon Detective has been a runaway best seller with magic shops.

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....

"Finalmente!" Dirà qualcuno, "Finalmente!" Facciamo eco noi , si infine un libro sulla magia per bambini ! Ma l'attesa sarà ricompensata in quanto in questo libro Billy Benbo ( alias BilllLainsbury ) ci spiega nei dettagli ben 16 routines professionali di successo ( il meglio, possiamo dire) del suo repertorio!

Routines preziose per tutti coloro che si trovano a dover lavorare con i bambini ( cioè quasi tutti...). Ecco alcuni esempi delle routines ( molte delle quali dettagliatissime e tutte con una completa e divertentissima presentazione) che troverai in questo libro:

IL FORZIERE...

P.D.P. (Potere Della Persuasione) è una conferenza/dimostrazione che usa semplici oggetti trasportabili in una ventiquattrore.

P.D.P. è un nuovo approccio al mentalismo che spazza via le ragnatele del passato – evitando il soprannaturale o il paranormale – e lo rende accettabile al pubblico moderno.

P.D.P. è basato sui fatti, non sulle possibilità o le probabilità. Le tecniche utilizzate sono moderne, educative, istruttive e, soprattutto, divertenti.

P.D.P. è una struttura all'interno della quale si possono includere gli effetti che già si possiedono. Qualunque cosa debba...

Il materiale descritto in questo volume è tutto di alta classe e di qualità superiore. TerriRogers era conosciuto come un esperto di topologia applicata alla prestigiazione. Diversi dei suoi giochi sono basati su inganni topologici ma non solo. Tutti gli affetti sono sorprendenti e molte volte con finali inaspettati. Gli effetti, tutti spiegati da accurati disegni, nei minimi particolari rendono questo libro un libro di cui difficilmente vi separerete trovando di sicuro qualcosa da inserire nel vostro repertorio sia che eseguiate Mentalismo, Micromagia, Cartoamgia, o magia da scena: c'è...

"PERCEZIONISMO: il riconoscimento di segnali visivi o auditivi, trasmessi volontariamente o involontariamente, che rivelano tratti e idiosincrasie personali. L'interpretazione di questi segnali può essere usata in diversi modi dal ricevente"

Il nuovo modo di fare mentalismo di Arthur Setterington che ha un approccio totalmente diverso dal solito mentalismo che vediamo eseguire.

Un approccio fresco, nuovo e naturale. In una conferenza - dimostrazione in 8 fasi che costituiscono un numero completo facile da preparare e da eseguire e che terrà il vostro pubblico incollato alle poltrone...

Senza dubbio uno dei migliori libri scritti sul nostro amico Falso Pollice, routines professionali e la maggior parte inusuali e spiegate nei minimi dettagli . Splendidi disegni chiarificatori accompagnano il di per se gia chiaro testo.

Le routines sono affascinanti e di grosso impatto : ad esempio la routine "La spedizione magica" che usa un meraviglioso metodo con un modulo per raccomandate numerato per eseguire un effetto tipo " firmato, bruciato e ricomposto, da solo vale molto di più del costo del libro.

GRANDEMENTE RACCOMANDATO !!!

"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...
